Damn man. I was pumped up to get out to my lease this weekend after that cold spell. Looks like it'll be a waste of time.

I hunted my blind at Pecan Island this morning. I missed one BW teal. Has not been hunted in a week. I picked up my decoys and boat and will not return this season unless a major change occurs. That makes 2 teal in 3 hunts. After a week of hard freezes, no birds. I am at a complete and total loss as to why.

I?m so fed up with duck hunting right now, I?m scared to go. If I went up there and didn?t smash them I would probably sell all my stuff and give it up!

If you believe the state duck count then they ARE in Louisiana. If they are here then the hunting pressure has them rafted up in the reserves/preserves and big bodies of water where they feel safe. Years ago Phil Robertson said something to the effect that if we don?t allow lottery or youth hunts on reserves/preserves 3 days per week we will ruin our hunting. Looks like he was right. I think 75% of our problem is hunting pressure.

Phil has a thousand acres flooded. I wonder if he practices what he preaches and only hunts 3 days a wee

I can’t answer that question but 1,000 acres is a drop in the bucket compared to what the state has that cannot be hunted. And Phil was saying to hunt the areas that have no hunting now to move the birds around. I think you misunderstood. He was advocating hunting in what are now no hunting areas.

Heck Yea. Might as well run em out the state completely. If anyone can hold blame of the state of the duck hunting here in LA its Phil and his duck dynasty crew.

Hunted this morning until 10:30 shot two ducks. Almost no birds left on my lease in johnson bayou

[ckinchen]

Agree dogface

[Matt G]

I made an afternoon trip today and only saw a 15 - 20 ducks total. I think I’m done for the season. It’s not worth my time and gas to go look at an empty sky.

[ckinchen]

Didn't fire a shot this morning in johnson bayou

[all star rod]

I had a pretty good hunt SW Kaplan...12 ducks and 3 geese.

My PI lease - 2 ducks this morning.

[ckinchen]
