Before I begin to answer this question in gonna need you to do a little reading on your own. Meaux posted a map of DU projects in the state not too far back and I listed them early on.

Funny, we're killing around twice the amount of ducks we were 15 years ago. But the ducks don't migrate down anymore. You know why they killed so may ducks in "the good ole days"? They had areas to rest birds. Now with every section of the Marshes and fields leased up the birds have no choice but to raft up on large lakes and bays. They find ways to adapt to the pressure.

Well, unless Larry is lying, we had 2 million more birds in November 2014 than we had in Nov 2004. I don't know how good Larry's eye sight is, but I would assume good enough to not overestimate by 2 million.

So, yeah, there's that....
