Default I Would Appreciate Some Feedback

I have an opportunity to obtain a duck hunting blind in the Grand Chenier area on the South side of Hwy 82 and west of the Rockerfeller Refuge. Just wanted some feed back on how the hunting is in that area. Just need a general opinion if you think it is Good, Fair, Poor ect. Thank you in advance for your feedback.

It depends year to year and on water but its usually really good around there. I'd do it. I hunt with a friend right behind booths and we do pretty good.

I would ask why the lease opened up. Most of the time the leases that are good in that area never open up. But if the price is right i'd probably do it just because of the potential that area has

I see you live in Meaux... If you ever want some help killing ducks down there I'd be more than happy to help you out. Just trying to be a good neighbor since I proably live right down the road from you

Some people go years without the opportunity to acquire a lease... if you got the connections you might as well hop on board for the right price. no telling how long you will have to wait for a halfway decent place to open up.

If it is Miller property like Sulphite suggested, the property has been switching hands lately. Dude that owns my piece now lives in Chicago, IL and he is a descendant of the Millers. I think they split the property up to where each family member got their own chunk. I had to do a lot of negotiating to get my place back this year for a decent price. And a lot of people in my area weren't happy with prices and acreage minimums so they "claim" they weren't getting back in this year.
