However I am still very skeptical of all these record numbers of birds that we are supposed to have. Hopefully Larry can drop in and share some knowledge on how they come up with the numbers but I want to say that I large part is based on equation and not actual hands-on research and eyeballing.


I think the USF&W still does pond counts and brood surveys with boots on the ground.

I am like you though, skeptical on these record numbers. Especially on the Mallard counts. Where are all these Mallards? Very few even make it into LA anymore and I know AR has fr fewer compared to the numbers of 20 or so years ago and if MI doesn't have them I guess MO is hoarding all the Mallards.

I enjoyed the sport, but stopped duck hunting several years ago. It seemed to be that the show was essentially over after the first couple of weeks of the first split ... at least on Catahoula. Miss it, but I am not going to spend that kind of money to sit in a blind and admire the sky.
