No, no, you're fixin' to have me hauled off. That's the total for hunters I took.

I know by the time we see the end, I'm ready for it - can't imagine how you feel.

No, my bad. I read it as "just you or your clients totals. I do guide and those are my and my clients and friends and family's numbers. What was killed on the hunts I made with whoever was along.
We've stuff in Cameron, Vermilion, Jeff Davis and Acadia Parishes, but the camp and my morning marsh blind are in the area known as Klondike, between Gueydan and Lake Arthur. Ours is fresh marsh at the edge of the rice, so we see a lot of trafficking birds. With the rub being that the lease has a 9:30 curfew, so we're too often out about the time the big ducks are start moving.

16 days of September teal and 60 of regular duck season, but I've all but quit taking parties for geese after. Still hunt pretty much daily as long as specks are open, but it's generally just the dog and I decompressing. Mighty nice not to feel like we have to shoot something.
Seems, however, like the withdrawal when it's over just keeps getting worse every year.

High flying mallards have saved many a morning when precious little was using the marsh. And my big mallard years have been when other game was in short supply leaving me to focus on breaking flights we'd not otherwise wrestle.

I've hunted 15 days of early goose and 59 of the 60 days of duck season exactly once...I came home the last day of the season, had been fighting pneumonia for 2 weeks, cleaned the ducks, took some more drugs and fell asleep around 11am, woke up the next morning @ 8 and felt like I'd been sleeping for 15 minutes. I thought I was going to die.
