FWIW we have hunted in the Delta for years and continue. Just don't talk about it. Loose lips....
The duck hunting has gotten so sporadic we hunt specklebellies almost exclusively til after Christmas. And for the record, we have not put out a duck decoy this season. In the past few days a 130 mile round trip ride we saw about 40 birds (quality) and a trip which gauged at 78 miles the next day we saw about 30. Granted lots of good holes are where I can't see them but after so many years we do know where they normally are. And this was Bolivar, Humphrey, Washington, Leflore and Sunflower counties which ain't exactly piney woods in the duck world! and if anybody ever goes by Yazoo City that reads here...there were no ducks in the cypress brake on 49 yesterday...

One more thing...figure out how much you can afford and what it's worth to you and don't include anymore members than you have to!
