re: LDWF needs move deer and duck hunting season dates 30 days later.

“Public input” meaning a few influential individuals who hunt in the marsh

30% of respondents to the 2020 waterfowl hunter survey were in favor of the 2 zone format. The difference was in how people wanted it split--35% wanted it north/south, and 35% wanted it east/west at the Atchafalaya.

Based on harvest data, LDWF saw no logic in splitting it at the Atchafalaya. Now why they didn't go with the north/south line following 14/90, who knows?

Harvest data also showed that average daily bag dropped as the season progressed. There's literally nothing to support that having the season open later would result in better hunting. To the contrary--it gets worse the later we get.

People just can't seem to understand that we see alot more ducks in fields come February because the frickers know they aren't getting shot at...
