Everybody that wanted to let the season go to end of January in the coastal zone (now west zone) will likely get their wish next year
Will be the same old complaining, but will be complaining while sitting on a mud flat waiting for the tide to rise

Perhaps opening the season in January like many wanted is the answer

Y’all keep saying this and hopefully don’t believe it
The ducks are counted the same way they always have and numbers extrapolated same way they always have
When we have a serious drought in the prairie pothole region (it will happen, we have been real lucky for a long time), our season and limits will be reduced.

It will happen and hopefully you are correct....otherwise the few who may want to hunt in the future will have nothing to hunt....

Then what will the Flat Bills, Voodoo exhaust & White Oakleys do?

. New combines leave very little grain, laser leveling, new rice varieties leave little red and black rice.
How would laser leveling affect the ducks?
Yea rice and bean fields are way cleaner as far as weeds go
On the combine thing, they are more efficient and leave less grain % wise but yields are also way higher now so even its a smaller percentage there is still plenty of grain left out there
And that's not even considering weather related incidents of grain being knocked on the ground

Believe that there is incentive to fudge them? Yes, there is, all you have to do is look at the funding.
Now whether is it being done or not can be debated.

I never hunted during the "golden days" but I will say this season for us around Point a la hache/delacroix definitely had more species of ducks they just never stayed around.
Like two weeks we had widgeon. Then buffle heads, red heads, and the last few weeks pintail, and canvasbacks. I think new ducks came down albeit not in any crazy numbers, but I think the storms killed us this year. I think we would have had a pretty good season they just had no feed to stay in the marsh. Look at Venice this year it's a ghost town for birds.

You might go to Kansas. Even Oklahoma which I hunt annually was slow as shite. Birds just aren’t in the Ft. Cobb area like they used to be.

My coastal zone closes Jan 24. The coast is the last place they can migrate before Mexio and other states. but you got me.

. You can't have it both ways. You can't say corn and beans are all going up. Yet there's millions of fewer acres in total production. It doesn't work that way.
Yea you can when corn and bean replaced small grain production and cotton
LINK
Since 1990 Corn acres have gone up over 15 million acres and soybeans are up over 23 million acres
Wheat is down 17 million acres and cotton is down 3 million acres
Also oats, barley, canola, milo, etc are all down and there are less fields used for hay and less for pasture

Lasered fields drain quickly and do not hold rain water which ducks love to hit.

Hunted Biloxi marsh Saturday, saw 2 gadwall and got one.

Yea don't think they drain as fast as you think plus most of the non-crawfished stubble in S. LA is stopped up during the winter along with all the rice stubble in central and North LA and Ark but you could ride around all those places and see a small fraction of the ducks you used to see

It's well known ducks will not stay on fields that are being fished.
Yea depending on the amount of rain it takes some days but in the end it results in less water for ducks.
All of those handful of low acres on each field added up to a lot of acres of water.

They say posse is undefeated....I think ducks are almost undefeated. Both will make a man crazy.

Did you not read where I said non-crawfished stubble
I know of spots where there are 2000ac + blocks of rice stubble no crawfish boats around - some of it is buffaloed that used to be prime hunting and there might be 50 ducks on those acres today
If you took of from thornwell, went through gueydan then up through whiteville and followed the river up in to Ark there are hundreds of thousand of acres of non crawfished rice stubble that have water on them right now and have water on them all winter

Misread that.
I am not arguing, there is ton of flooded rice that see no ducks. I am not sure what you are getting at?

When you can buffalo a whole farm and not attract but a few specks you know times are hard
