don't you think the birds are evolving and getting smarter? I mean, they aren't gonna go further than necessary for food, but they aint gonna keep going to the same spots they got shot at either. They been shot at, called at, and seen every decoy imaginable by the time the get down here, especially in late season. I can't imagine they aren't learning from that and moving over to the central FW if there is less pressure. emphasis on if there is less pressure.

Is a lot of rice still farmed in S Louisiana? If so sooner or later there should be birds.

Ducks these days have become very adaptive on refuge hopping and adapting to hunting pressure in those areas. For example, in NE LA, we have three distinct rest areas on 1 WMA (Ouachita/Sage) and 2 NWR's (D/Arbonne/Upper Ouachita) that hold shite ton of birds during the season. These birds sit on these areas all day and then will leave to feed at night. Now there are exceptions and there are times right when the birds first get here where there are windows to kill them before they go nocturnal but by and large after the dumb ones are dead, it is really hard to kill ducks. Every once in a while you can catch some of these birds moving during daylight when they need to feed more due to colder weather but by and large, most hunters in that area typically never see much of those ducks.

So the answer to this is not letting the birds get comfortable when they first get down here and keeping constant pressure on them?
The best spots in South LA have been the best spots for a long time but the guys who have those spots have resting areas/days so the birds can get comfortable
Also there are 100s of new outfitters all over who try to hunt every single day morning and afternoon especially for specks
