I can honestly say, I’ve never paid one penny for a guide to shoot ducks in my life and I’m 38. I’ve killed thousands of ducks on public land or private land invites. I don’t own any ducking hunting property. To each there own, but I just don’t understand paying anyone to kill a duck. Every mallard I ever killed, wood duck I ever killed, all look the same. I’ve been on hunts on public land that could never be beat, limits in minutes.

Csb. Some people have the means to simplify their hunting experience and choose to do so.

Others physically cant do all the public land stuff.

And if you hunt just a couple times a year, guide hunting is more cost effective


To the OP. Duck hunting in Louisiana has just become increasingly difficult to nail down even for a number of guides. Many are focusing their killing on specks because they cant consistently kill ducks anymore.
FWIW a friend went to habitat flats and didnt fire a shot this year.
Hunting isnt a guarantee except maybe argentina

I kill and usually have better hunts solo with no help on public land.

That is unrelated to my OP and question about getting hosed on guided hunts where other groups do well the same day

I travel to distant locations for most of my hunts and usually only go there once, opting to explore other places instead of returning. A guide is essential to what I am doing, but everyone’s situation is different
