I mean since you know so much!

Well since you are all about the federal regulation, the federal government can do a lot of things these days.

I didnt say I had a solution. I merely recognized the problem. But, being the internet federal manager you are, I am sure you could do something about it. You know the AHM handbook inside and out.



Take a step back for a second. All I said was harvest management needs to improve IF there are to be increasing populations of ducks and geese down here. I also said that habitat manipulation to the north IS a main cause of declining populations reaching the coast. No where did I say I was going to enforce it, or anything of that nature.

I do not feel like doing my research with numbers and graph. I don't want to make you look bad. Call me out again for making an observation and something I spent 2 semesters on and Ill gladly do so. Tawn haus bawl eyel be dere want sum com git sum.

Harvest management needs to improve to the states north of us. I am not a duck hunter, but have learned about harvest management.

I will consult Neo on the AHM matrix. You should have taken the blue pill.

so you don't know what you're talking about. I thought so. You should've armed yourself with a tad of knowledge before you jumped with both feet.

P.s. I find it very difficult to try and have a grown up conversation with someone that talks like this.

bottom line to all yalls arguments is that there are too many variables to think yall can come up with one way to fix the problem... Duck hunting is over in louisiana.. If you want to see mass numbers of birds like the old days then you need to go up north(ok,ks). Everywhere you turn there is an idiot putting in another blind 100 yds across the marsh or 2 levees over in the rice field.. Another reason is we are losing so much habitat on the coast to salt water, all this hybrid rice that is now being planted.. There is just too much to take into consideration to blame for the problem... But i will say that i would like to see somethin done up north to try and help reset the migration patterns as well has making new habitat down here for the birds to feed and rest...

the bird numbers are high, and every year is " a record hatch".. so the birds are sustaining good numbers... there are just not good numbers making it down here!
