this is shaping up to be the worst season ever to date for me. And I thought nothing could be as bad as last year.


Stats:
19 total hunts
8 scratches
Most killed in a hunt 3

Turrible

Fine first split. Opening day of the second split was pretty good. But we're pretty slow now. Hope the incoming front will help. I'm in Jones.

8 total hunts
6 scratches
Most ducks killed 7

Problem is that we are seeing ducks, they just have no intention of coming down from mars

This is my 3rd season duck hunting and it's been by far my best. Made 15 hunts, averaging almost 4 birds/hunt. All public land in SELA and CENLA. Limited twice in the basin and twice in Venice. Scratched once, got 1 mottled duck on another trip. Also spent two days scouting with no intent of hunting. I'm sure it won't keep up at this pace but so far I've been extremely fortunate and the season has been great for me.

It's been getting a lot slower lately tho. I think I need to do some more scouting to find some more productive areas.

Weisertiger has our official stats, but the numbers are horrendous. We had a good opening weekend of the first split and has been very little shooting since then.

i went solo this morning and got 3 (all spoonies) best hunt since opening weekend.

Season thus far has been just ok. I haven't hunted my blind more than 10 or 12 times due to work. When I got a blind full of people we have struggled to kill birds simply because there aren't enough working our field for me to call the shot in front of everyone. We have had some good hunts and I've done well by myself but the shots I've taken to kill my birds have been some tough ones. We struggled with water levels the entire first split. From what I hear the farmer has got it right now but I haven't hunted my blind yet for the second split.

Scratched once. Had one hunt with a couple woodies in a WMA. Other hunts were in Delacroix and we did great. 3 man limits by 800

Its been decent for me. Missed out on opening morning due to trespassers so that sucked. Least amount killed in a trip was 3 on a hot day with no wind. Barely killed any teal which is weird for me.

Pretty bad here. All public land. 4 hunts:
Hunt #1- 2 man limit
Hunt #2- 1 woody
Hunt #3- scratch
Hunt #4- 1 woody, could have killed mergansers but did not feel like messing with them.
The Corps is always late pumping, so there are a ton of people on about 1/2 of what should be flooded.

I've missed the only 2 I've had a shot at..

I can't get the lead right on a squealer passing shot @ 75 yards with 7 mag..

I've had some good hunts, but overall it's been the worst season we've had in the last 10 years or so.

Venice has been lights out. 3 man limits pretty much every hunt. Sherburne has been serviceable. 5 trips have yielded 3, 2, 1, 2 and 0.

I went this morning in NE Arkansas and we only got 2. Saw plenty flying high though, just couldn't get them to land.

Only hunted twice in LA this year shot 8 (2 people) both times.

Hunted Oklahoma for a week, and wore them out though.
