Waterfowl Hunting in Southeast Louisiana

Waterfowl?

Ok, so me and my buddy love duck hunting, but are college students(broke), and we go to UL, we are looking for somewhere about 30-40 minutes away from downtown Lafayette where we can go kill some ducks. We live on campus so we can only use a pirogue we bring with us. Is indian bayou accessable by paddling? is lake martin worth the trouble? we want to hunt teal and big ducks.

ducks

You from montz? I am from laplace. Dude come home on the weekend a few times and hunt salvador wma. We were killin a bunch of ducks at the end of the season out there. I dont know of any really good hunting out by lafayette that is public. Salvador is almost all divers so it doesnt really pay to hunt it until the second split. I hunted in davis pond but some friends i know hunt bayou gauche side and smoked em there too.

gas.

thats just a lot of gas to be coming home every weekend. We have very good spots near my home in montz, but i dont want to drive hour and a half each way to go kill ducks.

Ducks

You can definitely go to the levee in Henderson and paddle into Indian bayou and kill ducks. Got a good buddy that does just that

IB

does indian bayou extend southwards past interstate?
It seems more open down their, and more like ponds rather than hunting in canals like north of interstate

Indian Bayou Map

No, sadly the boundaries of IB do not extend south of I10. Here's a link to a map: http://www.mvn.usace.army.mil/recreation/docs/Aerial%20Brochure%20Map.pdf
I had a couple good hunts out there last year, though, as another paddler, I would warn you that it's tougher for us out there. Lots of hunters, long paddles, and very little open water. Most of the open water is closer to I10 (a long paddle). There's some good holes close to the pipeline lauch, but they go fast. And by fast, I mean you would need to be paddling by 4. That said, it's beautiful hunting out there. Worth at least some scouting.
