Come in and kick back. You'll find your time at Slackwater Farms renewing and refreshing. So have fun, enjoy the simple pleasures and mostly... Make yourself at home - behind the gate.

In early 1985 I was hunting with a friend of mine in north Morehouse Parish. At the time it was owned by Metropolitan Life Insurance Co and was in very rundown shape, but had an extremely large population of ducks. Over the next 3 years my friend and I developed part of the farm into an exceptional duck hunting spot. (Our original blind is still the most productive on the farm). In 1990, Met Life sold us the land and Slackwater Farms was born. Slackwater Farms is a true duel purpose farm: Active commercial grain farm and hunting venue. Equal emphasis is placed on farming and habitat restoration and improvement for game species.

LAND SISE

The farm consists of 1428 acres owned and 145 acres leased, for a total of 1573 acres. Composed of 670 acres agriculture, 580 acres young oak, cypress, green ash, and other native trees, 220 acres low water areas and 103 acres of bayous, irrigation canals, roads, levees, and food plots.

Although Slackwater Farms is mainly a duck hunting facility, other animals include deer, raccoon, rabbit and many additional types of fowl. There are eight pit blinds, two above ground blinds and several willow ponds and natural low water areas to hunt.

HUNTING

Situated in the heart of the Mississippi flyway, large populations of many duck species pass through our farm. Common ducks include: Mallards, Gadwall, Pintail, Blue and Green wing Teal, Northern Shoveler, and Widgeon, White fronted, Blue and Snow geese, Dove, Snipe, Rail, and pin raised quail. There are eight pit blinds, two above ground blinds and several willow ponds and natural low water areas to hunt. All are well maintained and equipped with decoys, dog boxes and storage areas. Additional hunts of white tail deer, rabbit or raccoon may be either prearranged or added on site. See Links page for season dates.

TYPICAL DAY

Guest arrives at Slackwater in the afternoon, move in their respective lodge and get settled in. The bar is open and everyone gets acquainted with their guides and the hunting area. Dinner is served at 7PM and everyone settles in for the night. Hunters wake around 5AM for breakfast. Guides will divide the group according to blind capacity; discuss current hunting conditions and recent duck populations and movements. Hunting times are from 30 minutes before sunrise until noon. We normally do not hunt in the afternoons because ducks need to repopulate the farm. We return to the lodge for lunch, ducks are cleaned and packaged, and the afternoon is planned.
