Lacassine or Sabine
 

What are your thoughts on hunting these two refuges. Which one has better hunting? I've got a duck lease but would like to try something different sometime this year. Has anybody heard reports from either refuge? Thanks!

we hunted lacassine and did not do good, very few ducks flying around. we are going to sabine wed. to try it out. so dont know what to tell you. the ducks are just not here yet

Thanks Cricket. Let me know how ya'll do.

lacassine has been better for the past few years, even a little longer

yea, we smoked them last year on the second split at lacassine

talked to a guy this past wednesday on my way down to the lease in johnsons bayou and he said he's been doing good in sabine. Then on the way home I saw a good bit of birds in the ponds on side of hwy 27 so thats a good sign. I know we are slowly seeing more and more birds every trip still nothing good though.

Cricket,

Sent you a pm.

Lacassine hasnt been doing any good from the people I have talked to might want to try Sabine and good luck

The birds are down fella's, they just aren't moving during the daylight hours. Our lease in Grand Chenier is holding thousands of ducks..... but
only in the grass. The high water we recieved the 1st of November is still on us and the birds are using it to their advantage. Little Pecan had a war Sunday but only because of their ability to control the water on their 12,000 acres. What we need is, a week of 15 mph North wind to blow some of this water back into the gulf.;)

seen thousands in ark this weekend maybe they will be headed this way after this front...almost all of them were greys and mallards

How's it been for yall down in JB? Haven't hunted down there in over a week. It had slowed way down then.

wednesday i saw a lot of birds considering what i have been seeing but they wouldnt come any closer than 75 yds and just flying by not wanting to decoy only shot one teal, then saturday didn't see hardly any ducks but did get 12 to decoy and shot 5, had a flock of 6 teal but a little far out they wanted to sit down right outside the decoys we shot but didnt get any. I put out 2 dozen decoys wednesday then saturday tried 6 dozen. Seemed to help a lot and dang robo melted to fuse holder so im going to have to figure something out.

how high is the water up there right now?
