I agree with McCheese. The ducks just aren't making it down here like they use to, mallards especially. These guys in OK and KS are shooting limits of greenheads ONLY, everyday. More than 2-3 mallards for me on a hunt doesn't happen very often. We used to hammer the mallards in PI 7-8 years ago. But our hunting pressure also has alot to do with it. Everyone duck hunts. There isnt a mass of water that a duck could think about going to that someone doesn't hunt down here. Nothing we can do about it. Our property owners were considering doubling the price per acre on my lease in PI cause they know people will pay it. Luckily they aren't. Some older guys I know that stay in camp next door to me paid $38,500 this past season for 500 acres. People like that are why it's so hard to find a good spot nowadays.
