Duck season is drawing to a close

Still got 2 hunts in me

Specs were good for us

Headed up to Itibena, MS tmrw to end the season on a high note.

About the same as last year.

I go both days of every weekend and sometimes during the week. There just does not seem to be as many ducks as the mid to late 1990s. The decline began around 2000. But each year they say breeding conditions are excellent and duck numbers are good and the liberal season is retained. But I am just not seeing the ducks like I used to.

The rise in popularity of duck hunting with the overcrowding and sky busting by the newbies is not helping matters either.

I had no water until the last two or three weeks of the season so zero ducks for me.

Had high hopes. The battle of trespassers when we got good water really left me unhappy

Slow year for me as usual.

I had a few ducks here and there at my new pond that I leased.

My farm in Arkansas was slow and has been declining each year.

Next year I plan to have my pond planted and layed out a little better to hopefully maximize the birds. I also plan to target geese at my farm since they are always there.

Now that I have a kid, I dont let the lack of ducks bother me. I go hunting rain or shine and just look forward to the opportunity to get out of the house now.

record amount of dogris... limited out on them every weekend.

SW LA hunting was stellar first split.

S. Terrebonne had a weird season. Great Saturday hunts, but slower on Sunday.

MS Delta was spotty but the green showed up late.

Overall I would give this season a 7/10

Pretty poor for the most part. I did have a couple of great hunts on Wednesday & Thursday down at the Coastal Club. Yesterday was the most ducks I've ever seen in the marsh. At least the season went out with a bang.

Been pretty good for me considering I will only get to make about 18 hunts. I'm sitting at 64 thru 16 hunts right now. My best season in a while but that's mainly due to the fact that Ive hunted more this yr. I've hunted public and private.
