It's simple no food no ducks/geese. Another example helms road south of lake charles again in the 90's that i can remember if you had a blind down this road you had a top notch blind. You could drive down that road and see thousands of waterfowl now when you past you don't even see a duck/goose down that whole road due to the lack of farming.

Venice and Wax Lake had BANNER years this year due to the drought. Ducks move, they can fly, they go where there is food and water. Natural food, waterfowl have come down here for thousands of years when there was not one rice field. They adapt, some may stay up north annd get fat on rice in Arkansas, but we still get the Lions' Share
You got it good, don't start talking bout the 'good old days' they are here right now, you are living em
