Had two friends hunt Reelfoot over this past weekend, they killed one duck! Must be a terrible year for ducks this year?

Doesn't surprise me. Was this a draw blind?
Not surprising at all.

Probably the worst year I've ever seen.

- Hunted eastern Arkansas Friday/Saturday on our lease. Never fired a shot in 2 days. Few ducks and what were there flying very high and no interest in a call. Calling only made it worse. Our lease has killed less than 25 ducks this year.

They did not fire a shot this morning on the north end of the lake. I believe blind 55

Our pit is in Kennett MO. We are at 23 for the year. And 7 of that number is snow geese. It was my first year hunting a pit and it has been a huge disappointment to say the least. Learned a lot of lessons though.

The lease is in Twist/Earle Arkansas just into Arkansas. We have had it for 7-8 years. I believe we paid $6500 this year. Typically been a good spot but this year has been terrible.
I would say the farm is well over 1,000 acres and the past two years they have started to complete disc all the fields in the fall because it has been so dry. In my opinion this has really hurt the hunting. I understand why they do it from a farming perspective but not conducive to holding ducks on a location. We had standing beans on one side and rice on the other so we had food, just no ducks.
We're at about 100 for the year. Outside of Earle. Pretty awful the last 5 years.

Just hunted Strait lake not far from there. We did good on the few days I was there.

they used a guide. not sure which one. I also inquired with a guide about hunting one of the two Sundays in Feb for ducks, since I am a Veteran. The guide suggested do not even bother coming.

Thanks to all my fellow Veterans, "all gave some, some gave all." Also, to all those who support Veterans and especially a shout out to all our military families and spouses, they are often the heroes!
At least he was honest enough not to take your money !
I don't know why he would say that. A lot can change between now and then. Especially with the rest periods in-between.
I recall members on here last year saying the youth hunt was incredible. But conditions were icing up surrounding backwaters, leaving only the holes at Reelfoot itself open.
Been a great year with Moore's guide service....we are full I am sorry to say...5 man limit today. South end of the lake has struggled. Tough couple of days when the river was rising. Hope the last 10 days will be strong

I know some quail hunters who are as "in to" quail hunting as the most avid of waterfowl hunters are "in to" duck hunting, and I'd say bobwhite quail might be more expensive, and so costly, it's by the ounce instead of the pound!
