Why do you say public land is not much of an option?? I know tons of people that hunt WMA's and do really well consistantly. Yes the hunting is a little more work, but usually produces plenty of quality ducks.

Big deer come out of WMA's. It takes time to scout it and to know how to hunt it. I just feel safer knowing im on my own lease and who is there with me. I've climbed too many trees on WMA's to find out once the sun comes up that there is someone sitting a couple hundred yards away from me in another tree. When they are ready to go, they climb down, fire up a four wheeler down the trail, and make all kinds of racket on their way out. It can be good hunting, just takes time and patience.

1. I duck hunt only,WMA,NWR's are not managed for the hunter to kill ducks on.
2. Pressure, the same idiots I see on the lake are on the refuge systems wandering around clueless.
3. At 45 I have done my time hunting public,if that is all there is I would rather sell my equipment and find another hobby.

I understand your frustration with WMAs and finding a lease. I have been trying to find a decent lease since Rita and grew up hunting WMAs. I just hate to see people quit hunting because of all the obstacles that are presented to us now. Something good will come up eventually.

I gave up a lease in JB in 07 and ducks were nonexistant there for 4 years before that. They absolutely hammered ducks last year out there and several of those leases were leased by new leasees last year.
