Duck Lease

[bmacha]

This apparently is an ongoing thing for a lot of hunters. Its said to know that you there is no loyalty, its all about the almighty dollar. I am afraid my kids won't be offered the same opportunities I was a kid and that's just depressing.

Land owners/big money yuppy hunters have driven prices up for years. Now it looks like crawfish farming is taking over. When I was a teen it wasn't uncommon to just drive up to a farm house and ask permission to hunt. When that went away I moved to the refuges. Now with all the people losing leases and duck dynasty glamorizing the sport the refuges have been taken over with idiots. For the most part I'll go shoot a few woodies on the river now. I say turn the refuges into low cost lottery hunts with strict guidelines and crowd control. This would eliminate the overcrowding, sky busting morons along with all the underage kids with zero etiquette and make for a better overall hunting experience. Sorry kinda went on a rant there.

Can't do that, who wants to show up to hunt and not be drawn? Public is public, work hard enough and you'll kill em. People don't realize how good some of the public land hunting in LA is.

Agree. Some of the best hunts I've ever been on were on public land here in LA. (not just Lac & Sabine either)
