Also take in account the fact that stretches of Mississippi and North Louisiana have dedicated a good percentage of ag land to CRP tree programs to better their deer hunting. And what land is still farmed, has been precision leveled to drain water, cleaned up low spots and turn rows. The result is far less flooded ag land in these areas.

Agree 100%, what used to be low-lying flooded bean fields in the winter are now weed/briar patches with hardwood trees. But, I do believe those habitats will return once those red oaks are making mast and open enough to allow ducks to access. But unfortunately i'll likely be too old to give much of a shite by then.

heck I can remember riding down 190 from west of eunice to br and seeing scores of ducks from the side of the road...
and riding up 71 or 49.... say around 1999/2000.... and the numbers of birds visible from the road were staggering...
that is no longer that case..... not even close...
of course back in 1982 we also killed limits of wild quail - where I hunted in 82 - the same 600 acres probably hasn't killed 50 birds this year.....
and crawfish ponds are simply not ideal duck habitat...
