Late Season Ducks

Date Hunted 1/14/23:

A real nice breeze blowing from the north, tides below normal, 39 degrees and slightly overcast skies. Very good conditions for a duck hunt.

The problem was the typical pattern of late season duck hunting. This time of year, the ducks usually stay…

Cure for Nutria Itch

August 30, 2014 at 3:05am

A few year back I developed a creeping eruption as it is called in medical books, better known as 'Nuria Itch'. I’ve had it 10+ times over the years and it always had to run its 8-14 course which starts on your leg and stops at the neck unless it has enough life to keep going back down again.…

Surface Drive Motors

David B.

August 22, 2007 at 3:41pm

I would like to get some feedback on surface drive motors being that they have been around for a few seasons now. I find it puzzling how you see a good bit come up for sale and most are fairly new. Are poeple buying them, not liking em and selling? We have been running go-devils for ever now…

12/17/22:

Start of the second split did not disappoint. Conditions were good for a duck hunt. North wind around 10mph water height was good with slight overcast skies.

We had a couple of shots early then not much happened for a while and I got worried this may not be a…

HIP Certification

September 26, 2007 at 8:37pm

Are you still required to carry the HIP Certification on your possession while hunting migratory game birds. Reason I ask is that I applied for my HIP the same time I applied for my deer tags. I have a lifetime license. Well, it came attached to the yardstick of deertags. I don't want to carry…

My Opinion on no ducks

I have been privileged to hunt ducks all my life in Louisiana. I had a uncle that took me when i was 9 to his lease in cameron and from then on it has been a addiction. I now have 30 years of experience duck hunting. I have chased them all over the state, been on good and bad hunts. I have noticed…

Amen! I've posted similar remarks of how the money goes to keep them from needing to migrate on a Facebook forum for duck hunters, i.e heated ponds and you'd swear I slapped their mothers.

Mermentau River

Anyone hunt ducks on the Mermentau River? We have some family land over there south of Jennings that butts up to the river. Just seeing if the hunting was good to see if its worth making the trip. Thanks

Lilbyrnzy

I live there, but can't say i know of anyone who hunts on the river, most people hunt rice fields around here. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to go shoot at least a few wood ducks and maybe teal.

Daniel Goldsby of Goldsby Retrievers in Amite is an awesome trainer and a heck of a guy. I highly recommend him for duck dog training.

Who do you recommend for transom repair?

November 07, 2014 at 1:06pm

Can anybody point me in the right direction for transom repair in the Covington/Mandeville area? I need some transom welding done to get me through the upcoming season before I can afford a new boat.
I have a little 14ft that has a crack in it on top.

Any help is appreciated.

Guys,what do you all think happened to the Delacroix/Reggio area as ducks are concerned? No storms this year,marsh is seemingly in good condition.Possible flyway change? Large numbers in SW LA.Looking like we may have to start traveling to get decent duck hunting like we do for deer hunting.…

Can someone tell me the pros and cons of a 26 inch barrel and a 28 inch barrel. Thinking of getting a new shotgun and cant decide which length barrel to get. thanks craig

duckhunter7777

Well I really dont think it matters, it might help if you are have a kid and need a shorter barrel. What really matters is the choke and not the barrel length.
