According to Cameron Prairie and Lacassine National Wildlife Refuge Managers, Glenn Harris and Richard Meyers, respectively, bow hunting for each of these refuges has opened on Friday, October 1, 2010, and will remain open through Friday, November 12, 2010. Bow hunting will be in accordance with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries regulations. Hunters are required to carry a signed copy of the refuge regulations while hunting. Each hunter is required to fill out a Big Game Harvest Report following each hunt, whether successful or not. Hunters on both refuges may enter the hunt areas no earlier than 4:00 am and may remain no later than two hour after sunset each day.
Cameron Prairie National Wildlife Refuge hunt area may be accessed by designated roads and canals. Vehicle access is allowed only on the Pintail Wildlife Drive, West Cameron Prairie Road, and the Bank Fishing Road (other levees and dirt roads are closed to vehicle access). Motorboat access is allowed only on the North Canal (the East refuge boundary), the "Outfall Canal", and the Gulf Intra-Coastal Waterway. These boat approved areas can be accessed from the public boat launch under the Gibbstown Bridge on Louisiana Highway 27. All terrain vehicles (airboats, 3 and 4 wheelers, and marsh buggies) are not allowed anywhere on the refuge.
The Lacassine National Wildlife Refuge hunt area is the entire refuge excluding the Wildlife Drive and the Headquarters area. Boat access for archery deer hunting is permitted October 1 through 15 inside Lacassine Pool and the entire season outside the Pool.
Refuge hunting regulations may be obtained from refuge offices, from refuge hunt kiosks, by calling the refuge Headquarters at 337-598-2216, or by downloading them from their website at http://www.fws.gov/swlarefugecomplex under the Hunt Regulations button.
