re: Have the good ole days of duck hunting become a thing of the past.

I had one hunt about 15 years ago that was awesome like the old days. It was pure luck.

Tupelo gum brake outside Greenwood, Ms that used to be prime duck hunting. I scouted it out one afternoon and heard a ton of mallards back in there, went the next morning. 8 of us limited out on mallards in 20 minutes. They were pouring into that brake like a tornado funnel, breaking tree limbs. After shooting the limit we stayed and watched them come in for 2 hours. It was beautiful, mallards were landing so close to where we were standing in waders it was splashing water on us. My friend killed a beautiful black mallard he got mounted.

I figure I’ll never see a hunt like that again

That brake never got ducks like that again. I think they were migrating through and I just hit it on the perfect day. I was home for the weekend from Mississippi State. Didn’t even need decoys, they wanted to be there and no amount of shooting stopped them from coming. It was amazing
