It isn't a very easy Hunt and you have to deal with other hunters BUT Sabing Refuge just south of Hackberry offers some really GREAT duck hunting, i pay thousands for a lease in a prime area but i still make several trips to sabine refuge every year.

really..ive never heard of it...see i know a guy who owns a very expensive lease/camp in hackberry..and i dont want to find something to expensive...i really wanted it to have more timber in it..does sabine have alot of timber?

[biglaketiger]

Everything in the Hackberry area is mostly marsh and exspensive if you can even find any leaseable land. Sabine Refuge is a well known area here in southwest la...no timber, just marsh land with open ponds throughout. I'm telling you very good hunting but you have to make a few scouting trips and learn the area, it's around 30,000 acres i believe.

After two hurricanes, Sabine resembles big lake.

It took a beating yeah and lost some marsh but i wouldn't say it's exactly one big wide open marsh, was around there the other day and things are growing and looking better.

i can remember hunting sabine a long time ago when our duck pond was full of cat tales and dollar lilys

used to murder the ducks in there, seems like lacassine is way better now

Yeah, i've heard that lacassine has been great, i've only tried to hunt lacasine once and i didn't know really the area good enough, i had a very hard go of it, especially just getting to the reserve, we launched in lake arthur and had to cross that big lake, man that was a experience with a 20mph north wind blowing!

If you crossed "Lake Arthur" you road an extra 5 to 7 mile to get there. There are launches much closer and you are a lot more protected from the wind in the river.

Yeah but my buddy had a camp right there at the launch so we left from there, never do that again!

A group of us camped out on Lake Arthur many many years ago.

When it got light.....there were hundreds of Geese flying everywhere. I got out of the sleeping bag just long enough to look at them and "melt" some of the frost on the ground and get back in the sleeping bag with my girlfriend.

Yup, same here. Before the hurricanes I only hunted Sabine. Now, I won't go back. We do just fine in Lacassine. Deer huntin in Lacassine ain't bad either.
