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.

yep, used to be able to shoot just about every single species in the Miss and Central flyway back in the day, sad stuff. But like you said, law suit aside its not like the ducks are coming down like they used to anyway.
