Well I sure hope that will be the case for this year have a lease in Delacroix n Reggio area...Im not sayin it ain't possible but what is gunna hold those ducks there?

I don't hunt southern la for ducks, but I know you're right. You will work harder for the birds with more area to cover and the reward will be that much better. Everyone says 'so much for this year ' when they have not looked at the bigger picture. Most of America is in a drought. Crops being cut early, water drying up, cows harvested early, fires in the Midwest. They will come probably twice as hard as last years first split. No need for a freeze we have food and water when no one else does.. Odds are in your favor. screw a hurricane you're a coonass. How many hurricanes you see in a lifetime? You're still here cause Cajuns always prevail! Remember it's hunting not killing. Hunt em' up and cut em'

You hit the nail on the head 225quackaddict!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL get ducks no matter what. After 46 years of hunting these birds I know the game plan.

Like Mike, I (The Duckbusters) have been at this a long time and I think it'll be great. And don't forget the super low river has burned most of the food in the delta. The last time they had to build a slii in the river to protect the water supply for Plaquimines in 1989 the season for us in Lafitte was spectacular.

Mike

you know me i always get my ducks with years like this you have to move around till you find them they will come beleave me

ye you right, should be good. if it remains dry in the middle and northern parts of the flyway the birds will come south like we have not seen in a long time. pressure and food sources will determine who has a good second half of the season though
