re: Duck season 3 days in

Never hunted SE LA but certainly have in SW LA. Had a little shitty lease where pasture meets deep marsh due south of Lake Chuck. It was 15 minutes from in town to sitting in the blind. Always good for a few ducks (teal or black mallard, sometimes blue bills) before work. Then some professional group (I think CPA's) leased the section or so due south and put blinds in every single pothole on the lease with no resting areas. Freakin ruined the hunting there. I hardly ever heard them shoot after they added more blinds and removed any rest areas.

Otherwise I hunted elsewhere with friends and we always had limits of good ducks. Even got to watch several thousand mallards the last day of the season one year. Blue bird day and they were bodied up in the middle of the 3 blinds. They kept rising up and flying around like big body of snows and blues. We all stayed until noon that day just to watch them as we had our limits early. Then we started scooping up all the empty shell casings from around the blinds from second half of the season.
