re: Catahoula Lake could become off limits to duck hunters

A few of the landowners on the north side who are benefitting from this told me that "they always heard that the hunting was better when it flooded naturally" idk may be true but that was so long ago who knows. I do know we used to drive our trucks to parts of the lake that were dry hard dirt grass and shoot skeet and ride four wheelers and two months after they let the water out and some rain that same location was like 8 feet deep. It is really a crazy situation, im just praying by some miracle this all comes back. I know the birds aren't coming as far south (even to Ark) like they were back in the day but still the Lake and NWR is a big spot for conservationists and biologists to study birds. I know at one time "supposedly" it held the largest canvasback migration stop in North America, which there are a lot of cans that have been shot out of there.

I’ve only hunted catahoula one time in the mid 90’s and it was crazy. Hunted with a local from Jena and we had a four man limit of pintails, cans, and filled out with all mallards and wigeon. Hunted over 1500 decoys and saw the blinds every 400 yards and people doing the Cicero shuffle mid hunt, the whole works. Amazing boat ride out when the mallard hen calls and pintail whistles of the ducks roosted in the buck brush on the west side of the lake was deafening in places. I understand it is a shell of its former self. Sadly just seems like memories that won’t return to Louisiana hunters as missouri-kansas-oklahoma now draw so many of the birds that used to end up wintering down south.
