Do they do an estimate on the number of specks or geese killed like they do with ducks? I'd be interested in that number. And how do they do the assessment to determine the numbers were down in the first place? I'd imagine the margin for error is pretty high.

The number of specks aren't down. The commission just doesn't care about scientific data or what the public desires.

Just wanted to throw this back up here, in case anyone has forgotten what this thread was about. If you don't like DU, that's fine. If you've never checked out DU, give it a try. This is a college chapter, these guys are trying to bring in funds to start doing things around the area. At the least, you get some beers and jambalaya out of it.

The number of people I know that go to canada yearly is unreal, and on their worst hunts, I bet they kill more than 60% of hunters in LA kill total for whole year. Common sense says something ain't right here.

There are more people in Baton Rouge than there are in Saskatchewan.

Somewhat irrelevant. Locals probably don't make up the majority of hunters up there. There are a ridiculous number of outfitters in Canada catering to people from all over the world. Why do you think so many people go to Canada? They go because the hunting is unreal and it's almost guaranteed good hunts.

Just like in Canada. I bet success rate in Canada is much higher, plus their limits are higher. I don't know any American's who have been contacted by Canadian WLF or whatever they have up there and asked how many birds they killed on their hunts up there.

Everything is basically public as long as landowner gives permission.

im pretty sure you can drive up to canada right now and pretty much pick out any field you want to set up in and not have an issue with hunting it.

i have some buddies in ND right now as we speak doing just that. driving around, finding birds, and knocking on doors getting permission. im sure they are enticing the land owner with louisiana seafood, but from my understanding, any land up there is pretty much free range... that being said, im sure that will change as more and more people keep doing this. but for now, what i am hearing is that is pretty much a free for all.

No such thing as new gangster rap! It died in a drive by at the turn of the century while sippin' on gin and juice.

Waiting on an answer.

Yall do realize Smalls posted a list of aerial survey numbers for the months of sept, nov, dec, and jan from the year 2004-2014 on here. The january estimates of total ducks range from about 1.8 mil - 3 mil.

On this same thread, we have fools posting some made up list saying we kill 2.3 million ducks in one year. That's pretty wild, guess we are pretty good hunters, we don't leave any left to head back north and make more babies.
