[QUOTE="tickweed, post: 5281225, member: 7928"] I have read the total number of waterfowlers has fallen, however in West Tn., it is hard to believe. Seems the reproduction cycle is shifting, sliding the last few years. This happens, we've had over 20 years of good success in breeding, so its time . I hunt alot. I know of three clubs in West Tennessee who are having decent seasons, but still below average. Lots of green wings, pintails, but mallards seem way down. Very warm weather, then rain, all tributaries out , what ducks we have are scattered. Properties values will fall, as well as lease prices. As stated ,most hunters now are way younger, dont know what we had in the past. Amazes me, we can put a muffler on a car, make it quite, but on a pro drive it sounds like a harley. Go in in the dark, run ever duck out of the bottom, every morning. Not hard to figure out. Pressure is killing West Tn. I believe the numbers are WAY down, and I also believe the flyway is shifting west somewhat. Sad [/QUOTE]
