You are paying for a lease, and having to hunt private land.... Combined have killed 6 ducks on 25 hunts

this.

i would say if you are going to hunt public you need to put some more days in scouting and less in hunting. if ducks aren't in area at all, make some longer drives and you can scout the morning and hunt the afternoon (obviously this requires either state land or the coastal WMAs since most WMAs are shut after 2PM). use ducksunlimited and other forums to look for reports. learn new areas. im still a novice hunter but i know the first rule of duck hunting: go where the ducks are.
