If you had to choose between a duck goose hunt in the southwest rice fields or the north east La delta what would you choose and why?

We had some good goose hunts in SW LA last year. That'd be my vote.

SW LA is good when you hit it just right. One day could be lights out the next not good. Did several geese hunts in SW LA. Mixed bag honestly. I want to say around $250 a gun a hunt was the going price. A lot of outfitters in SW LA make there money during teal season anything after that is extra money.

NELA

I hunt SWLA rice fields so a change of scenery would be cool

Because I have heard the only good mallard reports over the last few years there.

Well a speckle belly is the only goose worth eating, so duck hunt for me.

Is Saskatchewan in the NE LA Delta? If it is I'd go there. If it ain't I'd go to Sask.

I’ve always had more success on specklebellys over there, but it really depends on the location. Big duck season hasn’t been what it used to be.

Its on a downward trend like LA and AR. Been the last couple of years and the guides there think they have about 5 more good years.

BUT, the it was the most incredible green head hunt I've ever had in my life.

To answer the OP, in LA would be whatever is closest to me. So I'd chose SWLA rice field all day.

I’ve got some buddies that wore that arse out last year in Wilmot, AR. Best year they had in a while. That’s all I got.

SWLA - Correct, it is shite

NELA - Wrong, hunted in the area for the better part of my 25 years hunting. Some slimmer years lately, but last year was fiya

There are only 2 legit outfitters in NE LA.

Top Gun in Mer Rouge area and Gordon Markle with Mallard Crossing Guide Service out on 15 East of Monroe. I imagine both are probably full for this year.

Shot more mallards this past year in CenLa than the last probably 5 years and the usual pintails and cans always in abundance, but saw buddies pictures from NELA with tons of "desired big ducks" from last season. Hit or miss I am sure.
