quote:let's see in 1983 I had at least 5 hunts with 10 widgeon or 10 pintails.... I have had maybe 5 hunts since late 80s where I could have replicated that since. and I'm basing that off the number of ducks you saw riding around on rural highways then or on your way back from hunting marsh or out fishing. if you are 250 better than last year and you are in LA - you are in the extreme minority.
I think the overall trend in the SE is certainly down. But I don’t think it’s a bad as some are making it out to be. There still birds in the lower MS flyway. This year has been better than last year. We’re ~250 birds better with a week + to go.

Yes there are spots in Louisiana where numbers are still holding no one is arguing that. We are talking about the big picture not just "your blind". That seems to be the first thing weak minded folks want to defend. Numbers are up because "we" killed more. Not how it works. Your success if negated by 12 others that saw a decline or no change from last three years doesn't mean numbers are up are we are in a better spot. Last season was arguably one of the worst ever. My two spots were great we had increases at both..... didn't see me coming here and bragging. I seen the bigger picture. While my spots flourished everyone around me declined and every guide we seen and spoke with struggled. This year same two spots haven't seen anything close to 1- 2 man limit on a hunt.
