Cane everywhere and what was once duck ponds have pretty much closed up to grass land. I think these weirs need to be opened back up also. They are killing what was once prime duck hunting land with these damn weirs. Just my 2 cents

What kind of time frame are we talking about here? I mean are you talking about 30 or 40 years ago?

Historically, that area was probably not near as open as it is now. Most of the openings are due to hurricanes, salt stress, high water events, etc.

Careful, you are contradicting Waltrip's whole argument that the weirs are for duck management.
