This was my first season ever duck hunting. Had a blast however after opening weekend(first split) bird got very scarce. Last few weekends have netted 0's.

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

not bad, in the scheme of things...it does make me a little sad to see each season getting progressively worse than the last, though...
I am afraid without something turning around pretty sharply over the next few years, duck hunting will be a thing of the past for me...

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.

One of my better seasons and it was fun making out a tally sheet for the Waterfowl Contest every hunt. My buddies thought I was a wingnut for doing it though.
Still got 2 hunts left then I will break out my camera and start taking pictures. It's honestly more fun with my camera.

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

By far best season I have had since 2000. Our kill numbers are up 50% from last year.
Only down side is that family illness will keep me from hunting the lay 10 days. Had it all set up to leave yesterday then put my mom in the hospital..??

Sorry to hear that Hammer. I have only been duck hunting 4 years and this has been the best season by a long shot. Venice was on fire this year. Going to finish it off Saturday and Sunday with some quick Sherburne hunts.

Slow, but ended on a high note last weekend.
Posted on 1/23/15 at 8:18 am to weagle99
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.

Good season, but it's been so damn hot
Posted on 1/23/15 at 9:54 am to weagle99
record amount of dogris... limited out on them every weekend.
Posted on 1/23/15 at 9:58 am to weagle99
Only made one duck weekend this season but I couldn't have asked for much more

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

How was your season in '14-'15?
Pretty much a total bust. No birds, shitty weather, no water where I wanted it and then too much water. Couldn't seem to make a hunt without oversleeping, getting shite on by other hunters, or forgetting something. Just wasn't meant to be this year. Still had a blast when I did get to go. Next year I'll be in a totally new part of the country so hopefully I'll have a few more birds.
