Squeeze

Louisiana winters the largest concentration of migrating waterfowl in America. As the Mississippi Flyway meets the Arkansas/Louisiana border it narrows down to only a mile wide bottleneck where seventy percent of all the migrating waterfowl in the flyway will pass.This has been called the ”Throat” of the flyway or the “Wine Bottle”. However it’s described, it is some of the best waterfowl hunting anywhere. Just imagine if you had a hunting lodge right in the middle of it. Well, you don’t have to imagine, we have 1,400 acres of flooded rice fields and over 5,000 acres of dry fields, rice, wheat and beans sitting in the middle of “The Wine Bottle”. Johnny has owned and operated this lodge since 1979. As an experienced guide, he has amazed countless hunters dating back to his teenage years.

After the hunt, guests might have to shoo a turkey or a kitten off the yard swing before taking a seat, but it doesn't get much better than this. They soon realize coming to this lodge is akin to visiting a homey country farm. Wandering around are a couple curious cats, several impressive turkeys raised from babies, a few crowing roosters and a clutch of cackling hens. There are some fascinating fleet-footed guineas interspersed with a couple quacking ducks.

Over the years, Johnny has found that some hunters like to stay up late, others turn in early. Because everyone has their specific habits and needs, Johnny arranges hunts in intimate parties of four or more. This way, no one has to share the lodge with strangers.

At the end of the day, guests can unwind sitting around a crackling fire in the Texas fire pit, soak lazily in the six-person hot tub, or while away the evening hours playing in the super-size game room and bar. Here they can indulge in playing pool, foosball, slot machines or just kick back and thumb through multiple photograph albums of past hunts and spectacular sunrises. Another option is relaxing in front of the 65-inch big screen TV with surround sound.

"Most hunters take their ducks and geese home with them after a hunt,'" said Johnny. "We have a great place to clean birds with cleaning machines or next door is the local duck plucker if you want someone else to clean them for you."

Simply put, once you experience this lodge, you may never want to hunt anywhere else.
