Thats real hunting there, no feeders. It is incredibly thick in there due to hurricane Katrina but it's getting thin enough you can start to hunt. No feeders here. What you do is go in main entrance old hwy 11 and pick you one of the many parking spots at head of trails. Head down trail a ways and cut in when you find a spot you like. You need to spend one or two days walking with a gps to locate a couple little open flats or trails or acorn trees dropping. Pick you out a good tree and clean it up while your scouting so when you come back with climber you'll be ready. They have plenty animals deer and hogs but it's so thick they are tough. If you're in the right spot you will hear hogs often, try to adjust next hunt to get on them. Very tough but very rewarding. A gps and good clippers and gloves are a must and safety glasses are a good idea, the briars are ruthless.

Thanks big Jim.. Appreciate the help.. Like I said I been out to pearl and just drove the roads and didn't really see where I could hunt. Next time I go out there I will look out for the trails.. When I find the trails, just pull over off to the side and head into the thick?

hey man, head on over to www.bayoubucks.com and go to the forum. there you will find a list of WMA's and NWR's. they are in alphabetical order so they are easy to find. No offense to LA Sportsman, but most guys on BB's are pretty helpful.

I used to hunt both area years ago and just keep in mind that for Pearl River in addition to your state issued hunting license you will need a management area permit. I believe they're around $ 15.00, but Bogue Chitto used to be a federal refuge and there was a place in Slidell you had to get a permit from to hunt there, but it was free. Like I said I haven't hunted either in years, but wouldn't hurt to ask around, good luck!!! Also, here's the link to Wildlife and Fisheries, good source for a list of WMA's and maps of them. http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/
