Was waiting for someone to catch that.

I dont know where yall hunting at in these rice fields with no ducks but the rice fields i hunt in in lake arthur an welsh sure do have alot of birds we might not limit out every morning but we kill aleast 12 to 14 ducks an our limit of specks every day the past 3 to 4 years we killed more birds in the rice fields then we did in the marsh an have pictures to prove it

I was waiting for that too lol... But I'm looking for an upgrade if anybody has something closer to my house shoot me a PM

i hunted north of Natchez last year and i barely saw any ducks. saw more ducks south of i-10

Hey st amant! Come see some of the eastsiders!

And you have probably been having that lease for 10+ years as well. There are some very good rice field blinds in south LA, just very hard to come across now a days.

X2, I know guy that has lease and he is able to water buffalo his cut at least once every two weeks during the season. This makes a big difference. However, the marsh is overall better day in and day out than rice fields.

I am a strong believer in true 'flyway' patterns of ducks. I have hunted in private rice field blinds that are truly amazing in the numbers of birds that they produce and then in leased fields that just don't seem to come close to that production over those same periods.

In general, I am sure the rice fields that do not have a blind every 100 acres (which most do if leasing) are better than ones that have a blind every 500 acres. That is the difference between leasing land vs private land.

the thing with people leaseing blinds is they over hunt them an they sky bust birds you cant hunt a blind twice a day every day of the hunting season an expect the birds to stay there if you are a avid waterfowl hunter you would know that the birds sence pressure an when they start feeling pressure they move you just have to know how much you can hunt the same blind in one year. An another thing is you have to change your decoy spread up take your goose decoys out the field everyday when your done hunting move the duck decoys around three four times a years give the birds something diffrent to look at i guide an if i hunted the blind are left the decoys the same all year i wouldnt kill half the birds i do

just go look at my pics on here an see

Take some pictures of your decoy setups.


This thread can't die!

Just wondering if any of you avid duck hunters have ever put a trail camera out over your decoy spread?

Yea but all my pics showed they were feeding at night. :D

Lilrab stay out of my holes.

@calcutta37 you just wish you could hunt with me lol
