I’m curious how many of y’all actually hunt Tensas.
I have hunted there since the late 90's. It is by far one of the most humbling places I have ever hunted. The primitive weekend is the one weekend I will never hunt there. Expect a lot of people and wear a lot of orange. It will be hot so expect to fight mosquitos as well.
Good luck and stay safe.

The only thing better is watching the launch at Moon Lake on the 4th of July with a 12 pack of White Cans.

The areas I’ve seen big deer were always a couple miles into the woods between fingers of water. Guy that I work with has camp up there, he said that area is dry. Might want to look into the no waterfowl hunting area. There’s some private land you can get next to also, but everyone knows about that too. With these new crossbows, I’m tempted to go paddle around once it floods and pick one off at 80-90 yards.

I grew up hunting the south end when it was still private. Heaven on earth.

I’m also an old timer who had fortune to hunt tensas before the refuge. Grew up hunting Bengal Hunting club around big lake with our camp on the Tensas. The memories and stories I could tell. It was a paradise. A big mud hole when wet, but fun as hell.

Well… hunted Tensas Friday. Found good sign, saw no people and 1 deer. Was feeling optimistic as really this was more of a scouting trip with a little bit of hunting mixed in
That all changed on Saturday. I’ve hunted public land for several years now. Never have I ever experienced pressure quite like that. We drove down Mill/Quebec Rd. Lost count at 70 trucks
Ended up going to Bayou Macon yesterday afternoon and this morning. Interesting piece of property. Anyone know anything about it?

When I was a kid my dad was friends with a guy who owned part of Spring Bayou Hunting Club, it butted up to what is now the refuge and I think the family donated some of their land to the refuge if I'm not mistaken.
We would see 50-60 deer day at times and all kinds of wildlife, it was awesome to hunt their after hunting N Louisiana most of my life

Hunted there in the 90s when the Stutts Field was planted in corn. The refuges’ primary management focused around waterfowl. There would be 100k ducks in there at times. The last few weekends of the season we had a brake we would hunt that was 1/2 mile walk from the river. You could bring as many people as you wanted and limit on mallards and gadwalls. It was unreal the ducks would get off that field and start filtering into the woods You would have a pair of ducks working and then look up above them and there would be 100 dropping down
Then the public griped about access and they put an ATV trail right up to it. It got shot out quick and then the field got planted in hardwoods. Good times as a kid

Grew up hunting there in the 60-80’s. Killed many a deer and duck in that same basic area. It was a garden of Eden. I feel so blessed to have had that opportunity with my father and grandfather. The amount of game that existed there when Mr KC Loftin owned Greenleaf bend was just incredible.

What part of the state do you consider Tensas?

From what I remember we were in Tensas Parish when we hunted, I know when we went they always said we were going to Tensas

Yep. That’s cool stuff.

I hunted Mr.Loftins place a few times in the late 60s. I remember watching the Jets and Broadway Joe win the superbowl at his camp. Like was said, it was a paradise. My best friends dad owned a section with a camp in the middle of what is now the reserve and used to be Africa Hunting Club. Drank a lot of beer there.
