Default First split-coastal zone

Well, rate your first split.... Was it average, good, etc. Just curious about the blind or lease. Not asking where. Our lease did well. We were very fortunate in the hunts we had, and the birds we killed. This is based off of just conversations about hunts during the split. We hunt marsh and killed a varsity of species. Happy with the first split.

I've hunted in 8ish days in the first split in GC south of 82. So far I've killed limits every time and just about everyone that has hunted in the blind with me has limited or should have as well. Although yesterday someone hunted the same blind had only had 2 at 8:30.

I would say 90% of what we killed were teal, 5% grays and 5%other. Usually its the other way around, I guess the teal loved the extra foot of water.

We did Okay. Not our best year ever but not our worse either. We where only skunked a time or two. Most days we would get between 4 to 8 birds between 2 people. We had a few limits but very seldom. I did get to spend more time at the camp than I have in a long while.

Two words come to mind: poo poo

I can honestly say, so far this is the worst duck season I have had. Granted, I wasn't able to hunt near as much as I had in most years. We just didn't get the birds, and everyone around is saying the same thing. Hunting rice fields in central Evangeline parish.

South of hwy in GC. One of our better seasons with most hunts having limits of mostly teal and a few greys mixed in. Sat was good but Sunday saw a hunt of 9 birds mostly teal. Hope the greenwing stick around the second season.

Hunted fields in Lacassine area. Geese are finally showing up more in the area. Ducks were hit and miss. Average was 4 birds a person. Teal, greys, spoons. Where I hunted was devided by hwy. The east side had a way better flight of birds.

My experiences

Coastal (Rice fields in S. Central LA): First year hunting it hard, very very very slim pickins
W. Zone (Red River area NW LA): Slower than usual, too much water and about 1/2 the ducks
E. Zone (Tensas River area, rice fields NE LA): Much slower than usual, about 1/3 of the ducks

I suppose lack of colder temps up north to blame for lack of birds in E and W zones for me. All of my spots in these zones are full of food, some with too much water, but altogether were set up for birds. I think we just never got the weather to push em down.

Teal Teal and more Teal. Didn't really see a lot of mallards until the last two weekends of the first split. Shot mostly teal in the first few eeks of the split. The season started way to early. Most birds haven't even started their migration yet when the season started. Hope it starts freezing up north soon!

Hunted Sabine, Little Chenier, and 4 mile square area. Teal, Greys, Mottle, to make the few good bags we had. Very weak first split, one good front brought in some birds for a few days but we shot them out fast. Really hoping for a better 2nd. More skunk days than any season that I can remember, looking back 20 years.

Best season we have had in the last 5 years. 83 ducks in 8 hunts, 74 of which were BWT and GWT. No Hybrids though HA

Unfortunately, buddy went yesterday and didn't see a bird.. if the Teal left, we screwed!

1st week was good. After the 1st week terrible. This reminds me of the 1st split of 2013.

Compared to last year, down about 100 ducks, even with the earlier start..
High water killed us in the marsh.. I'd rather have warmer weather and 1ft of water than 4 ft

Averaged over 3 per person dogs, ringers, and ruddies. A couple goldeneyes and a bonus surf scoter for the wall. Coots seem to be a little scarce but maybe they will come on down for second split
