when i refer to ducks i'm not refering to only mallards i'm speaking of ducks in general. For example the holmwood sweetlake area south of lake charles. Anybody can remember seeing multiple bodies of geese/ducks in these areas in the past, but for the last few years the migration has changed due to a lack of food planted. It's simple no food no ducks/geese. Another example helms road south of lake charles again in the 90's that i can remember if you had a blind down this road you had a top notch blind. You could drive down that road and see thousands of waterfowl now when you past you don't even see a duck/goose down that whole road due to the lack of farming. |

We have more public hunting land available than most states, especially up north. It seems crowded, but you don't know crowded til you go to Arkansas and hunt public land. For every good picture someone posts up there are hundreds of people who scratched that day. Same with fishing, you see a pic of limits and people think they can just go up and do that. Again, Louisiana KILLS more ducks than ANY STATE. How is duck hunting dead in Louisiana? We are also starting to get more whistling ducks hanging around and bw teal are staying here during the winter which is really adding to the number of ducks wintering down here. We have it GREAT. You want to kill mallards consistently go to Kansas or Oklahoma or Arkansas, but you will pay out the butt in Arkansas for prime hunting ground, fo revery good blind there are 10 'garholes'.

Your right....It don't matter what kind of evidence or biology work or what the numbers are... Just like the 15trout limit in Big Lake....if they (politics) want in they will get it........BOTTOM LINE 15 Trout limit in big lake was done by paper pushing politics with ZERO FACTs............So if they want 30 day duck season....By damn they will get it... OTHER THAN THAT ...................

(Side Bar) Hey, Jared and the Feeesherman, cool down guys. Go take an ice bath or something.
(End Side Bar) There are a ton of things that go into the number of ducks killed. There is more habitat up north, so more ducks are stopping up north now because of all the work DU and other organizations do up there. That is also a combination of weather, like someone pointed out. This past winter was one of the more milder in the past several (first one in I believe three years that we didn't get snow in Lake Charles). We do still have a lot of ducks down here, there is no doubting that. But I guarantee you we have more hunter efforts down here than a lot of the northern states do, so that is going to affect the number of ducks that are killed. Now with all that being said, do I think there needs to be changes? Yeah, if it is the right change. I think the biggest thing being considered at this point is 3 zones, 2 splits. From the design I looked at, which was a week or two ago so don't hold me to this, it is 3 zones/2 splits. As it has been pointed out, splits and total days are based on duck numbers. I think we can all agree though: we want what is best for the sport. It's agreeing on what is best that is the problem. |

First off, where are y'all getting this reduced season nonsense? This needs to be nipped right now. There are still ducks in the coastal marsh that have yet to leave for the breeding ponds The pond counters have not even probably serviced their airplanes to get ready for the counts. We will not know until August what the season forecast will be. There is no evidence for a reduction in days and/or limits yet

Haha im good. I realized people can be wrong on the internet. I was just putting forth my idea. Not everyone will agree. But it is a fact more and more habitat is manipulated along the entire mississippi flyway to mimic what we have down here.

I will disagree with you on that..........I been duck hunting since the age of 7 years old I would say a Mallard is top 5 easiest to kill...but Black Mallard (molted duck) is the Hardest Easiest Ducks to kill over my years of hunting are #1 Teal #2 Spoonbills #3 Gray Ducks #4 Mallards #5 PinTail
