What's the #?
 

How many ducks does it take for you to kill out of a single blind or lease (section) to consider it a banner season? My personal opinion is 20 ducks per 60 day season but as we all know opinions vary. What's the minimun # KIA that will keep you spending lease $$$? Just to keep it interesting, don't include any trash ducks: spoons, dos gris, coots or mergansers.

You have much more patience than men. Good for you not judging a successful season in straight numbers but personally I need to kill to keep me interested.

20 whole season? Or per hunt?

We killed about 120 good ducks out my blind this year and it was the slowest i think its ever been for me if i would have to lease idt i would have spent the money to lease again imo

We killed 665 off the farm I hunt 2 blinds

He's talking about a 1200 bird year

If all I'm killin is trash ducks it's not worth it to me. Can kill good ducks for free on public land. We killed 353 hunting weekends this year. Counting specks also most ducks were killed on public land. And hopefully adding 30 or so specks in the next couple weekends. Also depends on how much said blind costs lol

Figure most blinds are $5,000-$6,000 per season, sections are $15-$50 acre if you can get one or more.

Yea. I been looking for my own place to goose hunt. But no way am I paying money to kill ducks. I can justify a goose blind with specks but I can't justify a duck blind when I can kill em for free.

I can't really answer the original question but 28 for the year and I'm out.

i paid for a whole section this year and i dont know final tally but my 5 year old grand son killed his first teal and shot second out the sky so i say it was worth it.we had a good run with greys and pintail no mallards and finshed season with what people call trash ducks but i rather shoot trash then not fire a shot.

Counting teal season...130 kia we shot around 450 - 475 out of my blind..not counting the divers and spoons in which we try not to shoot unless there is nothing else flying. Hell I bet the last week we could of shot 100 plus divers with all the water we had. Matter of fact going pay a partial $ amount for the 2013 season in a few weeks to secure my same blind again. Most landowners like to get paid as early as possible. Also, you have to factor in is how easy it is to hunt your lease in regards to cost / killing. I walk about 100 yards and I am in the blind. Our blind is over 6k but we split it 4 ways. All the guys but me work offshore so we only had 1 day out of the year all 4 of us hunted together. In turn, I get to game hog it a lot...:D

That's what I'm talking about

The neighbors don't like it, but I shoot all the birds I want in my back yard.

killed around 425 hunting pretty much only weekends ... private lease in Pecan Island 2 blinds .... it was an ok season we have killed 700-800 ducks in a season before but I'm a die-hard so even if I ain't killing I still hunt ... been hunting the same area for about 6 years now and it changes every year

What the duck!!! That's a lot of birds! I have to get into that!

We killed 585 this season out of 2 binds. Weeked warior. I have been hunting same blind/lease for 29 years wil never give it up u can't find any place to hunt/lease any more.

I killed hardly an ducks this year on family land. Enough geese to keep me happy. If I had a lease I'd be out of the OP's lease.

You guys really need to be careful putting out duck totals on land that is leased. People will scoop it up right out from under you:redface:

If you do t own it, it's not forever. 05-07 was unreal on that lease but land management changed hands and cattle became more important than ducks but they didn't decrease the $27,000 annual fee. That place is only good for a couple 100 ducks a season now.
