It's my understanding that habitat improvements up north and degrading habitat down here are the main culprits


That is what a big portion of the shortstopping argument is. More habitat up north keeps the ducks there. To sum it up: waterfowl fly south due to cold and lack of food. Some all the way to the Gulf, while others tolerate the weather when they find a good food source.

The habitat in Louisiana is changing. What used to be rice fields is now sugar cane. Not only is that not duck food, a sugar cane field wont flood like a cut bean, cotton, or other field will after a big rain. No water = no ducks.

Ducks don't make it this far south like they did decades ago. Do I think there is enough habitat up north to hold enough ducks to affect a whole state of duck hunters, hard to say. Personally I think the duck population is low. Why else would we have hard freezes, snow, ice, etc and still see no ducks? Up north is frozen solid in those conditions. Birds have to eat.

Ribeye and a baked potato.
Who is the shipping company? I know most (Amazon, UPS) take a picture of it delivered and it’s upload it to tracking. Never heard of your situation.

Wilson doesn’t really give a flip about being HC. He knows it’s temporary with zero responsibility. TD could call a better game.

He’s a very average coach with responsibility. No care to hold a HC title

Anyone else see the bright light with the haze around it south of Lafayette headed south? Clear sky. Just a single huge bright light with a sort of haze around it. Came from the NW and going straight south. Took a video but don’t know how upload that.
