Struggles Continue SE Louisiana - Bag Heads Come Out
« on: December 23, 2019, 07:06:46 AM »
For many years I have posted many pictures of the same guys on the same dock holding handfuls of ducks and pouledeau. We were excited about the prospects of the second split since the aerial survey reported more ducks in the state but our woes continue. Not sure why our area is suffering but it is. Sure we wish we had more duck action but not shooting limits will not detour us from having a good time. We thought a throwback to the bags on the head that were reflective of the Saints of the past having bad football seasons as we are having a bad duck season. All we can hope for is much like our Saints there was always “next season” hopefully we will have ducks “next season”.

Date Hunted: 12/21/2019:

In the rain two boats went out. 0 ducks were shot for the effort. Both boats gave it up around 8:00 to get dried out.

Date Hunted 12/22/2019:

The water came up over night for a tide on the high side. Very cloudy conditions with a real nice breeze out of the north. One of the darkest boat rides out to the blind in a long time, we all guessed right. Real nice conditions for a duck hunt. Two boats went out. We put out 48 decoys, 2 spinners and 4 flickers in our pond. Each blind shot one duck. We shot a dosgris and the other shot a blue winged teal in the picture. That’s it for the day. Stopped hunting at 9:00am.

Some guys we know hunt in SE Louisiana shot some limits over the weekend so not everyone is struggling as we are. Happy to hear some are having success.

Merry Christmas to everyone and happy hunting.

Any indications of what the culprit(s) is to why the ducks aren't around?

Sorry you didn't "BAG" a limit. Someone needs to go have a talk with the guy that invented climate change  :chuckle:

There is a break in the Mississippi River levee not far from us so we now have a decent amount of fresh water in our marsh where it was brackish.  That has changed from our past but I am not sure that is the culprit because they kill ducks in fresh water at the end of the river.  We have vegetation in the ponds and have had cool weather, it's not that.  Its just the way it is and I hope it changes back to what we had.  We will see.

 Thanks for the update and laugh from photo. Been slow inland here. Though a bunch did show up at my place (finally) two days ago.
