There is several public land WMA's North of Lake charles. Search WMA's in Louisiana. Start from there for the land. Sherburne is a good one I haven;t hunted yet

Thanks hunting fool. So basically most WMA's are public land? Do I have to contact the WMA manager before I head into the WMA? If you don't know, no problem. I appreciate the input!

Also I know a lease that is relatively cheap Notrh of Elton, It was only like 350 a year if that is not to steep. Won't get any wall hangers probably but can come out of it with some meat every year probably. I would have to find out if they have a waiting list. My Dad manages a couple of leases for a group of Lawyers that own alot of land. Let me know if you are interested in any of these options.

$350 is not too bad, but would rather spend it on gear, gas, etc. I cannot hold a job during the school year due to 20+hours of workouts each week. What money I do have is reserved for bills, gas, food, etc. If I can somehow manage that, I will let you know. Thanks for the input!

Like they said, Sherburne is a good one. Its huge.
Scouting is the ticket. Bring a GPS and just pick a direction that looks good on the map and walk your mccheese d i c k off. You willl most likely find areas to duck and deer hunt as sherbune is full of swamp and bayous.
Most of the time the trick to those places is to walk further then mosy ppl are willing to hunt. Get away from the knuckleheads.

I will have to call academy and see if they carry them. Save McCheese comments for the gill net brotha! While scouting, what should I look for? Knowing I won't have a feeder, I know they love acorns. Should I look for large stands of acorns? Also your last statement makes a lot of sense. I'm in good shape and dont have a problem walking farther than most people. A handheld GPS will be the ticket. Thanks for the input!!
