It could very well.

How much does a blind cost?

It depends on location but I would say average is 6 to 7 thousand for a 4 man blind.

Damn.

It's not cheap that's why we split the cost between 4 of us.

Do you get guest privileges as well, or do you & your blind partners keep it to the 4 of you?

Take a deep breath and rub those pintail sprigs I sent you on your cheek.

Now that I know how much they cost, I better put them in the safe with my bullets.

Rule number 1 of hunting:

Never figure cost per bird!

so true but about 30 bucks per bird

We were lucky (Years ago) that our rice farmer friend has a PTO pump for the 105 acres we flooded. We only had to use it once and it wasn't very much more than buying water from the irrigation district but we had water when others didn't and that made a big difference. Our shooting was far above average that year.

It is not just irrigation water for crops that is a problem, today rice farmers aren't allowed to burn their stubble so they have to disc it and flood it which means lots more water available for ducks, even water on land with no duck blinds which tends to spread the ducks out, often quite a ways out.

My friend in Gridley says he is looking at 50% water for next rice season and perhaps no water after the growing season unless something drastic happens with the weather.

Could be that if you have water to flood rice next season and many people don't have the water you could be in for a record killing year.

We work with each other. If one of us is going and the other 3 can't we can bring family or friends.

I'm considering trying this. It's just black plastic layer out with patches of grass or tules on it

I used that in the desert for doves when I lived in Arizona. Worked like a charm.

You going to do any hunting during the late goose?

Not sure. Geese are starting to show up. But not in huge numbers yet. And they aren't hanging out anywhere near my fields anyhow. I'm gonna play it by ear
