Just got back from 3 days hunting on Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee. Bird numbers are way down from historical average. We killed 17 the first day, 7 the second, and 2 the last day. Guided hunt in a blind in a big open pot hole back in the trees. Open water guides weren't doing any better or worse. Our guide said on his best year he killed 2,290 ducks out of the blind we were hunting..... this year he was hoping to get to 450.
From everyone I've talked to out there, if you can kill 10-15 ducks a day you are doing good. Went out with low expectations, so I wasn't disappointed … beautiful country out there and a totally different way of hunting then what I'm used to.
