Yeah, I've run across them almost any month down here. That's why I kill every one I see. I always carry at least a .38 when outdoors mainly for that reason.

Been having my lifetime license for years. Great value and convenient too ! Just don't forget to get the free HIP certification every year that's required to hunt migratory birds. And of course a federal duck stamp if you're gonna hunt ducks .

No free hunting from farmers, but lots of free state managed land. Hardly any upland hunters here. We are a very small group. Mostly duck and deer hunters. I hunt in the Atchafalaya Basin a lot. And along the Mississippi River banks. I'm in South Louisiana . If you guys are around for...

Wood Cock/ Ducks/Doves/Quail/...... I am a native of Louisiana. Welcome to Sportsman's Paradise! We have outstanding duck and woodcock hunting here. Dove is pretty good. Quail is doable, but tough to find. Fishing, if you're interested is the best in the Country! I am an avid woodcock and duck...

Thank you Roosterslayer. Yeah we got some good food and lot's of Crazies here. Always a good time to be had!!!

pnsballard Quail are sparse but huntable down here. Ducks,geese, and doves are plentiful around the Shreveport area. Woodcock hunting will be good. Welcome to Louisiana.

Gsp GSP because I never know what I am gonna be huntin'. My common winter day starts with ducks at daylight in tough Louisiana swamp requiring a hard retriever. After ducks woodcock, then if I am on a hot field, evening doves. My GSP's handle all this with no problem. Also in the swamps it is...

10 at a time. Mine would definately be a multiple retrieve from my old Lab Gabby(gone now) in the marshes of Coastal Louisiana. Me and 2 friends were duck hunting and we had a few down already. We hear what sounds like a jet engine, but it was huge flock of blue winged teal. The flock comes...

Tricky Mud Bats I know what you mean Goldeneye, no tellin' where those little suckers are gonna go when you flush them. They are quite adept at slipping through the brambles at warp speed. Probably about 35% of the time we don't even get a shot off.

BritChaser, Yes woodcock are very good to eat. We usually butterfly them and batter and deep fry them, stew them, roast them, or put 'em in gumbos with squirrel, duck, or some other small game. As far as the hunt.....man, where do I start. Woodcock like moist, swampy areas with heavy, HEAVY...

BleuBijou, Anytime you can make it down to Louisiana between December 18 (always the opening day of woodcock) and January 31 (always the last), grab your dog and come on, I'll be glad to take you woodcock hunting. Timberdoodle

Thanks Thanks for the welcomes folks. If I can't be huntin' or trainin' I can sometimes satisfy myself with jawing about it. This should be a fun forum. Bob I usually hunt with Beretta 626 12 gauge sxs but I often turn to my Grandpap's old Remington M11 16 gauge or my Pop's old Stevens 20...

Hi Y'all, I'm a bird hunter from South Louisiana. No wild pheasants here of course but we have good dove, quail, snipe, and great duck and woodcock (my favorite) hunting here in these swamps. I also have a passion for bird dogs. Currentlty own/hunt 3 GSP's. We have been haveing an exceptional...
