No shite. Real talk, that truck bed of shells would probably last me the next 30 years

Only 5-6 cases will likely be used for ducks. The rest are for cormorants, egrets, herons, and white pelicans, Antifa. I have a depredation permit for the catfish farm

First year I can remember that everyone is just.... meh. Normally everyone is getting teal fever and talking guns, gear, dogs, and scouting. Just looking over numbers the past years I'll be lucky to stay in the game after this season.

I wonder if anyone has given the thought of selling hunts to do this sort of thing? Similar to Argentina dove & pigeon hunts... Would it be legal if you had proper permits for the farm or would the individuals shooting have to have their own permits?

It would be. However I’m very limited on kill numbers for each species. There used to be a federal depredation order on cormorants that allowed unlimited kills on those but thanks to the liberals they ruined that 5-6 years ago, now it’s on a per farm permit and I only get 435 cormorants a year. Pelicans it’s 40. Couple hundred of herons and egrets

When we had the unlimited order we used to let some Georgia military baws come shoot cormorants while they were on leave. They did it to keep their skills honed, and we would give them gas and ammo. They killed 10,000 in a month once

Ready, yes. Expecting anything remotely resembling a decent season, no. Headed to Missouri for Thanksgiving week to do some duck hunting and bow hunting. My dad's software provider has a farm set up for duck hunting and he's letting us come hunt it. Trying to get my daughter on a buck with her bow and my son on some mallards.

I don't know how legal it was but when I was a young man I did some guiding in Stuttgart and there was a minnow farm between Clarendon and Stuttgart and I got to be friends with the owners son....they claimed to have a depredation permit from the Feds and we shot the shite out of those ponds without any regard to a limit. Surprisingly still very weather dependent...if the birds got stale in the area they were stale on those ponds just like they were everywhere....shooting pressure no doubt played a roll in it.
I do not know if they actually had a permit or not....I never saw it and never thought to question until many years later. I know they kept it very low key....I attributed this to them not wanting people pestering them about hunting those ponds but in retrospect I did mention to them one time that I was making $75 - $100 a day per gun calling for people in the Bayou Meto, walking in, and coule probably get $300 a day for those ponds which I would split evenly with them....neither were remotely interested. Again, I was young, dumb and full of sort of vile shite so I chalked this up to them not wanting people pestering them about hunting that place. Couple this with the fact that Canvasbacks were closed back then and this place would be crawling with Cans and they wouldn't shoot them makes me question the validity of their "permit".

We used to have a season on water turkeys in Georgia. When I was a kid it was common for people to hunt them. I was a young kid but I can remember hunting Lake Seminole with my dad and uncle and there were people all over the lake shooting comorants. It seems like it was either a one or two week season and may have been some measure to protect fish in the shallow lake allowed by the feds, I don't know, but it was fun....and, believe it or not, they are as good on the table as a ring neck and far better than a snow goose.....I know thats hard to imagine but they arent horrible....

Depredation deer tags in Georgia belong to the land owner and they can give them to anyone they wish....or were 20-30 years ago.....I had an employee who farmed about 2000 acres between Athens and Lincolnton and he and his buddies could kill 20-30 deer a night and never make a dent in the damned things....and when they did make a dent in them the hogs would move in and make even more trouble...
