No till farming

Also duck hunting is huge money business now. Companies and outfitters have massive incentive to keep ducks up north as long as possible these days.

In the 1990’s how much was a duck hunt per gun in Kansas or Missouri?

Some of these outfitters are charging 3-4k per gun per weekend and booked out for years

I've been hunting for over 40yrs here in La. Mostly public and in nonagricultural areas. Yea we had lots of wooducks, but only killed different ducks when they are migrating. Seems since the 90's the ducks migrating are way down. And if you were outside anytime at night during the fall you would here geese moving. Not so much anymore of either.

A huge part of it this year is just lack of winter weather in the North combined with drought in the south.
I expect every year to be worse than what I saw in the mid 90s but a lot of this year has just been poor weather.

When Maddison WI has the same weather as Jonesboro AR in the middle of December there will be a lot of empty skies.
