Duck Season
 

ducks landing in oil

well last duck season sucked for everyone for the most parts so you'll prolly see alot of opening due to fed up hunters spending a bunch of money on leases and not killing much. last year was just a bad year overall

Man that would suck if they would close the season this year. Tt would not suprise me....
However, if I had a great spot, I would suck it up and pay for one year even if the season would be closed due to the spill. Usually, once you give up a lease (especailly a good one) you will likely not be able to get it back.

I think I would have a heart attack if they closed duck season b/c of spill, or go to jail!

i agree

I have cleaned and recleaned my gun 3 times just because I watch those hunting shows on tv and get excited

haha...thats 2 more times than Austin has cleaned his right?

And I still shot better

:rolleyes:

I would prolly be in jail!

I know yall didnt have a good season but over here in Texas we had an amazing season, not many geese but loads and loads of ducks let me tell ya.

you can guarantee that if its closed for fishing, its gonna be closed for hunting

I bet yall did. When I would go to my deer lease in Texas, right around Beaumont, I saw some fields everytime I passed that you couldn't have fit another duck in.

We had a decent year. It wasn't great but wasn't bad either. Bout 600

Anyone know of a opening around SWLA that i don't need to have a lawyer for a dad to pay for?

I had a descent year...me and a buddy are gonna try to lease a blind just northwest of the gueydan huntin club...if we guide it out it pays for it self first teal split but not real good or real bad for big ducks later on...

Finally getting on a lease this year......oil or not, I'm gettin on......there's a 15 year wait in vermillion, I'm not wasting it.......

Last season was good where I'm goin

Where you got in at?

Vermillion, right off intercoastal. Bout a mile from Maxis Pierce

Mow lawns this summer and save your money.......slacker

im looking for one and i have money but nobody wants to come off the info...

That aint what i meant, what i meant is, something that isn't 10,000 for a duck lease...Tim where's the best place to send off shatter glass costa's?

Same problem here.

you send em to costa in fla, they fix em there. ship em at the post office. go on their site and itll tell you everything to do and give you a shipping form to put in the box

Fla.......get on their website, and follow the directions. I sent off 2 pair 3 weeks ago and haven't heard anything from them yet........Josh, they're gonna be here soon......

there not mine...a carpentar that is building our boat house asked me where to ship them, and i told him i'll find out...thanks!

10g's !!??? Mine is 2800 split 6 ways.......you gotta b nuts to spend 10gs!!!!

you'd be surprised....Go hunt at whitelake with catdaddy it cost a pretty penny to hunt there

so you takin me hunting this year right?

Do they taste better when you spend that much?? They better be full of golden eggs or somethin. ......

how many acres for $2,800

Duck hunting is not cheap. I was able to pick up a new lease a little South of where I have been hunting in Kaplan. Price went from 4K to 5K. We split it three ways and it is a rice field blind. Park your truck and walk 1/4 of a mile and you are in the pit blind. In general, you will kill more ducks in a good marsh lease but you will need a mud boat or a surface drive in most situations. On a positive note, the lease price per acre or section is a lot less but hard to get into the lease. To get into a lease in Pecan Island thru Vermillion Corp, for the most part you have to sub lease from someone. I know the last 2 sections to came open were bid thru an auction and went for 3 to 4 times the going price.

We pay $5k for 320 acres in PI.

money is not the problem, it's just getting your hands on it. Took me years of begging to finally get one of my busdies' dad to sublease me some of his prop.

exactly....Little burns behind my house, one FRIGGIN guy, has 500 acres leased out, in my BACKYARD. He hunts one blind, maybe 10 times a season. like, DUDE let me lease 150 acres and i'd be cool with it!! Heck even 10 acres to put a blind and i'd be happy

that's how some ppl are. My uncle and cousin have a good goose blind in whiteville. They never hunt it but maybe once a week and that's pushing it. I tried to get them to let me get in it with them but they won't b/c they know I'll be smoking them specks every morning!

You don't have to spend big $$ but it sure helps some years. Partner in our lease also has 400 acres in PI he is shelling out $25,000 for and started hunting with us on our $3,200 lease because there were not enough birds in PI. We did not start killing until the second split but we did pretty good for what we had to hunt on.:smokin:
Big problem with people is they will try to "Snake" you on your lease if they can, not everyone but some. Invitations to hunt on our property are few and far between if you are not in the "LOOP" for this reason.

I got in the lease we have 950 acers and it will be 1500 per person with 10 people in it. They have 5 pit blinds and you can make a brush blind as long as it is 250 yards from another blind. If for some reason they dont have the ducks I can always go back to hunting public land where they always kill

Contact Apache, they lease out most of the blinds in 4 mile square, just South of Sabine Refuge. Blinds are 1,800.
