Duck season changes?

[cgoods17]

bottom line to all yalls arguments is that there are too many variables to think yall can come up with one way to fix the problem... duck hunting is over in louisiana.. if you want to see mass numbers of birds like the old days then you need to go up north(OK,KS). everywhere you turn there is an idiot putting in another blind 100 yds across the marsh or 2 levees over in the rice field.. another reason is we are losing so much habitat on the coast to salt water, all this hybrid rice that is now being planted.. there is just too much to take into consideration to blame for the problem... but i will say that i would like to see somethin done up north to try and help reset the migration patterns as well has making new habitat down here for the birds to feed and rest...

Louisiana kills mored ducks than ANY STATE, yes even Arkansas, Kansas, and Oklahoma!

We will always kill ducks, ducks such as gadwalls will always come down here no matter how much rice is planted in Missouri and Arkansas. You guys think ducks and you think MALLARDS. We still get plenty of mallards. We have the best duck hunting ANYWHERE. Where else can you go and shoot a limit of 6 ducks of 6 different species? We got it good, don't drink the koolaid about mallards. Those are the easiest ducks to kill, give me teal, gadwall, and pintails any day of the season. Wanna see mallards go to the park

Again, bc Louisiana has so many hunters. You can't tell me the hunting isn't better in the northern states. I'm not saying your wrong about Louisiana kilimg the most ducks, but I bet that's a grand total. I would like to see a per hunter per effort average

We have more public hunting land available than most states, especially up north. It seems crowded, but you don't know crowded til you go to Arkansas and hunt public land. For every good picture someone posts up there are hundreds of people who scratched that day. Same with fishing, you see a pic of limits and people think they can just go up and do that. Again, Louisiana KILLS more ducks than ANY STATE. How is duck hunting dead in Louisiana? We are also starting to get more whistling ducks hanging around and bw teal are staying here during the winter which is really adding to the number of ducks wintering down here. We have it GREAT. You want to kill mallards consistently go to Kansas or Oklahoma or Arkansas, but you will pay out the butt in Arkansas for prime hunting ground, fo revery good blind there are 10 'garholes'.

No need for public land to hunt on up north, permission to hunt ag fields is too easy to get. I'm not saying our hunting sucks or is dead, I'm saying it is better up north. I have friends who go to Oklahoma every year and smash ducks and geese but kill few geese here. All I'm trying to say is the hunting is better up there due to the lack of pressure.

And this is because the flyway is changing. Oklahoma is now a duck hunting state because of this, once people figure this, it will get pressured, Kansas as well. Again, you are talking MALLARDS, that is what is killed there. The odds of them getting 6 species of ducks on a hunt is nil

No I'm not talking mallards. They killed a few, but it was mostly widgeon, redheads, and greys. You would surprised at how mixed their bags were on the public land ponds. I agree the flyway and migration patters are changing

first off everybody already knows that louisiana kills more ducks cause there are 10x as many hunter here than in any other state!.. and the reason why northern states kill mallards so damn easy is because 80% of the ones they kill were born less than 6 months ago from when they kill them!!! the birdds we get down here are the same birds that been coming down for generations... and that is why we are seeing less and less is because the new offsprings are not making it and then there offsprings, offsprings arent making it...

Again talking mallards, who cares! Its a silly park duck that is the EASIEST duck to call in and kill. You said duck hunting is DEAD in Louisiana, and then say we kill more ducks than ANY STATE how is that dead? We are getting even more ducks with the whistling ducks and teal taking up the slack for the mallards

You must hunt mallards in the parks cause IMO mallards are the hardest duck to kill hands down. And thats why they are such prize to kill. I bet Phil Robertson won't agree with you. Just like someone else said they kill so many up north cause they are 6 months old.

I will disagree with you on that..........I been duck hunting since the age of 7 years old

I would say a Mallard is top 5 easiest to kill...but Black Mallard (molted duck) is the Hardest

Easiest Ducks to kill over my years of hunting are

#1 Teal
#2 Spoonbills
#3 Gray Ducks
#4 Mallards
#5 PinTail

You duck hunt like 3 times a year. What else you gonna kill besides those 5 ducks? Woodies which are easy. Widgeons which when they are around are easy. And maybe some open water ducks which are all stupid. Pintail are pretty easy to kill. We shoot 100s in Mexico. And a good bit in PI. I agree though, a mottle duck is also one of the hardest to kill.

No park, no lease. I just don't see why the love for a mallard

It makes for a cool picture to put on Facebook while holding your gun with the meat stick sticker on it lol. If I had my pick of any strap of birds, I'll take 2 wood ducks and the rest squealers

Man its all global warming's fault...it doesnt get as cold during winter so they dont have to fly as far south. If yall wouldnt all drive gas burners and jacked up diesel rigs we would have birds here. Geeez!







By the way........j/k lol lmao rofl
