erfect weather and everything but still no damn birds. This shite is getting pathetic. DU and Delta need to be held accountable for lying straight to our faces about the duck population numbers...

Numbers seen in KS and OK last week tell me, the numbers are right.


Years of degrading habitat, changing land use practices and ever increasing mechanized human activity in duck country in La - well those Coots have come home to roost! Add in the invasives like salvinia, cane bug and the number of storms this year.. that ain’t on du or dw. Or LDWF or Usfws

And just when we thought it couldn’t get any worse, they started using air boats to Crawfish.
I had to come to South Texas on a deer hunt, but the guys that went to our blind said the farmer had pumped it up so high, they couldn’t even hardly put out a full body goose decoy

There is still plenty of good habitat with far fewer birds than ever before. We have a lease in braithewait that would routinely produce 400+ birds in our blind just 4-7 years ago. We have had 3 good hunts the past three years.

I deer hunted in central Kansas all last week. Saw a good bit of ducks and geese until last Tuesday when the snow came through. Didn’t see a duck from Tuesday-Friday. Very few geese also. Saw a good bit driving I-35 through Oklahoma but not as many as I have in years passed.

ETA saw way more geese hunting Kansas in October

Add in the fact that ducks are imprinting on their new wintering grounds. Those birds will never come back to the coast and winter with all the heated ponds.
