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.

Ive been to Canada in January and there were still ducks and geese in the fields.

No till has had a huge affect on the migration. I also believe the flyway has shifted to more non-traditional duck hunting states to the west.

I doubt I could ever be tied down to a blind again. It's so much better to get a network of outfitters and then just pay hunt. That way you pretty much kill birds since a reputable outfitter usually tells you if they aren't killing, you get a guide that pretty well does the dirty work, and you get a change of scenery from the same blind day in and day out. The drawback is obviously not getting to go when you want but I am good with that.

You nailed it. Too much $$$ for me.
