Heading to Tensas NWR this weekend for a hunting/scouting trip. Have a week long trip planned after New Years.

Looks like it is also primitive weekend. Poor planning I suppose. What should I expect as far as overall pressure and hunters? Will it be WWIII?

If you don’t speak Cajun French you might want to learn hand signals or another means of communication.

Hwy 65N looked like an ISIS parade last week.

Niiiice. I'll be stationed on 65 Sunday around Newelton drinking a blood and watching the exodus heading south. It is a sight to behold.

Primitive weekend is typically the most crowded weekend of the season. Especially with what's considered "primitive". Hopefully there's a few deer left after the first lottery hunt last weekend. You're almost guaranteed to see a few hogs...they're everywhere this year. Best of luck, wear your orange.

Get 100 yards off the road and HUNT. Pressure pushes the deer to layup near the roads. Not kidding. Find some sign and hunt. Let the people push the deer to you.

Very overrated. Noting like it was years ago due to bears and hogs. Overall deer numbers are very low. Like another poster said, plenty of hogs to shoot.

Truth: Tensas is just not worth the trouble anymore. Over Hunted with tons of pressure, Congested with hunters that just don't know what they are doing and show no respect, Bears have destroyed what some call the best hunting areas from back in the early 2000's. Honestly I'd go somewhere else. Game wardens are there by the dozen, not that its a bad thing but they are borderline harassing at times and ruin at least one hunt each time i go by just randomly walking in the woods checking hunters. Pisses me off to no end. But that's another post. Now if you enjoy a guys trip, cooking, drinking, a few lies around a camp fire. Thats the place to be. Sorry to be so blunt but it is the truth.

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?
