They Had to Kill 2,000 Ducks a Day

Before federal duck hunting regulations, one Louisiana operation was supplying the French Market in New Orleans with an unbelievable 2,000 ducks every single day. In this clip, Dale Bordelon shares the incredible true story of Pie Champagne, one of the most legendary market hunters in American history. From hunting out of dugout boats in the Louisiana marshes to shipping barrels of ducks across the country by train, this is a fascinating look into a forgotten era of waterfowling. Dale explains how market hunters operated, how ducks were transported from southwest Louisiana to New Orleans, and why Pie Champagne became one of the most respected duck hunters of his generation. If you love duck hunting, waterfowl history, Louisiana outdoors culture, and stories from the golden age of hunting, you won’t want to miss this one.
