re: The golden years for ducks are gone....

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...

This is also the first time that I am hearing many people that I talk with and have hunted with over the years.. talk about giving it up.....ie.. or spending 10-15 days up north and then just occasionally hunting....
and DU nor duck dynasty is at fault here either..
I felt bad for a group of young guys(early 20s I ran into at sherburne the other day - they were wet cold and had a ton of gear in a boat 3 dogs... and had one small hog 3 mergansers and 1 wood duck to show for their effort...... I can remember easily limiting before woodcock hunts at sherburne in early 2000s... in the green tree - not south farm...
the more I think about it the more I miss wild quail....

and sugar cane.
there has been a monumental shift in the barely existent ag land away from rice/corn/bean and into sugarcane
It's so bad that when I powerball dream of my future land it's no longer in Concordia/Tensas. It's in s. Missouri
