    If its public, it will be either on the LDWF or the US Fish and Wildlife sites.

    If its close, easy, and worth going to, chances are its private. If there are no posted signs, it could be illegal to hunt the area ala the powerline ROWs on I-10 between NOLA and BR.

    I have no idea if Henderson if public or private or what you need to do to hunt ducks there. My grandfather told me that when he hunted there as a young man (1920's) there were loads of ducks there. Nots sure why but there aren't many ducks there now

    North of I-10 is public but most spots (where the blinds are) have been hunted by the same people forever and new blinds tend to burn down.

    That was a joke. Can't think of many worse ideas than that.
