I was on HWy 71 with someone looking at buying some land there today - at the magic hour - saw exactly one duck.....

Drove it the other day, saw about 1/10 of the ducks normally, and no geese.

I used to hunt 20 times a year, the last two years I have hunted three times total.

I cant say I miss it very much.

I had binoculars and still saw the ONE duck.... unreal.. but... I think some changes in land use in that area also dramatically hurting that area too...

I hit rice field with fine mesh scoop net - almost NO feed....

hit one pond of just natural grasses - fair amount of feed....



but the section we looked at had not been hunted since november and to have only one duck was mind boggling...


even at sunset in that area you used to see large large flights of birds.... zero..
