Dude, prime blinds are $20k+ and prime marsh $100+\ac down here. Spoof thread to draw them out.
M O Miller if you have the $$$ to maintain the property and rent, anything over $20,000 a blind in N E La.
Rented some Miller once a Pon a time for $10,000 for two spots probably 600 ac in 2005. Killed 1,200 birds religiously for several years until the new land man decided cattle were bigger bidness. Last I heard those two spots were renting for ten times our original lease price.

Louisiana is no longer a destination spot for duck hunters.
The counts have been going downhill since 2000 and the last few years the counts have plummeted.
Decent blinds are now $15,000 plus a year.....and that gets you some teal, spoons, gadwalls and snows.
The days of mallards and pintail limits in pit blinds in NELA are gone and they ain’t coming back.
You have to have flooded timber to get mallards.

Explain to me the math of how it makes sense for people to spend the 10 to 20k on a pit?
You can go hunt a prime blind with a guide for 300 to 500 a gun for the day. The numbers don't add up. Why not hunt a different and awesome blind every weekend. A 20k marsh lease does make a little more sense, because you have multiple ponds or coves. I would go nuts hunting the same rice pit all year long.

Hardly anything makes monetary sense when it comes to leasing anything for hunting when you break it down but that’s for another day
Many blinds in north La are 10 man pits, not the 4 man pits that are everywhere in south La

You can’t buy your way in to the best duck hunting in Louisiana.

My farmer in s Illinois got all his corn in. Not sure about others though

hahaha. memories last the longest. let's do this fat neck! let's reconvene in the fall?

Not really, my old lease in the marsh still kills probably 50% mallards annually for $8/ac. Little less than a section with 500 birds killed yearly. Not as good as the P.I. lease but way better than most.

Looks like we have probably met a time or two bc I know that lease very well also lol

Maybe in 1995. They are 12,000-15,000 now and not worth a shite

Sure you can. Just have to have DEEP pockets of cash
Posted on 7/22/19 at 7:00 pm to joeleblanc
Some places maybe, a lot of places not.

Yes/No, old sw la club has two shares that aren’t getting sold for any amount of money. Would also guess most of the premier clubs aren’t looking for new money.

Wow, no wonder "water owners" are fighting the water access issue so hard. Literally lining their pockets.
