Went to my friends duck club in Charleston, MS over the weekend. Lots of Geese flying high but nit many ducks. Managed to kill 4 on Saturday and got skunked on Sunday. He said it is the worst season they have ever had in the Mississippi delta.

Not much better in Arkie. Some are killing but it seems most are not.

It's getting hard to be a duck hunter in the south with all this warm weather. Last good season we had was 17/18 and we had 23 ice days during that season and we killed the chit fire out of the mallards.
It's been poor ever since.

Buddy sent a video of a Lake in Michigan that looked like the Realfoot photo from yesteryear....nuts. Proof that the majority of the migration has yet to happen.

When I joined the duck club in '13 was averaging 250 ducks a year, carrying 8 members. Last year we killed either 26 or 32 ducks, total. The duck club I joined is now a deer camp that I didn't sign up for...even dusted off the deer rifle and hunter's orange, after nearly 10 years of time off. I just don't have the desire to get up pre-predawn to hunt pine goat, like ducks.
Doesn't help that we have a "roadblock" landowner getting up in years and ornery...he throws up "roadblocks" at every turn...didn't even have water pumped on the opening day of duck season (IF we had birds). After telling us not to turn on the pumps, due to his soil sampler coming that week, and that he'd turn them on....he just didn't get around to it.

Based off personal observations and reports from friends, no one SAW a duck opening weekend in the Mississippi Delta. I know people that have been 6-8 times and haven’t averaged a duck a hunt. It’s amazing people spend time and money for that punishment.

There weren't even shovelers on the catfish ponds around Itta Bena at the start of the season. Just awful.

Rem270...it is the very definition of insanity! We haven't so much as made a plan to duck hunt, much less thrown out a decoy spread, at our place. Killed A mallard each at my buddy's place in Indianola, but it is and always has been a proverbial "X" for ducks (if they're anywhere near the tri-state area). Full traveler's moon, clear night and not a duck in sight...ride the moon, baby...ride the moon!
Just got off the phone with somebody who road the state and said they saw more Bald Eagles than ducks in the MS Delta!

Duck hunting has become more of status symbol than anything.

You right on that. There’s some real class A shitbags that screw folks on lease out west. But it’s a 2 way street. If some of those are stupid enough to pay some of those high $$$ then we’ll he’ll take it from them. Hate it’s gotten so bad for the duck hunters
