But overall the piney woods do not produce the monsters like the hardwood river bottoms? That’s what I’ve gathered here.
Soils are a big factor in growing deer
The most fertile soils in the state are in river floodplains (former river floodplains in many cases) Also where you see the most productive crops grown

You mean size of horns?
St. James
I killed a 4 point once.
You mean numbers?
St. James.
My cousin killed two spikes one year.

Rule of thumb if the parish north of Baton Rouge and on the MS River it will produce quality deer.
A lot of these deer are swimming the river back and forth. If they are lucky when they are 3-4 years old they are only on the MS side, otherwise they are probably getting shot.

Is it genetics or poor management practices?

Vermilion Parish has row crops and a river / river bottoms running thru it. Not one damn deer from Bordelon's list is from Vermilion.

The last few years some absolute studs have come almost within the city limits of Ruston with several more coming from around the Choudrant area. Not sure what genetics got turned loose over there but something is going on.

I'm related to #4 Dr. H.B. Womble. There was an article about his deer in Louisiana Conservationist Magazine in the late 70's with a picture of that deer. My grandfather had told me about it. He was a kid back then.

Not that parish specifically but I know of several that could be on the list and are not.
Some people do not want their stuff where everyone can see…

The biggest buck I ever took in Louisiana was from Thistlewaite in St. Landry. He was 194 lbs. Was on a hunt with my cousins in 87. Good times.
My late FIL and his friends hunted the woods between Garland and Whiteville. About 10 years ago one of his friends took a 220 pound monster out there. I have a pic of it, dang thing was huge.

While that is a heavy deer, most mature bucks in the delta and red River area are going to weigh that much or more. St. Landry has some good deer though.
