Warm Temps, Late Flights: Hunting Success During Louisiana’s Second Split
About this episode
This episode discusses the impact of warm temperatures on duck migration and hunting success during Louisiana's second split of the season.
The second split of Louisiana’s duck season is officially underway, but a mid-winter heat wave has thrown a curveball at the migration. In this episode, we break down how unseasonably warm temperatures are impacting bird movement, holding patterns, and overall hunting pressure across the state. We also talk about adjusting expectations—why late mornings and early afternoon flights have become the most productive windows, and how hunters can adapt their setups, timing, and mindset to stay successful despite less-than-ideal weather conditions.
