Duck season changes?

["W"]

Good ol days did not mean more ducks just ment less hunters ...like one rice field blind per 500 acres.....now you have 30 or 40 per 500 acres

How many times you hear about Arkansas? or ALL the ducks are in Missouri?

1st one is Arkansas, 2nd is Missouri. We killed more than both combined

so duck butt.. you telling me that the north dont kill any other species? i went to oklahoma this year and smashed the birds for 3 days with 5 people... killed 3 mallards the whole time.. and biologists were amazed that we killed our bellies everyday.. and as for killing other species, we killed mainly wigeon and pintail, and as for as a mallard being a park duck and easy to kill, when was the last time you killed your limit of straight mallards? what about a grey duck, you cant tell me they dont come in your face to die... and to argue about the number of ducks we kill is just straight ignorant.. we all know that louisiana kills more ducks do to the number of hunters, it is in our heritage and culture.. other states cant say that they have that like us.. bottom line is everybody has different points of view about this but we all have one thing in common, to help us people form louisiana have a better hunting season! so for you to sit and argue about numbers is completely irrelevant...

I am just saying that how can we do better when we are already the best?

I have killed more than my share of mallard limits but what does that matter? It is what it is, in the timber of north La that is just what you are offered. If someone kills 100 mallards a year or 100 gadwalls or teal is there any difference? Is someone better than the other? Aren't they all 'ducks'? The obsession with mallards is what drives all this talk.

You can thank television, internet, and the face painters for that!

I didnt hunt for the Company I use to farm it with Paul Watson... from 95-00 and hunted till 2002

Guy's yall got a great debate going here. Watch the name calling please.

I agree with W on the good old days statement. When I was in my 20's I would hunt almost everyday of the season. We hunt a salt/brackish marsh. Our main birds were teal, gadwall and widgeon. Limits were easy. But, we hardly ever saw another hunter in the area. Now there are 6 blinds in that area.

Want to talk about Good Ol Days

My dad hunted in Pine Island on the Garbarino Farm for years....... I recall one day we got there (must of been a Fri Afternoon) and the Old man Garbarino told my dad he wanted a all Pintail to cook for Saturday football games...... So Me , My Dad, Dads Buddy and Cousin all walked to the blind from the camp and killed all pintail in no time it seemed

I was only about 10 maybe and shooting a signal shot 4-10 , but can recall asking why I could not shoot those green heads and had to shoot the long head ducks only..

Back then it was a points system and you could shoot the hell out of birds.......That Place in Pine Island was a duck heaven and now you cant buy a duck there......

no DB, the obsession with ducks drives this talk... your right a duck is a duck.. but for us in the south, we dont get mallards, and that is the first duck that people think about when you think about hunting... i mean i was brought up hunting all my damn life and there are only a handful of places down here where you can consistently kill MALLARDS..

We use to kill mallards by the hundreds every year on the Plant......I wish my scanner would work right...I would post up some Mallard hunts off the plant

I wouldn't mind seeing that. I like seeing older duck hunting pictures, even if it's just from the 90s

I hunted on the plant once this year, I wanna say the blind was called ridge 4. We killed a limit of grey ducks and a few geese. If the water wouldn't have been there we could have killed an easy limit of geese, but we wouldn't have shot any ducks. They wanted in that flooded cut that day, we didn't have a duck decoy one
