That's better
I really don't know any duck leases down my way but maybe some of them Richland parish folks might

Where I hunt a run of the mill pit in a rice field with run you 6k and that is typically not with guaranteed water.

Was talking to a guy who knows the folks who still own a couple hundred acres of Black Bayou Lake at Monroe. They haven't allowed duck hunting but he says are considering opening it up. I know the lake used to be famous for the big blinds in it back in the 50's - 60's, and it's real close in. Anybody heard anything about it?

Feds own all but about 200 ac. of Black Bayou on the south side. That 200 ac. is privately owned. It's part of an old family place. They lease about 1000 acres of woods to Silver Spur and allow fishing in the lake but no duck hunting yet. That's what I hear.

I know some blinds near baton rouge that go for 10k. I at the guy

Anything on 15 is probably going to start at 5k for something shitty up to 10k+ for something decent

The high dollar stuff tends to be paid by businesses, and guys take clients to justify the expense. They also have to be close enough to a large town to hunt weekdays and make it to the office by 9-10 in the morning. If you are just hunting weekends, no way that is worth it.

Some maybe.... Not necessarily for the area he asking about n monroe. I know probably 30 guys that lease blinds in the area and only a handful are lease by businesses.

$2k/yr per man is an average price for a decent/good blind.

Now way in hell I would pay 2k for a duck lease. Hell you could go on 10 guided hunts for that.

Yeah you are right, 10 hunts for 2K is a much better deal than rights to hunt everyday for 2K.
