It’s ima form of status symbol and or coolness. Never forget when my buddy called and said we were gonna have to stickler up so as to be a part of the movement. 😝 But the original I quoted. Today’s me Hunter can only relate to their experiences. If you only knew how it once was.

From what I’ve seen the duck hunters at the ramps are just there for the pics with all the “ toys” of duck hunting and think skybusting a few groups and picking up some grey ducks and woodies is what it’s about. Don’t think they know what it’s like to break ducks down and work em. There are definitely groups like this. But don’t be fooled, there are still groups of young guys out there doing it right and working decoying ducks. I’m friends with a few of them. There’s also a surprisingly large amount of private duck “clubs” in N. Alabama that people not from that area probably don’t know exist or how many ducks they kill a year.

There’s also a surprisingly large amount of private duck “clubs” in N. Alabama that people not from that area probably don’t know exist or how many ducks they kill a year. This is true to but they’re not killing the numbers nor seeing the numbers that once were here. There’s no comparison to today what I saw during the 80s on Pickwick. I’ve seen horizons filled with ducks during the late season. Thicker than black birds. I’ve seen them flying over the bridge in Decatur like that too. Maybe been the 90s there. Public land other kill because they have a rest hole not far away. One of the keys to having ducks. There are no rest holes around Pickwick and the ducks are harassed relentlessly. Those are just facts. You can find ducks here and there if you put the time in. It used to not be near that difficult
