That’s funny for someone in LA to get sensitive about ooser pressure. I probably passed 20 mud motor rigs with LA plates headed south when I returned to Oklahoma from Thanksgiving.
When I used to hunt in Missouri quite a bit, almost every parking lot on the CA’s I frequented would have multiple rigs from LA or MS during the early bow season. The amount of LA folks that travel to hunt these days is staggering. I don’t blame them, because I moved out of the state because I didn’t want to have to travel that far for quality hunting.
But get ready, I’ll bet within a half decade you start to see some of these destination states put guardrails on the non resident pressure. OK already started this process with the increases to non resident deer tag costs.

My farm is located 70 miles southeast of Columbus Ga. Growing up me and 2 brothers 4 miles north were the only people that duck hunted for miles around. On any given day and on weekends there 3-4 hunts around us. Mine is a 15 acre cypress pond that has a mud flat that I can drain and plant. But these other places around me no doubt in my mind they are dumping corn.

Same reason coonasses have a hard on for coming up to North Louisiana , which by all accounts they loathe, to shoot deer.
Im from South Louisiana and been in a lease in Mansfield for over 20 years. It's much cheaper than a lease in south Louisiana. I live in Arkansas now so I can hunt both places.

I was just about to say.
The OP saying this is a textbook example of pot calling the kettle black.

Why is it cheaper?
I am assuming that if there is land that is dry in south LA that isnt developed or ag its probably pretty expensive

Native Georgian here--can confirm. We'd get all worked up over some woodies on a farm pond back home.

Good hunting leases in south Louisiana are 1500 a year at least. Probably has to do with the paper companies charging less because of all the pines.

All mudboats with the Georgia license plates lol. All have mud buddies and GTR’s behind their trucks.
Funny bc the guy I bought my mud boat from in Belle Chasse has a deer lease up here in Georgia. I don’t duck hunt Louisiana but maybe y’all oughta grow some deer and stop coming up here to kill ours.

Go to Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, or Kansas and see how many Louisiana plates are seen. Hell I’ve had quite a few customers from Louisiana in Minnesota this year. People travel out of state to go to better hunting. Who cares it’s good for everyone.

This is certainly true, but also an interesting discussion that could warrant another thread.
Anyone ever listen to the Mill House podcast? The host, Andy Mill, is big deal in the fly fishing (and also snow skiing) world and holds a bunch of records and tournament wins from tarpon fishing in the Keys back in the day.The general theme of his podcast is interviewing all the old salts from back then, and they almost inevitably resort to talking about " the good old days" without the tourists/boats/pressure/enviro problems. Andy's son, who is in his 30's, usually gets exasperated and says, "that's great and all, but I wasn't alive then, and THESE will be the "good old days" for my generation."
I think it's a great point about "good" hunting/fishing being completely relative, and the idea that we should appreciate what we've got because these things tend to slide in one direction. *That's* why folks are still willing to make the drive to LA, just like they're still hauling skiffs to the Keys.

Yep. Has there ever been a generation in America who had it better than the one before them, in terms of hunting and fishing access and opportunity?

Guarantee I see more Louisiana license plates killing 115” 8 points with crossbows in Illinois than you seen Georgia boys duck hunting.

I have a farm not far from there as well. I hunted Seminole as a kid. It was awesome. I smoked woodies on Talquin too. I now no longer waste my time. Too many yahoos for too few ducks.

Why bitch and complain about something generating money in the local community?

I can understand the sentiment for sure. However I can tell you that back in the early 80s we would catch flounder at point au chien as a last resort. And we could catch 100s of them anytime we wanted. Not anymore. They even shut down the season on them at times now.
I duck hunted Thorwell, gueydon, catahoula lake, and all in between for ducks. We had birds. Lots of birds.
Deer hunting now is way better than it ever was tho. A deer back then was a prized commodity. Any deer. Doe days were golden.

South Carolina have been coming to Catahoula Lake for generations to get guided. Some have bought blinds from folks. 
Most good folks though.
