re: Flyway Federation of Louisiana?

Get yall popcorn. The piss poor duck hunters in the fed are going to be blaming everything except their skills or shite lease for low kill numbers tomorrow.

So I just got sent this via text. This can't be real. Tell me it's not real.

Lmao! This shite just gets better and better. As if that doesn't happen in Louisiana, and it's definitely simulating the natural flooding of those flats if not for the severe degradation of hydrology in river systems caused by human manipulation.

Hopefully they will start giving up leases...I’ll be in right behind them to scoop it up

I was trolling the shot out of them a couple of weeks ago; not sure how I didn’t get banned.

I miss being able to drop in and troll every now and again.

Well yall made me go look .so a bunch of everyday guys are tryin at some level to help the sport of duck hunting in our state and you troll them !how wonderfull!oh by the way super hen!!!whats she do do call trip adv to check out what the coast is like this week.stop drinking Du.s coolaid ,

No not so much ,but the fact is pin pushin richboy,s who will just pay someone to shoot over a baited plot and greedy guides who set them up are killing hunting in all forms.i beleve sportman,s paradise means more than sitting on ur tail drinking beer watching a bunch of over paid loudmouth,s chase a ball

Well, you tried but failed.

It's unfortunate that Goins has taken to cyber tyranny, straw-manning every person who questions his logic, and then banning them. He is a motivated guy and has a lot of energy to try to get things done but I'm pretty sure the angle he is taking is going to get him nowhere. It's imperative to have people who are willing to put in work for the sport, but I do not like the conspiracy angle he is trying to spin in regards to Larry Reynolds as if he is some sort of double agent for DU.

I believe in the theory that a fair number of ducks are being short-stopped. We will never change that. That is only one factor though, of a handful of other contributing factors that are all actually conceivably changeable.

Here's one: if you want Pas a Loutre to hold 20 fold the number of ducks next year that it has had for the past several years, ban surface drives completely (currently they are banned after 2 pm which does not help). I have no problems and actually encourage SD's on private land, you do you, but on public land, surface drives just became a problem that most of us never imagined. The marked difference in the number of birds on pas a loutre wma vs Delta NWR is not some anecdotal BS suggestion,,, it's undeniable evidence of the effect that those boats (and the overall hunting pressure they allow) have on a population of birds in an area. Those two areas are separated by a mere 3 miles and have the same terrain and vegetation, only one difference is surface drives aren't allowed on Delta NWR.
For some anecdotal BS... we used to hunt a public nwr back in 07 with a huge pond, half public half private, same pond. The private guys used SD's and you could see how tore up their section of the pond was. No veg. Clumps everywhere, just frickin ugly. We had so much wigeon grass it was hard to paddle. Those guys struggled and we consistently put straps of 3-4 man limits together, and close enough to hear them yell at their dogs. To be fair they hunted out of their boat and it looked like a hot dog stand in the middle of the marsh so I think if they would have just hid their boat somewhere and got down in the marsh they would have done better. That pond has since been turned into a bombsite by coastal restoration projects, so we will see if it ever comes back and holds waterfowl again.

TL;DR: There are things that can actually be changed to help the duck situation but Goins is focusing on the one thing that we will never change.
