Gueydan checking in. Our season pretty much sucked. We hunted every weekend and a lot of days during the week and the birds just never made it there. We hunted stale birds all season long. Finished up with maybe 100 birds. Night and day difference from last year. Spending all that time and money is pretty difficult to swallow when you only average 2-3 birds a hunt. First time I've ever been glad it is over.

What you want to know? It's actually 35 acres I made a typo. It is in between raceland and St Charles on the back side of the 40 aren't canal.

Coastal Zone reports are as bad or worse than what we've experienced up here. A very poor season.

nevermind, not the same place I'm thinking of. my wifes friends family has crawfish ponds off of bayou folse rd, but they don't let anyone hunt it. It's always full of teal and dogris when I pass.

we did two hunts in lake boeuf, got a decent amount of ring necks and greys back there.

We did well what times I went. Johnson Bayou, Hackberry and a few trips to the Sabine Reserve. Probably made 15 hunts total in SWLA....only 3 times all in the reserve we missed a limit by 2 or 3 birds. That's with two or three of us hunting. Now a made 2 trips up to Toledo Bend for divers and it SUCKED this year. We got a few Canvas Backs early and nothing else flying at all except maybe woodies in the back of coves.....way to much damn water up there to hild anything.

I'm buying a swamp assassin hat before next year. I blame my slow season on not being outdoorsy enough #flatbillskill

Yee baw. I think my lack of success was directly related to me losing my Yeti hat to the Gulf of Mexico this summer.

No Yeti hat - no kill

Otis, I've heard nothing but horrible reports from the rice around Jones and Bonita this season. We are just NE of you around Lake Village and the last 3 weeks we have had some really good hunts out of nowhere but some of the rice around us has been barren still. We are on CRP/WRP holes and I think with all the water the birds are preferring that habitat this season.

Bayou Black - Orange Grove Area - Terrible. No vegetation, high water and no ducks. Apple Snails and Carp along with the intercoastal breaching into our lease at several locations have caused all vegetation to disappear. Killed a few during the first split - second split was pathetic - didn't even see ducks. Spent the last 4 weekends in the turtle bayou area at a buddies lease - we mopped up on ringneck over there. Had thousands of them.

Crappy season overall, though.

I know of a few people who have ponds off bayou folse road. One of them teal hunts. Is it on the bayou blue side or raceland side of bayou folse. Otto Candies owns the marsh on the bayou blue side of the bayou folse and neighboring our property.

My in-laws farm up around Wilmot/Parkdale/Eudora and it's been pretty slow to dead. I would love to know how Overflow is doing?

I heard it was slow but that was as of a couple weeks back. I think we must have one of the small pockets of birds around because two groups I talk to off 144 near Lake Village have been pretty slow. I know they've had a few good shoots off 52 on a couple of the places there. Typical for these wet years though is that the birds won't hang around after getting pressured at all with so many other flooded options. I've seen concentrations of birds in some very unusual places this year.
