One of the most popular outdoor activities in the fall involves being alone in the woods. Hunting is an extremely popular hobby and some are even competitive with their craft. Lafayette, Louisiana, surprisingly offers some great hunting spots, including areas where there are deer, turkey, duck, and quail.
Pass A Loutre Wildlife Management Area
This area is accessible only by boat and there are numerous marshes, nooks, and crannies that wildlife can hide in. That makes it an ideal spot for duck hunting.
