The Alazan Bayou WMA has 2,063 acres located in southern Nacogdoches County. The WMA was purchased in 1991 to preserve mature bottomland hardwood forests adjacent to the Angelina River. In addition to the Angelina River other significant drainages include Loco Bayou and Moral Creek. The bottomland forest typically begins to flood during mid winter as the river and bayous overbank and inundation continues through early spring. Hunting is permitted with an Annual Public Hunting Permit (APH) and some special permit hunts may be offered. Check the Outdoor Annual and the Public Hunting Lands Maps Booklet for information on methods, species, seasons and bag limits.
Please note:
-Bring your own drinking water.
-Insect repellant is recommended for mosquitoes.
-High heat and humidity in the summer should be taken into consideration when planning a visit.
-There are no restroom facilities.
-The WMA is not wheel-chair accessible.
-Primitive camping is available.
Very good experience! Took my little girl to help me scout around and my new little lab for her first outing. Still dry this part of the year.
Went here for a lab for wildlife management at SFA. Their waterfowl management area is really cool. I have never been here recreationally, only through school. The staff was very informative of the area and it’s purpose.
A place never to be forgotten! Step-daughter first draw hunt could not have went any better. Got her first buck and 5 min. Later shot her first hog!
This is a great WMA for hunting deer, wild hog, rabbit, and squirrels. The staff here are amazingly brilliant and provide hunters education. Check the TPWD website for training courses and Mentored Hunting.
Stayed at the camping area. I loved it. It has picnic tables, Fire rings and lantern poles.
No place to gather wood so bring your own. Also bring your own water. They have a stall for horses and 12 campsites. If they had a well for water it woul be perfect. Will be going again soon.
You will need to have at least a Limited use pass to stay. Its $12 and good for a year if you buy it in August. But its good for all WMAs and National forest use.
