Ah yes, the perfunctory rowed up mud hole. No food, no birds and a PITA to set out and pick up decoy spreads. Dryer winters are leading to more and more of this dictated by normal farming practices to proceed when possible, with no decrease in lease price to compensate.

As said earlier, I hope we’re in the bottom of a long, slow dip and that it will turn around, again! Got a buddy that’s been driving out and hunting small cattle ponds in TX and he sends pics of “tennis shoe” hunts with limits in 30 min...like it used to be on MS Delta & Arkie hunts. Seems the flyway is shifting west, more.
