From the mixed pine/hardwood rolling hills to bottomland hardwoods near
river beds, from flood plains and deltas to cypress swamps, wildlife
habitats in Louisiana are both rich and varied. Statewide, hunters take
more than 150,000 whitetail deer per year as well as abundant small
game. Louisiana's coastal zone has 4 million acres of waterfowl-rich
marshlands which support unrivaled populations of migratory birds. The
flatlands north of the marshlands also offer outstanding goose hunting.
In addition, quail, dove, teal, rail, gallinule, turkey, snipe and woodcock
are all plentiful. All told there's an eight-month hunting season: it
begins with dove in early September and goes right through to turkey
in April.
Fishermen beware: fishing in Louisiana is more than a pastime. It's
a passion, a way of life. The Gulf of Mexico and its brackish-water
coastal marsh regions have made Louisiana the nation's top source of
shrimp, blue crab, oysters and other seafoods, and you'll enjoy passing
the colorful shrimp boats as you head out for another fishing adventure
around the oil rigs that dot the Gulf. By trolling around the rigs or
anchoring for some casting, you'll find yourself bringing in brag-size
tarpon, cobia, snapper, yellowfin tuna, Spanish and king mackerel, sailfish,
blue marlin, wahoo and even pompano. If you don't have a boat, relax.
Charters are available all across the coast, and there are piers, wharves,
bridges and jetties that give you easy access to spotted sea trout,
redfish and many of the same species that are caught farther out. When
you're ready for freshwater fishing, your choices are varied and exciting:
the Atchafalaya Basin, Toledo Bend Reservoir, numerous "oxbow lakes"
like False River and Lake Bruin near the Mississippi; and scenic, swampy
backwater lakes like Lake Bistineau and Black Lake. Teeming with fish
and shaded with moss-draped cypress, these swamps and lakes offer easy
access and great action. Fishing guide services are available in some
freshwater marsh areas, bayous and inland lakes, Toledo Bend and other
lakes around the state.
Mardi Gras is our most famous celebration, a statewide party unrivaled
anywhere in this country. The Mardi Gras season begins on January 6
the Twelfth Night Feast of the Epiphany and ends on "Fat Tuesday" (Mardi
Gras day), which is always set to occur 46 days before Easter. But Mardi
Gras is only one of our big festivals. In spring, you'll celebrate the
pirate Jean Lafitte and the state's link to international French cultures.
In summer, many towns and cities in South Louisiana celebrate Bastille
Day, commemorating the beginning of the French Revolution. Fishing rodeos
are another mainstay of the summer celebration calendar.
