84 teal in 6 hunts in the Grand Chenier marsh. Not fantastic but not bad either.

I have had no issues with a 2019 Rebel. One of the more common issues is the rear window leak.

I have a 2019 with only 45K. He may have bought it in 2020 like I did.

re: Chevy 1500 or Ram 1500?

I had 2 Chevy LTZ's before switching over to RAM in 2020. There is NO comparison in ride quality, as the RAM blows the Chevy out of the water in ride and comfort. I am still driving my 2020 Rebel, and the ride quality is as good as the day I bought it. I can't speak of the new Hurricane engines, and have debated trying one, but just can't pull the trigger due to my truck being paid for with low mileage.
We went 23 days without power. I live just north of the Cal/Cam line. Filling gas and changing oil in 2 gens became a way of life. We had power restored for less than 2 weeks before losing it again for Delta. Despite 120k in damage, we were very fortunate, as half the homes in our immediate vicinity were complete losses and had to be leveled. Only half of those families have returned.
We must not live far from each other....
Some terrific photos! As someone else mentioned, Peveto Woods west of Holly Beach, as well as Sabine Wetland Walkway are great places to get photos of the migrants, especially in the spring in late April and May. I have tons of photos from those areas but can't post without doing some editing. They have watermarks that would disclose my identity!
There was one last year that was one confirmed at the Cam Prairie Refuge. Had been displaced by one of the hurricanes. I think I remember another one around the SE end of the state that was also spotted last year.
Are you sure they are Martins under your deck and not swallows? Martins typically rely on houses put up by humans.
We have at least 8 and possibly as many as 15. Have consistently seen 8 for the past week or so, and counted 15 a few days ago at dusk. South of Lake Charles.

Have had a ZT Elite 48" for 3 years and no issues. I mow 2 acres in about 1 1/2 hours, and that is with a bunch of trees. Seat is very comfortable and mower is well built. I have the 725CC Kohler engine and it runs flawlessly.
Hunt in Grand Chenier north of the refuge. First week was good with mostly teal, a few grays and mottles. Killed 82 out of our pot hole first week 1/2, but been slow since then. Won't be going back til second split.
