no DB, the obsession with ducks drives this talk... your right a duck is a duck.. but for us in the south, we dont get mallards, and that is the first duck that people think about when you think about hunting... i mean i was brought up hunting all my damn life and there are only a handful of places down here where you can consistently kill MALLARDS..

I wouldn't mind seeing that. I like seeing older duck hunting pictures, even if it's just from the 90s

I hunted on the plant once this year, I wanna say the blind was called ridge 4. We killed a limit of grey ducks and a few geese. If the water wouldn't have been there we could have killed an easy limit of geese, but we wouldn't have shot any ducks. They wanted in that flooded cut that day, we didn't have a duck decoy one

FACT: You can argue this til you are blue in the face (provide visual graphs derived from scientific data collection) and not one mind will be changed, especially a duck hunters mind:) Duck hunters are worse than deer hunters when it comes to people thinking they know everything (although this race is close with all the 7 year olds that can age deer by the jawbone and tell the age of a deer on the hoof):D

If they declined drastically 30 days is fine I don't care. Pretty sure we are gonna end up with a 60 day season again. Guess I should have never brought it up.

The population of facepaintin, skybustin, sticker stickin, flappy duck, kazoo playin fools is out of control right now. A 30/3 season will send them back to the golf course.
