River Bend Sportsman's Club

River Bend Sportsman's Club operates as a member-run hunting club on private lease land in Louisiana. As a Tier 1 DMAP property, members hunt under a managed deer program that issues separate buck and antlerless tags—deer killed on the lease don't count against your LDWF Big Game License tags or the 6-deer limit on non-DMAP properties.

The club maintains: - Member waiting list (limited availability) - Annual work hour requirements or $100 fee (due by September 30) - Dedicated stand assignments (4 stands per member maximum) - Pin-in log system for hunter location tracking

Buck restrictions are enforced: 1st buck requires 14" inside spread OR 16" main beam; 2nd buck requires 14" inside spread OR 19" main beam. Violations result in $100 fines.

Members are allowed: - Maximum 2 bucks and 2 does per season - Archery season: October 1-15 (bucks only), October 16-February 15 (either-sex) - All deer must be tagged immediately upon recovery
