The Atchafalaya basin is a haven for wildlife until the water comes up. Like wise the Saline swamp just east of my house. When the water comes up in the Saline/Catahoula swamps the deer and hogs flood the highlands at the edges and go back when the water subsides.
Below, a video of deer escaping the Atchafalaya basin. These four got lucky, they found a way out.
All the folks who have hunting camps in the basin might have a hard time finding deer to hunt this year.
Yep, thing they will not see much, but the ones 5-10 miles in will be beating them off with a stick...
