Ahhh well I'm glad to hear you're killing birds. I just get annoyed/sad at the pictures of the old days from La (esp down south) where they just had piles of big ducks.
@Dillo I have no idea. I bet there are mallards around. Saw a lot on Catahoula as well as sprigs but they were so decoy and call shy and were way too pressured they weren't making more than two rounds around the blind before dipping back to the off limits "duck lake" on the refuge.
That is why I can't wait to get a boat, I can finally really hunt some public land and learn the rivers and areas better and try to find some good spots.
ETA: hoping this cold front pushes some new birds in and I get a chance to go.

Imo one of the biggest issues on public wmas is the use of surface drives. If you could give the birds some areas to rest and make it paddle only or walk in only, like big areas you would see more birds. Anybody that has a surface drive can get dang near anywhere and constantly scare birds and run them Day in and day out. With some kind of no motor area Lazy/out of shape hacks won't walk 500 yards through the marsh packing in gear in a pirogue. Therefore eliminating alot of pressure on ducks most arent willing to put that kind of work in. But we will never see that as State won't do that for wmas. Refuges at least have rest days to give birds a break.
