They do west of there

I disagree. When I was a kid it was nothing to have three of us go out and kill 50 mallards in a morning in the SW corner of the state, and when my grandfather was a kid it was nothing to go down to Venice and market hunt and kill 100's of them. Due to saltwater intrusion their migration has changed. Now I can go hunt some of the finest freshwater marshes in SW LA some of which we hammered the mallards in years ago. They just don't come down here like they used to. I will say you can still kill mallards in places in SW LA, but not like it used to be, and I don't say that like there are that many less ducks they just don't come down like they used to for whatever reason.

That video is as cool as the underside of the pillow.... ahead of it's time... that's for sure.

True gentlemen hunters. Awesome vintage video.
