[QUOTE="double browtine, post: 5397941, member: 9490"] I last hunted public land for ducks about 17 years ago. I now hunt on private land, however I haven’t bought a duck stamp and hunted the past 4 years. Duck hunting is not what it used to be. I grew up hunting Springville Bottoms with my father in the early 1980’s. Back then duck hunting was great. Then I went a few years without hunting and then when I was in my early 20’s I started hunting private land and along the Cumberland river close to some of the better private duck sanctuaries. I hate to say it but I may not ever duck hunt again! The cost is definitely not worth the amount of meat that you get. It’s probably cheaper per pound to go on a guided elk hunt than it is to duck hunt for a season. And ducks don’t really taste that good. I would much rather eat deer or fish. In closing I will say that the TWRA has really lost A LOT of money, by how they have changed things these last couple of years and will be losing more $ due to more people dropping out of duck hunting.
