PUBLIC HUNTING SPOTS IN DELTA PLZ HELP!

[cantfeedercall]

okay i hate cyber scouting as much as anyone else but myself and two buddies will be driving 6 hours to come hunting in the delta area and we have never been there. We are only staying 3 days and want to kill a few ducks. If anyone can give any tips on landing and lakes or anything to help us not waste our trip and alot of money it will be greatly appreciated. you can email me at boldenbrent@yahoo.com if you do not want anyone else to know any of your hints. Any help will be great. Thanks and GOD BLESS

"RELEASE THE HOUNDS!"

[southernmallard]

Ok seriously. I have sat by and watched it too long. Do people seriously just get on and this is the FIRST thing they ask.

I mean it would be like me saying "Hi, I'm here to take your daughter out to dinner, then Later is it ok if we conceive a baby? Then I'll divorce her, take all of her money and you'll never hear from me again.

Thanks for you daughter, her wonderful wookie making ability, all the benefits I reaped from it, and maybe I'll come back next year to get seconds....

So am I the only one that thinks maybe some people are registering a new name to ask these question? They may be real. I have noticed a bunch of these post, and then the blasting starts. I think someone is pulling some leg!

Which delta? Here is some info on the Amazon delta that may help in your journey.

(Port. and Span. Amazonas), river, N South America, largely in Brazil, ranked as the largest in the world in terms of watershed area, number of tributaries, and volume of water discharged. Measuring 6437 km (about 4000 mi) from source to mouth, it is second in length only to the Nile among the rivers of the world. With its hundreds of tributaries, the Amazon drains a territory of more than 6 million sq km (2.3 million sq mi), roughly half of which is in Brazil; the rest is in Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Venezuela. It is estimated that the Amazon discharges between 34 and 121 million liters (9 and 32 million gal) of water per second and deposits a daily average of 3 million tons of sediment near its mouth. The annual outflow from the river accounts for one-fifth of all the fresh water that drains into the oceans of the world. The outpouring of water and sediment is so vast that the salinity and color of the Atlantic Ocean are altered for a distance of about 320 km (about 200 mi) from the mouth of the river.

Course and Physical Environment.

The major headstreams of the Amazon are the Ucayali and Marañón rivers, both of which rise in the permanent snows and glaciers of the high Andes Mts. and follow parallel courses N before joining near Nauta, Peru. From this confluence the main trunk of the Amazon flows in a generally E direction to the Atlantic Ocean. The Amazon enters the Atlantic through a broad estuary, roughly estimated at 240 km (about 150 mi) in width. Here delta deposits have formed a maze of islands that separate the river into branches. The mouth of the main stream is 80 km (50 mi) wide. This branch, known as the Pará, is separated from a smaller branch by Marajó Island, which has an area of more than 36,000 sq km (14,000 sq mi). During new and full moon a tidal bore, or wave front from the ocean, sweeps some 650 km (more than 400 mi) upstream at speeds in excess of 65 km/hr (40 mph). This phenomenon, known as pororoca, often causes waves up to 5 m (16 ft) in height.

A hot, humid climate characterizes the Amazon watershed, which encompasses the largest and wettest tropical plain in the world. Heavy rains drench much of the densely forested lowland region throughout the year but especially between January and June. Broad areas traversed by the Amazon are subject to severe floods. In Brazil the width of the river ranges between 1.6 and 10 km (1 and 6 mi) at low stage but expands to 48 km (30 mi) or more during the annual floods. To drain the mass of water, the Amazon has carved a deep bed in the plain through which it flows. Near Óbidos, Brazil, the bed is more than 91 m (300 ft) below the average surface level.

Because of its vastness, annual floods, and navigability, the Amazon is often called the Ocean R. The total number of its tributaries is as yet uncounted, but more than 200 are in Brazil alone. Seventeen of the largest known tributaries are more than 1600 km (1000 mi) in length. The Amazon proper is navigable to ocean liners of virtually any tonnage for two-thirds of its course. Transatlantic ships call regularly at Manaus, nearly 1600 km (1000 mi) upstream; and ships of 3000 tons can reach Iquitos, Peru, 3700 km (2300 mi) from the river’s mouth, the farthest point from sea of any port serving ocean traffic. River steamers of more modest tonnage can navigate on more than 100 of the larger tributaries.

Exploration and Development.

The first European to enter the Amazon delta may have been the Spanish explorer Vicente Yáñez Pinzón in 1500. Exploration did not begin until 1541, when an expedition led by another Spaniard, Francisco de Orellana, started down the Napo R., in what is now Ecuador, and reached the Atlantic Ocean. Some authorities believe that the river’s name came from Orellana’s tales of having seen on his journey women warriors he likened to the Amazons of Greek mythology; others insist that the name is derived from the Indian word amassona (”boat destroyer”). The first Europeans to undertake an upstream voyage were led by the Portuguese navigator Pedro Teixeira (1575?–1640). In modern times the river has been explored by many scientific expeditions, including that led (1914) by Theodore Roosevelt.

For centuries people made little impact on the Amazon Basin. In recent decades, however, the activities of loggers, farmers, ranchers, miners, and road builders have destroyed vast stretches of forestland. Nevertheless, much of the region remains a wilderness. One may fly for hours over tropical rain forests and see no sign of human settlement. Indians hostile to strangers continue to live much as they did before the arrival of the Europeans. By some estimates slavery, disease, slaughter, and destruction of habitat have decreased their numbers from close to 7 million in 1500 to fewer than 500,000 today.

The river and its tributaries are home to more than 1500 species of fish, including the pirarucu, which weighs as much as 225 kg (500 lb). Numerous and diverse animals and plants, many of which are found nowhere else in the world, flourish in the Amazon Basin. Mineral deposits are also plentiful. Mechanized agriculture, cattle ranching, mining, and lumbering are increasingly important to the economy, although subsistence agriculture, hunting and fishing, and the gathering of forest products are still practiced in many areas. Under pressure from international conservation groups, the Brazilian government has attempted to take control of exploitation and development of the Amazon Basin to ensure that the area’s natural resources, especially the rain forests, are not destroyed. Despite these efforts, however, deforestation claimed more than 240,000 sq km (more than 92,000 sq mi) of the Amazon region between the late 1980s and the early 2000s. J.P.A., JOHN P.

Hope those help. Please let me know if you need more information.

The best public land you can get on in short notice is just north of Canton. The best access is off I-55 south. Can't miss it, follow your nose. Don't let any of these guys mess with you, good luck.
