One is DU projects the other is Flyway changes. Notice the large vacant spaces missing red dots in south Louisiana. |

I was gonna jump into this but Smalls has already said everything I was thinking in a more eloquent way than I wouldve put it.

I get it, everyone has their opinion. I respect Smalls decision to support DU. I used to support DU, I dont anymore, based on things I have discovered. If smalls and all the other DU supporters want to support DU then let them. I have no issue with that. But I just want to let people know of the things most dont know about. Call LDWF and ask them for the Hunting census' for the last 5 years, and see what the count has been. Most people would be shocked to see how far the drop in killed birds has been. This is for a reason, and Im just relaying the info. |

Ok. Have I argued they aren't putting in projects? No. Quite the contrary. "One is flyway changes" What?!?! What are you talking about one is "flyway changes"? Both of those clearly show the same thing! I see quite a lot of red dots in Louisiana, by the way. But I guess since the large one doesn't include a legend, you can claim it shows what ever you want. Clever old boy, clever. And a lot of Vacant space in Missouri, which you earlier claimed was one place DU was spending lots of OUR money. Looks like most of the money is focused along the Mississippi River, with a very large amount in both Arkansas and Louisiana. Would it make a difference to you if I pointed out that Arkansas kicks our *** in rice production every year? And that many claim the reason for the decreased duck numbers in SWLA is the lack of rice production? I've heard that argument made many times. Does it make a difference that Arkansas had nearly 3.5 times the rice acreage that Louisiana did in 2014? It seems to me that people want to blame DU when landscape changes far from DU's control are more likely the cause of "decreased" duck numbers in Louisiana. Are our wetland conditions not worse today than they were 20 years ago? Are our crop productions not worse today than they were 20 years ago? Are our hunter numbers not higher today than they were 20 years ago? More pressure, less habitat in the south; More habitat in the north. And people wonder why there aren't as many ducks down here.

SMALLS,,
Seriously, the map shift shows the drop in population in SOUTH SOUTH SOUTH SOUTH Louisiana. 10-15 years ago, that map would have been solid Red across the Coastal and I-10 corridor. 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. |

Funny, just found your map right here. It is, in fact, a map of the projects in the Mississippi Flyway.

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

Your basing your opinion on voluntary harvest data sent by hunters? It's difficult or impossible arguing with a person who lacks the ability to interpret data and the value or validity it contains. And that my friends is why this debate will never change. And a shout out to Dr. Billy Delany for teaching us to use critical thinking. |

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 ) |

You guys are a-holes.. again... lol I'd say the guy has improved big time from the double handed wench https://youtu.be/HKWVMn9pw-M And as far as the DU / Delta thing. I support both as much as possible. Makes my conscience feel a little better after a good Spoon raping... |

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. |

[QUOTE=AubreyLaHaye458;777164]Louisiana kills more ducks than Arkansas.
http://www.flyways.us/sites/default/..._estimates.pdf 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 |
