2 or 3 years ago my buddy went to stuggart ark. On a guided hunt. When they got there almost all the fields were froze except the ones that the guide service had kept the water open, and he took video of ducks by the thousands in them and also the canals and ditches that the birds were keeping open themselves. This hybrid rice is gonna kill alot of the hunting down here if it's gonna continue to be planted.
I can show you videos of thousands of ducks in several places in Louisiana any time during the season, any time. They have ducks but we have MORE. They may have more mallards, but we have more ducks.
