Duck shooting in the East has declined as much as the goose hunting has improved. We're lucky here in the northern reaches of the Mississippi Flyway in that we get good shooting on both when the weather is right.

Jim and I have lost our local shooting unfortunately, but our guide over in Canada is back in the game as of September. He had a little run in with the law and lost his license for the last couple seasons but is on track to have it returned.

I didn't hunt nearly as much last season as I usually do, this year maybe I'll have more drive.

It seems like the memories of "the Good Old Days" are better than they actually were, but the excitement of the hunt is still there.
Savor the anticipation.
Enjoy what you have.
Support the sport you love.
Shoot a Parker.
Be thankful we live in a country where we can do as we please.

Best Fishes,

Not in our case here in coastal NH, 10 years ago flocks of 100's left Great Bay at dawn to feed inland. It was always a grand sight. We have not seen that in many years. The decline has been drastic in this area but I agree with the rest of your post.
