      Hope to make it down this year. Wife & I usually have time to hunt one long weekend a year. Mostly hunt Bayou Siepe area, but hunted the Moore for the first time last year.

        I found some new spots in the Moore last week. That place never ceases to amaze me.

          Am I reading it right that you can only harvest does and an unbranched buck during muzzleloader season in the moore?

            I believe that's correct.

              Hows the hunting in the areas off Hwy 87 near 6 mile? I would think crowded due to all the folks that have camps around there.

                Hey Marshman, There is some beautiful country there in the six mile area. I would say that the buck(mature) population is thin, since it is public land.The only way that I hunt the area is by still hunting large blocks of country, keeping a low profile with scent control, where I see no sign of hunters, and once I find sign of a big buck, using the knowledge of the land from 20 years of hunting it, I try to set some hunts for him. This is not easy, to say the very least!

                The one thing I do not do is hunt without at least a little knowledge of some good buck in the area, sometimes from just the previous years hunts. Hunting areas on the National Forest without this knowledge can lead to seeing no bucks the whole season.

                  This is true for the entire Forest during ML season, actually. No USFS permit required. Basically same quotas as for archery, except can't harvest a 13"+ buck during ML season.

                    thats good advice. I wish we could harvest at least one doe in the NF 9besides the doe permits on Moore Plantation). If I get a permit this year I just may hunt there exclusively

                      I went this past spring for a turkey hunt with no success, did see some deer and deer signs. I would like to make a trip over there for a hunt with out much scouting I think it may be a hard hunt, heck I have a hard enough time hunting the Sam Houston.

                            Where do you stay while your up there? Reason I'm asking is I just bought some lots in the Toledo beach area.
