I've been duck hunting for 8 years. all of it in North East Texas small ponds on private land with the exception of 2 paid hunts this season to SD and LA


Gotcha. Until you have hunted public land in a state that pressures the ducks like LA does, you haven't seen the shite show that people get on here to complain about, no offense.

That's true, bUT then let's not bash duck hunting in general and claim all new hunters are the nuevo rich ignorant impatient assholes if they shoot at ducks that refuse to decoy all the way in.


Do something about it. Put on an educational seminar, speak with the guys on DD and ask them to do segment on skyblasting, work to get an ethical hunter educational workshheet added to lisc app each year. Offer to assist new hunters and teach them up right. Get a shooting range to design a duck specific range that throws crossing shots at 20, 30, 40, 50 ,60 yards. And high skeet out of range occasionally, and going away shots that climb out of range. It would be a great way to learn when to pass a shot. And what your limits are. Write LA conservationist or outdoor life, or LA sportsman or....



It sounds like the title should be "thoughts on overcrowded public land duck hunting and skyblasting flaring my ducks"

I laugh at the thought of how many of yall are complaining about each other

I have duck hunted since I was 8, I am 45. Been calling shots on hunts since I was like 15 when with buddies.

Called a shot on one about 50 yards last week , shite happens. I laughed it off, as should most people..it is supposed to be fun. Sometimes you just jack up and call the wrong shot. I dont know how much of this is what people are worried about, but I think people really need to find more enjoyment and less things to freak out about.
