It hasn't been very good here (southwest louisiana, more specifically Cameron Parish) lately in the second split like it normally is. What gives? The weather has been prime for waterfowl. Hopefully this arctic front will push em all down to us. How is y'all seasons going?

Plenty of geese. Not many ducks. But that's normal for us.

Been hit or miss since 2nd split opened in Cenla

Catahoula Lake has been pretty bad with a good day or two mixed in. Have hunted Beouf River WMA the last couple days. Has been decent until this morning. Didn’t fire a shot.

We found about 10,000 ducks sitting in a hole about a mile from the lease yesterday. We shoot 2 ducks this morning. Went ride by this afternoon and they are still there.

I’ve tslked to people in many parts of LA today; met rouge, pecan island, lacassine, gueydan, thornwell, and none of them had good reports. Most of have been saying it is the worst duck season they have ever seen.

Our camp has done a good bit better this year than we have done in the past several years.....particularly when we had that stretch of cold weather a few weeks back.

I am anxiously awaiting this next polar blast!

Few in venice but they are very cane shy. Only way to kill more than a couple is to build blind out in ponds. Low tides, low river and north wind has made most areas downriver unhuntable. Group of guys at landing on wednesday had limit that included wigeon, pintail and greys from upriver.

Grab a kid (hopefully one you know) and go to Bayou Sauvage. I paddled there today for three hours (caught 6 green trout and 4 reds) and there were hudreds of ducks in every pond with water.

I don't duck hunt, but if I did I'd do it right behind my place at chef pass.

Ouachita and Morehouse hasn’t really been that great where we hunt. Thought it’d be a good season because of how cold it was gonna be the entire season but it ended up being one of the worse seasons we’ve had. Too much open water and that’s where the ducks are going

We are about 20 birds shy of double what we killed last year.

We smoked the ducks and specks in Stuttgart this weekend. Birds started moving south last night. Should see a big push soon. They high for the next week in Stuttgart is 29 so it will be mostly locked up

Sunday about 4:45 pm - 5:10 pm there were THOUSANDS of ducks flying over Metairie toward the north. I guess it was so cold they said "heck with this! Let's go back up north!!!!!".
