I was just wondering if anyone from BS ever hunted the spillway? I was thinking about doing a little scouting out there this week or next... thanks!
sorry guys, the Bonnet Carre Spillway... I mainly bow hunt, but occaisionally duck hunt. And it looks like I can do both there. I just didn't know what's the best way to traverse the area... atv, trailbike, walking it? etc... might just take a walk out there next week sometime if it ever stops raining around here
South of US 61 to the tracks, #6 steel shot during duck season. Deer season, north of US61 beyond the power lines to the lake, shotgun only. No ball ammo, no skeet shooting. It is Federally managed property and Park Rangers are in the area constantly. You cannot have any firearms that shoot ball ammo in your vehicle or on your person. They will be confiscated and from what I have seen in the past, good luck getting them back.
Quoted from the Corps regs, the term is sort of an archaic term from when ammo actually was a ball. Today it refers to any single projectile ammo, hence,only shotguns are allowed in the spillway.What do you mean "shoot ball ammo"?
Really, all the game either went to high ground or got swept away in the flood waters.
Plenty of nutrias to hunt in the ponds and once you cut the head, feet and tail off and skin it it looks like rabbit. Birdshot and buckshot only out there and not even a .22 permitted. I am presuming you are talking about the Bonne Carr spillway?
