18 teal in 15 min….lots of birds…we decided before the hunt to get our birds and get out to try to prevent from running the birds out.

Made a loop through little chenier to grand chenier then back to creole and up to cameron prairie today…..not really impressed with numbers of birds. The water still looked extremely high which may be the reason for the lack of birds but the numbers were comparable to what was seen 3 months after Ike last year.

Well with over 2 foot of water in our pond, the majority of our birds are gone. With water in every empty field North of us, the birds have scattered out. So, what opening day bring us is hard to say. We are trying to lower the water level but slow going. Will just have to see how everything plays out.

FYI to duck hunters. One of my labs have been diagnosed with a early case of Heart worms. He has started the treatment. In talking to my Vet, he told me that the heartworms are becoming resistant to Heart gard and Interceptor medicines. There is a new medicine out I think made by Advantage. Owners might look into this medicine.

Thought we might take some specks after the duck season closed but nope, it’s over!!!! All in all a poor season. Just no new birds after Thanksgiving. The warm stretch in early December had birds moving and staying North of us. In talking to most hunters in the SW. La. area, reports were about the same, the second split was disappointing. We, in Southern Louisiana, could stand several years of no hurricanes, in order for our marshes to start to return to normal. I blame this factor on the reason for such a poor second split area wide. The one good part of the hunting season was the working of my lab that I purchased in Tennessee a couple of years back. Spent most of my time during the season watching and enjoying seeing him work. There is just something about a good Lab that really make the hunts more enjoyable. He probably found 20 to 30 birds that we could have never found. So till next year!!!!

I did not hunt the last weekend of duck season. 3 guns hunted both days and totaled 10 ducks and 5 specks. This weekend 2 guns hunted specks and did not fire either day. Im glad its over! All in all it was a good season for us and thanks to the teal for staying with us for the most part.

Still lots of birds in the area just no new ones and they all have my blind gps marked to avoid. 2 guns We left the duck blind at 8 with 8 ducks and 1 speck. Went to the goose blind (layouts) and killed 3 blues and a speck. Tomorrow we will decide whether to stay in the duck blind or go to the goose a little sooner as they quit moving about the time we finished setting up.
