Talked to a guy today that said he’d live to see it go back to 3/30. I agreed wholeheartedly.
It’s gotten stupid and if you don’t have deep deep pockets duck hunting gonna be sporadic at best
I agree completely. Sadly so much money has been poured into the state and local economy they’ll never change it. Best we could hope for are rest days or split seasons.
What got me going the other day was talking to a guy that’s hunted some of the best holes from the Delta thru Arkansas and over to Reel foot since the 90s, his family has connections. He made mention it’s been downhill since 2017 forward. Hes 15 years or so younger than myself and made mention his son will more than likely, will not know what it was like.
I have been lucky enough to hunt two really awesome places going back to the late 1980's. Chances made it where 2 of my best friend's families' farms are adjacent to wildlife refuges. One in MO and one in S. Illinois. I agree with the around 2017 time frame on ducks. Gone are the days of limiting out in an hour on ducks and geese. Now we get excited when we think we see a few new birds flying. That and killing a few local Canada geese.
