The High Water Benchmark Closure would close deer hunting in portions of Iberia, Iberville, St. Martin and St. Mary parishes when the flood gauge reaches 18 feet at Butte LaRose. That benchmark water level is expected to be reached either Friday or Saturday.

The area encompasses parishes south of I-10, west of the East Guide Levee, east of the West Guide Levee and north of U.S. 90.
