Range and Roost — hunting land in Louisiana and Mississippi.

The work is done. Yours to hunt.

Louisiana and Mississippi hunting land development.

What we do

Raw acreage to turnkey property.

Range and Roost buys quiet, unimproved land in south and central Louisiana and southwest Mississippi, then puts in the months of work between an empty woodlot and a hunting property that’s ready the day you take the keys. Trails cut. Stands sited. Feeders placed. Food plots planted to the right mix. By the time it changes hands, it’s fully ready to hunt.

Our work

Five moves between raw land and a hunt-ready tract.

01

Site selection

Tracts chosen for what they can become — soil, water, timber, ridge, bottom, and access. Aerial, topographic, and on-foot survey before the deed is signed. We look past how the land shows raw.

Most run 50 to 200 acres. That’s room for the game to bed and feed, and for multiple stand setups across different winds and conditions. A few hunters can be out at once without pressuring the property. The acreage stays manageable — easy to keep up year to year. Many qualify for favorable tax treatment as forestry investments.

Typical ground: the Feliciana parishes, St. Helena, East Baton Rouge, and Tangipahoa in Louisiana; Amite, Wilkinson, and Pike counties in Mississippi.

02

Trail implementation

Cut and graded to reach every stand in any weather. Routed for wind, light, and a quiet approach to the right places — and laid out so a side-by-side gets through without scraping a tree.

03

Food plots & habitat

Cool-season clover and winter wheat blends — green forage through the months your native browse goes dormant. Edge habitat thinned. Mast-bearing oaks identified, marked, and protected.

04

Stand & feeder placement

Insulated box blinds set on the lines deer actually walk — and on the corners birds actually use. Wind, light, range, and shot lane considered for every site. Feeders set to the season they’re feeding.

05

Survey & layout

Every trail, stand, plot, feeder, and creek crossing walked, mapped in onX, and marked discreetly in the field.

On day one a new owner — or a guest who has never set foot on the ground — opens the app and knows the property: where everything is, how to reach it, and what to expect in the next section.

The land

Two great forests of the Gulf South.

Mature longleaf pine stand, Louisiana

Pine country

Loblolly and longleaf stands shape the upland tracts. Open enough to walk, thick enough to hold a buck. The understory is where the spring tom roosts and the autumn rut runs.

Hardwood bottom in late winter, Kisatchie National Forest

Hardwood bottoms

Oaks, hickories, sweetgum, and cypress along the creeks. The acorn drop sets the rut clock; the standing water in the timber is where the wood ducks come in at last light.

The game

Three seasons, one property.

Whitetail

November · January rut

Gulf South bucks peak the second and third week of January. Tracts managed for age class — three-and-a-half-plus on the harvest list — and walked all year for sign.

Wild turkey

March · April · spring season

Eastern toms across the pine ridges and creek bottoms. Properties left undisturbed through the winter so birds are well-fed and roosting where they roosted last year.

Wood ducks

November · January season

Wood ducks year-round on the timbered water. The work is finding the natural sloughs and brakes a tract holds, then preserving them — open underneath, undisturbed overhead, quiet enough that birds come back to the same cypress year on year.

Who we serve

All the work between raw land and a place worth waking up for — done. Trails cut, plots planted, stands sited, feeders set, the whole property mapped. Yours to hunt, not to build.
