Pretty sure you’re trying to be funny. Maybe not. Late 90s you would have been laughed off if catshoula lake for bragging about a ring neck. Lol

Yes, comment went over the head of many. And I had to be seriously struggling to shoot anything other than a can diver wise in 80s-90s on catahoula.

Spent last 3 months in TX handle roughly 50 miles from OK border. The amount of grain left in fields is mind blowing. I’ve seen the same from ND south. Add in the abundance of reservoirs, there’s no reason for the birds to leave without considerable snow cover.

I’ve watched the Terrebonne marsh deteriorate rapidly the last 20 years. Levee system keeps marsh too high now and the ducks we kill has changed with it. Fishing is much better and I guess that’s the silver lining. But explaining to guy last nite why are markers for run weren’t in a line. I had to break out 2001 map, old bayou 40’ wide is now an open expanse of marsh over 300 yds wide. Habitat loss is a big factor down here as well.

Might also add, the saltwater came in and wiped out all our SAVs this year.
