The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) will intermittently close the shooting range at Bodcau Wildlife Management Area (WMA) beginning Feb. 1, 2017, for facility improvements. Range users are advised to call 318-326-3225 to verify the facility will be open prior to traveling to the site.
 
LDWF will notify the public once construction is complete.
 
Bodcau WMA is located in Bossier and Webster parishes, approximately 30 miles northeast of Shreveport. The shooting range provides for rifle and handgun target shooting at 25, 50, 100, and 200 yards. A shotgun range offers manual target throwers and an archery range provides stationary field targets.
 
The range facility is located at 168 Ben Durden Road, Haughton La., within the WMA.
 
Normal range hours are 7:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and there are no fees charged for range use.
