[QUOTE="DeerWhisperer, post: 5550869, member: 10094"] Me Personally, I think it is a combination of all 3 but I think the weather has been the biggest factor. We had our worse season ever. We killed a total of 2 ducsk and 4 geese. We were hunting about 20 miles southwest of Jonesboro,AR. I have been hunting for over 20 years and the past 5 have far been the worst for me personally. Each year I keep thinking it cannot get worse but it does. I am honestly thinking about hanging it up. It is almost impossible to find a decent place to hunt without out driving hours away. When I was younger it was no issue driving 4-5 hours each way every weekend to hunt but with age, family and everthing increassing in cost the return is just not worth it anymore. Dont get me wrong, I absolutely love to waterfowl hunt, the sights and experiences I have had over the years have created memories I will never forget. We have a core group of guys that have hunted together for years, we all attend church together and time spent in the blind has been great. However, we are all thnking hard about giving it up after this year unless we can find a place closer. I absolutley love the sport but it is definitley not like it once was. [/QUOTE]
