I have never had a bad year of duck hunting because I give myself options when the ducks are not stacked up. It also helps that the wife is a fool about the ducks/geese and the dog trainer.

To the guys saying we need lower bag limits and less days, that is silly. I understand you want to drive folks out, but we have high populations of ducks and hunters. I would say that's a win. I much prefer have more folks hunting than more drug dealers. 90% of the fisherman I know have the best boats and equipment, but they can't catch a fish to save their life. The water is free and they fish in the best estuary on the planet. This example directly correlates with people's lack of success in duck hunting. They don't put in the time it takes to be successful and learn the craft. As far as the high cost of leases, it's supply and demand, get over it.

I just wanted to point out that your opinion loses all credibility on the matter when you have hunted public ducks ZERO days for the last several seasons...probably since ole Phil been on the tube. Things are different out there. You'll find out when you gotta go back to poor boying it.

Sabine used to be known as the "Boudin 500". Gentlemen, start your engines! Rule of thump was always keep hand/fingers off the sides of the boat. It was a bumper boat derby all the way to the humpback bridge.

I'm not going to sit here and agree that it's terrible, because there are plenty of good hunts coming off of public land.

Like I said previously, sooner or later the fad will end.

Well you just ruined public land hunting for me. Thanks.



Man is it really like that?

Just have to do your scouting and get away from the crowds. The best hunt I've had over there was walking into the flooded timber about 500 yards from the camp ground didn't even have to get into the boat races.

The old "Apex Predator" from that other site wrote an article about that. he shows up at 4am at the honey hole with 4 or 5 hanging lights and puts them up around the pond to make it appear that it's surrounded by hunters. :shaking:

I knew I would catch hell for that. But really, I would rather see all these lil knot heads duck hunting than doing God knows what instead. Everyone talks about how they want to involve more people in hunting, then complain when more folks get involved.

Anyway it's going to be a hard year for us. The El Niño crap is back and it's going to stay warm to the north.

It's a matter on principle that most duck hunters don't have anymore; and that's paying too much money for a ****ty blind.

Stop spending $4,000+ on a garhole, if you look hard enough you can find a garhole for $1,000.
