You talking about the South La one? I have no idea but it speaks volumes about the "decrease" in birds (at least in birds being shot) that that part of coastal area was named "Mallard Bay." I hope they're getting them, but it makes me so sad thinking about the old days from when I was a kid and seeing pictures from before I was born of cajun baws (and North/CenLa baws) with a dock covered in dabbler ducks.

ETA: @arczr2. You are probably right to look elsewhere. It's a pipe dream to buy some swampy land or some old ag land one day close to a river to duck and deer hunt, but probably will never happen. I just thank the Lord I was around to hunt Catahoula back in the day when it was really popping off.

I'm one of those guys who used to hunt the marshes south of Lake Charles. Johnson Bayou and then Big Pasture, we used to slay the ducks. It wasn't uncommon to limit and to limit with a healthy dose of mallards. Are there any mallards in SWLa now?
