The map on the Left is DU projects, the map on the Right is DUCK POPULATIONS in the FLYWAY. The right map is not DU PROJECTS>


But for the sake of arguing. We get it, you support DU. Great Job. Keep supporting them.


Many of us do not, and that's our choice. You have your reason why, and we have our reason why.


But at the end of the day, the DUCK populations in South La have fallen.

Link to the map then, because from what I'm looking at, it is the exact same as the one to the left, but shows the entire mississippi flyway. How you can argue any different, I don't understand.

IT DOES LOOK THE SAME> ABSOLUTEY.


THAT IS THE POINT> The DIRECT reflection of DU projects in Arkansas and Missouri (Along the Mississippi River as you say) shows a direct impact on the FLYWAY and where the birds migrate.


That's been my whole point.

You clearly have something loose in your head. The map is the same, and does not make any assumptions about the migration.

YOU are making assumptions about the figure and its relation to the migration.

If the figure relates to migration, then how many ducks does each of those dots equal?

ARKANSAS.

You're bent, plain and simple. You can tell, without a doubt, that the most parts are taking place in Arkansas?

Care to weigh in on my point regarding rice production? Or habitat loss? Or do those points just work against your agenda?

Smalls,

First, lets not go there with LOOSE in my head. Its obvious your passionate about your opinion, but does not require attacks, because believe me, Im not the guy you want to go there with.

Now, with all the conversation we have been having , you again, repeated what I stated earlier with RICE IN ARKANSAS. I said the same thing several threads ago.

20 years ago, ARKANSAS was not a large rice producing state. NOW THEY ARE. hmm, ducks eat rice.

SO now, you have three factors now wrapped around the Arkansas factor.

1. Increase in Rice production
2. Increase in DU projects
3. Increase in water habitat (Rice ponds, DU projects )

Louisiana kills more ducks than Arkansas.

Hey Aubrey,

Please show me where I said ARKANSAS Kills more than LOUISIANA.

I have been making the same point the WHOLE Time.

Louisiana Duck populations, MAINLY BIG DUCKS. have declined, because of the changes in ARKANSAS. Never said ARKANSAS kills more ducks

PLUS SMALLS,

Your 26 years old. Your not old enough to have seen the years past in the hunting populations.

Lets do the math, your 26, which means you been hunting maybe a total of 12 years.

Do you remember the hay days when Gueydan LA was the duck capital

Do you remember the Points system, and when LDWF had to drop the limits to 3 birds

NOPE, too young.

But Hey, we are so glad you support DU. Keep up the good work.

What does age have to do with anything in this thread? Nothing. Quite a tactic, really. Point to a person's age to try and discount their voice. Were you alive to know ducks have migrated the same way for thousands of years? You're not old enough to know how ducks migrated 1000 years ago. So quit trying to divert attention from the fact that you are inaccurately using figures to push a viewpoint.

Funny thing about documents and all, you don't have to have been alive to know about things. I have read about the points system. I am familiar, through talking with old timers, what duck hunting was like.
I did see your earlier post about the rice. it was also the first post in which you referenced the "federal grants", something you have still failed to provide any documentation on (I'd still like to read about that, by the way). But, this is not surprising, considering you posted a map of DU projects and tried to pass it off as a migration map.

But let's be honest here, I don't care who you are, what you do, or how old you are. You've made it blatantly clear in just a few posts that you will say anything and use anything to paint DU in a bad light. And yet again, as so many others have tried and failed, you have failed at providing me with any compelling evidence as to why DU is to blame for the duck hunting situation in Louisiana.
