I remember hunting the 3 duck limit days as a teenager. I seem remember seeing more back then even when the limit was 3.
Before that we had the annoying point system.

I guess sugar is more profitable...or more heavily subsidized.
It's both really. Some sugarcane farmers are paying well over $100/acre for land...no one else except developers can compete with that.

The conversion to sugarcane is one thing hurting Vermilion, Acadia, etc. Don’t know how much of this is happening in those two parishes to the west
I believe this is the main reason in south Louisiana. A lot of farmers are planting beans and sugar cane where it used to be a lot of rice. I also think people that still have bug rice farms are starting to farm crawfish earlier in the year which keeps the ducks from sticking around.

I can drive for miles and miles of flooded rice in NEA during duck season and see very few ducks. These fields aren’t even being hunted, and still no ducks. My farmer told me that better harvesting practices combined with regrowth after harvest leaves very little for the ducks to eat. Driving down to my camp this weekend, and saw all these harvested rice fields and every one was full of new growth. This combined with no cold weather is part of the problem we have around here.

Spinning wing decoys in Canada has more of an effect than we give credit. I agree with all of the other reasons too.

Ag practices- more free food left behind.
In S Louisiana, lots of rice, flooded millet and soy beans have been replaced by sugar cane. Last I checked, ducks don't eat sugar cane.

You seriously don't believe this is a factor right?

I always thought it was the nets
