Seems to have the ducks out of position. Limits are getting tougher, taking longer. Too bad it wasn’t open when that Polar Vortex came through last week..

Or maybe all of the water all over the place has something to do with it? I was in Monroe for the opener this past weekend, and that cold front dropped so much rain, the damn ducks could have sat anywhere they desired.

We blistered them this am in a “new” water spot we found

We having to go deep in timber for mallards this year.

Somewhat disappointing.

Teal getting slaughtered in rice fields earlier in week. It shut off Wed afternoon and Thursday morning - teal hauled it out of NELA.

The numbers are not there and the numbers have been dropping for years.

We only kill teal out of the rice fields now - just 20 years ago we would pass on teal so our limits would be mallards and pintail.

Ducks simply don’t come down this far anymore....and it is a shame.

But those blinds go for in excess of $15k a season - that won’t last.
