[QUOTE="Displaced_Vol, post: 5286083, member: 20484"] We’re probably shooting ducks too late as it is. I’m guilty as anybody we’ve always taken our big hunting trip at the end of the year and I look forward to it all season. but year after year shooting them after they’ve paired up probably isn’t doing them any favors. I don’t know or remember it but I’ve heard it was a bit controversial when the feds finally allowed the season to close January 31. A senator from LA or somewhere pushed that through but again I don’t know the details. I totally agree that we always seem to get more ducks after season closes. Biologists tell us it’s just the lack of hunting pressure and that if season closed Feb 15, we’d think the birds didn’t migrate until Feb 16. So I dont know but I think the fact that guns are going off in places where ducks and geese live from September through March has had an impact of their sensitivity to pressure, along with a lot of other factors. Go watch or listen to the State of Waterfowl on podcast or YouTube. The first one especially covers all these topics with some of the best minds in the duck world. There’s tons of questions we’ll likely never know the full answer to but it’s a great listen for anybody that’s serious about duck hunting. [/QUOTE]
