This is a reason why sportsmen from all over our state need to advocate and demand a 30 day later start to most seasons. Move archery deer from Nov 1 - Feb 28 etc. Out hunting weather conditions are 1 month later now. Our Oct weather we used to have now is in Nov. LA could still keep dove season in Sept to co-exist with corn harvesting, but start other seasons 30 days later and end them 30 day



Why possibly would y’all downvote this ??

I agree 100%

Oct sucks dick for hunting.
80-85 degrees most days
Misquotes snakes hornets

F that

Nov-Feb is what needs to be

Kemo Jr said he saw flight ducks all morning in grand chenier/little pecan bayou. Kilt a banded whistler in their 10 duck limit. Front ridge is full of ducks from rock west, creole ridge was sparse but there’s a lot of grass between the road and water.

There had been a bunch along my ride to the blind(Meeker exit for the locals), but I have not seen them there lately. Lots in the skies though.

Go listen to "Where are the ducks?" On the Standard Sportsman podcast.

We've had flock around Oak Ridge show up for the last 15-20 . I've seen as many as 300-400 some years. This year there are only about 50 to date. They showed up not long after the Eurasian Collard dove and a few years before the Frivolous Messican whistling tree duck.

Thanks for posting this. This should be required listening for all duck hunters. The points he made are very common sense based and supported by what everyone sees in the field. This isn't just a LA/AR problem, this is a duck population flyway problem. Question is how do we as hunters affect the change that's needed?

Ducks are here, more than I've seen in several years in Concordia Parish.

The snipe are really what I saw yesterday, so apparently the weather really pushed em.

Problem in that area, at least on public is the lack of water.

Glad the snipe and coots finally got off those heated ponds and flooded corn fields and heated earthworm fields. They have arrived for sure

We could all join together and start an organization that raises money for habitat improvement. I’m sure if we do that, everyone that cares about ducks will join up and help contribute. I mean, what’s not to like about that?
