Where are they?

I'm not a duck hunter, but got an invite to hunt the central MS delta this weekend. Hunted 3x, we didn't pull the trigger a single time. Hardly heard any shots. There just aren't ducks in the MS delta right now.

It's prime duck hunting conditions. The days we dream of and reports are pretty dismal. Some scattered success. Duck hunting is becoming a past time… Sad state

Guys I was a guest of have zero sense.... paid $6000 for 200 ac flooded rice this year. Haven't killed a single duck off it.

The other 2 hunts were on their main club... 1600 acres just southwest of Greenwood against the hills across from Matthew's Brake. 5 holes chock full of flooded millet and milo. Not a single duck on them.

I don't get you duck guys. It's fun to arrange the spread and watch the dog, but besides that, I'd rather walk 100 miles turkey hunting just for 1 gobble.

Can't even watch the dog work on anything besides biscuits when it's like that

I'm not a duck hunter either. Been invited and hunt a couple times around the house when we get them on farm ponds. But what my buddies spend on duck hunting to not fire a shot is absolutely crazy to me. But all say the same thing when they do it and do it right it's a sight to see. I haven't ever been on a good hunt so wouldn't know.

I will say this as a deer and huge turkey guy. It seems to me that ducks and duck hunting is getting dangerously close to a point of no return.

Can anything be done? If so what? Seems like to many people not enough good spots? What does it look like on 5 or 10 years? Has to be frustrating to the guys that have been doing it for years. I know for me what happened to turkeys in the last 10 years the flares went up and for the most part hunters came together way before wildlife agencies. Is that what needs to happen?

Listening to my dog whine when there are no retrieves to be had is insult to injury. I can't even get mad about it anymore. I feel for him…
