Get it in .270WSM caliber and you are set.
Because of the terrain and the thick undergrowth, bow hunting is big in South Louisiana.
Save yourself a lot of time and money when you get down there.
Don't even pick up an arrow or look at a fletch, and, for sure, don't draw a bow!
Else you'll find yourself selling that recurved compound bow with sights and all the accessories to some other idiot for about half of what you've got in it when you find that the only way you're going to kill a deer with an arrow is to stab him to death.
Been there, done that.
