re: This is the worst duck season I’ve ever seen

Arky game and fish leased a 500 acre field of beans and rice for a rest area. It is right next to what was my buddy's best pit last year. There are regularly 10k birds on it and every bird that sees it is going in there. You can't compete with that many live birds.
The rumor is that game and fish paid $50k to $70k for the field. The farmer told someone he would have had to lease 10 pits on it to make what they paid him.
There are so many fields not being hunted, I am not sure I understand the logic of them paying that much for a rest area.

Something doesn’t add up there.
A 500 acre block of soybeans at an average yield is worth 250k+... More if it’s rice.

They couldn't sell the soybeans this year. If he planted them probably made a profit from leasing the ground to the feds

Been in a lease for 5 years with a slough that floods late in the year. Hunted it about 10 times and only missed a limit twice before this year. Hunted it this year and scratched!

Where exactly around Lake Village? We hunted and Bonita Saturday and East of sunshine close to boeuf today and didn't pull the trigger. Heard some shooting Saturday but didn't see a whole lot of birds, had more birds today as well a some high flyers coming in on this front but we had about 400-600 on the property next to us so we couldn't pull anything down competing with live birds.

Is rice usually rented on cash or percentage up there

I agree. People on the river have had only success I’ve heard about.

I’ve got a place I can go kill a limit of ducks every day. Literally every single day. Always different ducks every day. Don’t know why. But they are littered in there. Like people tell me all the time that I could and should charge serious money to bring folks because they’ve never seen anything like it.
Saying that, this year...I don’t know that I’ve seen a duck. This is bad.

Cash rent most of the time. I know of a couple places that have a percentage lease, but typically it’s cash.

Seems to me like ducks have shifted back to their traditional migratory pattern this year....I saw few in the MS Delta, but did well in Cameron Parish, La. Kind of the opposite of what we have dealt with over the last decade or so.

This year still better that 86, 87.... also 92 was pretty spotty if not bad.... heck 89 was weak until the christmas freeze.. We have been on an incredible run since 97...this was bound to happen...but this weekend lots of new flight birds arriving yesterday and today.

The last 15 days of 97, all of 98 and 99 spoiled a lot of people for a long time since. Late 80’s were worse than today by far. Sat many hours in a blind to see one teal in 3 days. Lots of scratch hunts back then. Things have slowly changed since 2000 and In strange ways. From later and later migration to bird species shifts. We are killing birds in the marshes of SWLA in the last 5 years that we only read about in field and stream.

us people on the river haven't done that well either. Guaranteed three woodies a day...but big ducks are few and spread out over all the water. River came up in October with those late hurricanes, flooded everything and never went down. The weekly rains haven't been helping either. You can get lucky and find a hole where they like to rest. But most of the time you are riding around in the boat looking for them and then maybe have a shot at small group of pintail or mallards and then they're gone.

I wonder if El Nino and this relatively moderate temperature across the US has had more effect than DU has?
