This guy^^^^^^^

I knew I would catch hell for that. But really, I would rather see all these lil knot heads duck hunting than doing God knows what instead. Everyone talks about how they want to involve more people in hunting, then complain when more folks get involved.

Anyway it's going to be a hard year for us. The El Niño crap is back and it's going to stay warm to the north.

Too much water in northern TX, OK, and eastern Arkansas that hasn't been there the last few years. Unless it gets really cold, I don't think we'll see quite the numbers we did last year.

Sabine used to be known as the "Boudin 500". Gentlemen, start your engines! Rule of thump was always keep hand/fingers off the sides of the boat. It was a bumper boat derby all the way to the humpback bridge.

Sabine's not as bad but you want a reliable boat that will do 30+ mph, if not you will be passed every couple minutes in the canal making it a little nerve racking.

Or you can leave a little later after the rush and boom scout your way to a limit.

Starting a new thread - Public land pics. I know some of them will be pre-Duck Dynasty but just to show that there are some good opportunities

I am in my 30th year chasing the elusive unpredictable waterfowl............and I remember vividly talking about this almost...........well.............every damn year.

when we went from 30 and 3 to what we have now every vice president of muckity muck LLC went out and bought a Benelli and became a hunter.

I also think the surface drive/large horsepower long tail factors in.............when you see guys talk more about how fast their boat is with (insert motor here) than how the birds worked, the dogs retreived and kids shot, then we have lost the sport.

but there will always be those of us, sitting on a river bank chooting a wooduck if we can

these 'outfitters' sprouting up all over the place is IMO the biggest reason why leases are so hard to find.

I agree with alot said.. Mostly who U hunt with... I used to hunt with a small guiding service..

Mostly specks.. I started inviting friends I work with to come.. Mostly peps would have other duck leases..

Well most of my so called friends started booking hunts with guide.. Not even invite me... When they have other places to hunt. An this was my only source for hunting.

Now he's booked well in advanced. So insteas of hunting 4-5 hunts. I get maybe one hunt..

If oil stays a record lows, U will see prices go down a little... In my humble opinion.

But it's a rich mans sport.

3 yrs ago; me an 3 others bid on school section that was going for 7,500. We bid 15,000.

We were not in top 2.. Winning was 34K.. Go figure. The winner was the guy who had lease last 5 yrs.

One of hIs own partner's bid 30K against him.. This was all sealed bids. We handed delivered our bid the night of the openings.

Can U say back stabber...
