For whatever reason, when LA folks talk about hunting or fishing, they never want to focus on loss of habitat....which is huge.

I can remember seeing so many more ducks in the 3 man limit days. They just simply don't come down any more.

Loss of food and habitat and changes in migration patterns.
I've been beating this drum since the late 80s.

So far this year our biggest issue has been weather. Lack of water in NEA and warm weather all the way to the breeding grounds has really hurt.

Add in the pressure and its amazing we kill limits at all. If I was to draw a circle 1 mile in diameter from my lease there are 15 other pits. We still kill a lot of ducks but it is hard for them to find a place to sit down right now with water and no guns.

Sitting in the blind now with my grandson. Front just passed through last night. This is our count this morning. One single pintail, one merganser, maybe 20 wooducks. No migration of any type of waterfowl whatsoever. Good north wind 5-10 mph.
