cody you know you want to kill more than 3 mallards a morning haha

I can sacrifice for the sake of duck hunting.

Bottom line is with the duck numbers we currently have 60 days does not hurt a thing. It doesn't matter what other hunters are doing out there, as long as there is birds let us hunt. A 60 day/5 duck limit would be fine with me, but don't take the number of days we have in the field away from us. 30 days for people who can only hunt weekends is just plain unfair. I don't think the 30 or 45 day season will happen, but just wanted to get yalls thoughts.

I would also like to see a ban on mechanical decoys and limited ammo on refuges.

Damn you folks have no idea how the seasons are set or what limits bird take. Look up Adaptive Harvest Management(AHM) and do some learning. Reducing the limit will do nothing. Reducing the number of days is the only way to reduce the harvest. Been proven time and again.

I could care less about the flappy ducks, they don't really work down here. The ammo thing would be nice if it could be enforced. But we both know it cannot. Just like running boats through the marsh. No one cares about the laws.

I just want the flappy ducks outlawed so people will learn how to hunt instead of just stick a spinner in the mud and sky bust everything that flies over.

U can take der spinners but it won't stop da sky busting.

apples and oranges

skybusting, using lead and killing over the limits are a cultural thing and passed down from hunter to hunter.

no matter what days you have or limits poachers and outlaws will be out there.

What the limit of days would do is push away every newby want to be duck hunter.

I am not FOR the limited days for a long term, all we would need is a few years.
You could get great deals on the baddest, fastest, muddest mud motors out there and 3 1/2 inch Berettas and Benellis would be on every pawn shop shelf around.

And leases would go down.

The effects on the ducks would in all likelyhood be minimal.
The effects on hunters would be worth it.

I guess we should only be able to use single shot shotguns and limit the amount of decoys you can use to....

Harvest management needs to improve to the states north of us. I am not a duck hunter, but have learned about harvest management.

Well did you learn that AHM is federal and that ducks are federally managed because they migrate unlike deer? Meaning, duck regulations, seasons, and limits are flyway wide and that includes every state in said flyway! I can't believe you would make a comment like that when you don't anything about how it works.

More reason for me to deer hunt more. Lol

Fine by me.

Well, feesherman, with more habitat being manipulated to the north of us, it has the potential to influence the ducks to stay there. If you want more ducks to make it down here, there has to be more to make it here. I am not stupid. Town house ball come get some. Ill pull up some numbers for you.

Bwahahaha com git sum. Town haus bawl

Gotta keep his spirit alive.


Feesherman, I heard they are hiring a new flyway head manager. Maybe with your extensive knowledge you should apply.

At least I have a hint of a clue on what I am talking about. How about you tell us how you are going to make all those private land owners change the way they manage their habitat for ducks in those states north of us just so us poor old Louisiana boys can still have our share. I mean since you know so much!

As much as we gripe about duck hunting the fact is Louisiana kills more ducks than ANY state PERIOD. We got it better than most, but for the record I hate spinners, and anyone with a sticker on their barrel:grinpimp:
