Keith, we are lucky to be in an area that seems to be a decent wintering ground for the doodles. Not to the extent that Louisiana has, but enough to keep us busy. We are also blessed without much competition. It takes dogs to be consistently successful and with the decline (where I have I read that word recently?) of wild quail, there are fewer and fewer bird dogs that hunt. All it would take to end our success would be for Eastern Shore farmers in the DelMarVA region to start farming worms like they did grain crops which interfered with duck migration patterns...
