I've leased from David Boudreaux and I say he isn't that bad. I don't know where the misinformation comes from.

Boudreaux has about 6 leases anywhere from Morse to Thornwell. We killed geese last year and weren't all that displeased. If you can call and have a halfway decent setup you can kill specks.

In my mind if you are going to say someone is bad, that is okay and actually a good thing. Qualify your experience with a story though. Oh, and by the way, I am not David Boudreaux.

Ducktrickster,

I will keep my ears open. Honestly though, I am not sure there are a lot of really good leases for big duck season that close to Crowley. They all do well for teal season, but it dies down a little towards the big season. If you have a water hole and can let it sit for a couple of weeks at a time you will have ducks, but other than that I don't know. Geese are probably more consistent than ducks. If you hear of something the places that would be best in order, are : Anywhere next to Wright's enrichment plant (Southwest of Crowley), Morse (South-Southwest of Crowley) and Lyons Point, (South of Crowley).

edit:
Another real nice spot if you can get in on it is North of Crowley, about 5 miles. Mowata area. There is a little flight way there that does really well. Those guys were killing every kind of duck including Canvasbacks last year. It is very isolated though.

[Ducktrickster]

I hunt the mowata area now. Im not limiting myself to the crowley area. Anywhere like welsh, klondike, kaplan and points in between.

[DUCKGOGETTER]

I went speck hunting a couple of times in mowata good god they had some specks in that area.

OK not David I know three people that fell for his BS and none of them killed anything last year worth talking about...when people all over the same area were slaughtering ducks and geese

[speckhunter]

any one seeing any ducks or geese yet

That's better, at least you validated your response. I have heard gripes about David before, your friend isn't the first. Knowing him personally, I can see why people might take issue with the way he runs things. Can't say I completely agree myself.

that being said, I killed geese on the leases last year, and by the way, my name is Chris Cole. Just so you know who you are talking too.

What was the factor that caused them not to kill while others in the area did?

1. "misunderstanding" about water
2. No birds
3. Only got to hunt 3 of the 6 blinds in a "rotational " lease
4. The fields that had water were never assigned to them.


This was the opinion of two separate groups leasing. One guy stopped hunting in the middle of the season cause it was a waste of time

[all star rod]

last year I was looking for another lease....for 7 years my two uncles and I shared a lease. Well one of my uncles keep letting one of his broke d.. buddies hunt 24-7 so my other uncle and I decided to look for something else. Well I saw his "David's" add in the Quick Qtr and I called him. So he went from at first wanting to charge us 5K with all these rules. Well my uncle and I found something else.....David called me like every other day....in the end, he basically begged me to lease from him and the price went down every time. Towards the end, I think he would of paid me to lease from him....also my father in law knows him.....he said stay away from that dude.....
I guess some people are happy killing 20-30 geese a year.

I guess Duck Enticer was the one who hunted the 3 blinds you did not hunt which had water....

I bet there was on "misunderstanding" on how much $$$ he was owed from you....

[specktator]

Stay away from Neal Landry in Kaplan too. I pass the blind he leased us all the time on my way back from PI. Hasn't been leased out since we leased it 5-6 years ago. What a crook.

20-30 geese sounds about right. and as far as I know only 1-2 of the leases had water on them last year.
