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.

I went to Arkansas duck hunting. I am convinced that is why ducks are moving west or not coming to Louisiana. It is Corporate Greed like crazy. It is an entire industry.
Every field has a blind or two and flooded. Hunters every where. It is insane.
