Yes, it has help a lot.
no till farming up north has had more of an impact on our hunting here - than the next 3 things combined

and mud motors that are allowing hunters to access more and more property way too easily.

Yeah, although I would chalk that up as more of a factor in wintering range than breeding range.
Depends on how you look at it too. The move from rice to sugarcane in many areas in south Louisiana has resulted in a loss of habitat. Increase in rice farming in the Mississippi Delta in Arkansas has resulted in more habitat, which has resulted in less wintering waterfowl further south because of mild winters and ample amounts of groceries.

Not to mention the damage done on the coast, similar to the canals dug by the oil and gas companies, that is damaging habitat at an alarming rate...

They would run a thermometer up the ducks arse if they thought you were lying ..
I don't know why, but that made me think of this joke.
Boudreaux was on his way back from duck hunting with his limit and the game warden stopped him. He stuck his finger in the ducks arse and smelled it, he said this duck is from Kansas, you got a Kansas license? Boudreaux says "no". Next duck, this one is from Minnesota, you got a Minnesota license? Boudreaux says again "no". Game warden goes through all six birds and they are all from different states. He then looks at Boudreaux "where you from?"
Boudreaux pulls down his pants and says, " I don't know mother fricker, you tell me!"

Didn't he get in legal trouble before he died? Something about framing duck hunters?

I had heard that also. Was he just in the Monroe area or down south too?

Was checked by him at least 10 times. Never had a real issue. He was a prick, but not much more of one than most.
I never saw a thermometer pop out, not sure you could take that to court anyway, what if I had one in the blind that was first in and wasn't dead yet. Or found a cripple on the way out? I think the thermometer deal was a legend.

Im curious how exactly this has affected our hunting here.

Dude, if you saw all the feed that is left on the ground after harvest...

It leaves food in the fields. In the past they'd harvest the crops, then come back around and til it all under. Now with soybeans and corn they harvest it and it cuts it in one pass, then they don't come back to the fields until spring time. When they plant again the machine tills it right before the seeds go in. That's the basic concept, I'm not sure if its 100% accurate.
So theres food left in the fields now, so until there is snow on the ground many birds that can find open water have no reason to fly further south.
Don't forget some of the power plants keeping water open along with the no til fields.

And don't forget about the nets

Make sense. Should have thought of that before. DUH!!
IMO, it might change how much holding power an area has, but if it gets cold and snow covers it, those birds are moving. The problem is, we have a lot more years where snow doesn't cover it.
That being said, I still think weather is the #1 factor to what we do. I would even concede that weather and ag pratices are 1A and 1B.
