Duck hunting has been in a decline for longer than four or five years….way too many reasons to point to any singular factor but a combination of all leads us to this point. I do think the biggest factors are weather cycles (like fifty to hundred year cycles), I think the boom in snow goose populations, farming and other land use practices, and equipment advances have forced ducks to change their habits and flyways…I have had better hunts on non desireable waters than in traditional duck hunting meccas.
admittedly, I think the internet has helped devalue my own enjoyment at times by seeing others success when I may be lacking.
