You got to walk the walk. Unless you have a handicap tag then you can ride a four wheeler on designated trails.

To bad my boots are at my hunting camp or I would be willing to go up there with you. Don't forget there is Indian Bayou right down the road. It has the same regs as Thistlewaite but it doesn't get hunted as hard.

Tim hunting Thistlewaite is very difficult as I grew up in Opelousas and I have hunted it a ton and I have never managed to kill a deer out of it. This is the only reserve I have ever hunted that I can't kill out of. I plan on changing that later this year or so I hope.

It is the either sex gun weekend at Thistlethwaite this weekend. Be carefull if you end up going there and walking around in the woods. Not a good weekend to go scouting with the potential of flying lead.

Plenty of areas to get away from hunters in indian bayou by boat. The access trails off the levee are where most of the hunters will be. No where near the amount of pressure compared to the rest of the public propertys in our area. I plan on making a few hunts there during the rut for late bow season. If you go bring a shotgun too,good bit of wood ducks.

In north henderson. When you take the butte la rose exit off 1-10 pretty much everything to the north west is indian bayou. There is some private property in the area though,get a map.

I remember years ago when i was a kid they used to do a lottery hunt in thistlewaite. If you were lucky and got your named pulled in the first round it wasnt bad at all.
