For the record I don't duck hunt but a couple times a year and when I do it is public land.
I'm conflicted about this. Part of me says, well that's how capitalism works(which I am in favor of). The other part of me is saddened by the loss of hunting land available to the common man who won't or can't pay thousands of dollars a year to hunt ducks.

I have a few buddies who hunt lacassine refuge about 4-5 times a yr. They do very well. Only hunt a certain wind and go into there spot. Over a mile walk they said kill mallards and pintail. Pass everything else. I have seen the pics. They don't lie.

Proof you can put in the work and still have a great hunt on public land.

98% of people I know that duck hunt will only do this once. That's some hard hunting out there. I used to have to beg people to go with us, if they did it was usually the last time they would go. If you're a real big guy, might as well hang it up and sleep in. I didn't go last year though. Like CGoods said none of our old spots had open water. At least the first split they didn't.

This is fact. We rarely shot until the 8:00 mallard flight. Unreal how we could nearly set your watch to it. Fun hunts for sure.

Some of our best hunts on Attakapa wma in the basin was after 10am. Everyone else leaves early and we always stay till noon. Just shoot the bull for a couple hours after the first morning flight, then all of a sudden the mallards and greys show up.

How about go chase some public land squirrels and hogs maybe out of popup blind in the woods... good for hiding those kids, and keeping skeeters off. Set up near a slough and shoot some woodies too. Add in a camping experience if you have to drive a bit to make it worth it ?

Don't feel alone, lots making adjustments with this bad oilfield situation.
