ever heard about it drying out, what has changed to cause that, subsidence?

My swamp lease in thibodaux is just like this. The old men talk how they use to walk in regular boots and green heads used to be everywhere.
Now you need hip boots to go anywhere and only see wood ducks. They say the "land" is sinking and the swamp is dying.

The swamp is definitely dying.

The river levee is the main culprit, but the canals, roads, logging, salvania, mud boats, etc certainly don't help it.

We hunted all along Lake P from the mid to late-90s, and didn't do too bad. I think it dropped off pretty heavily because the birds stopped coming
