Bayou acres park 🇺🇸🦆

[analog crest]

(Based in The summer of Louisiana / this is just Mississippi acres as a small game park)

Welcome to the bayou, the most beautiful swamps in one of many us states like Texas or the Mississippi River delta. This national park is one of many hotspots for ducks and others. The bayou is home to the whistling duck family and the teal family. But most commonly you can find the wood duck, mallard, and the northern shoveler. It’s also home to Landfowl, aquatic rodents, and carnivores. Like the invasive coypu, the native gray fox, Racoon, and the American woodcock. Welcome to the bayou.

Dog toys and more

I feel like dogs need to have more stuff to improve their bond with the hunters,
So here’s a quick list of stuff that they should add.

(This will be a free update)

Fetching ball

(Price: FREE)

Desc:
this new edition of playing will upgrade your dog’s bond with you. When clicking the option to play fetch, you will throw the ball as your dog goes to retrieve it. This will useful for the dog’s bond with you.

Fowl trainer

(Price: free)

Desc:
Mostly used for any dog who will retrieve small game, this plushie type trainer will improve the skill and bond of any retrieve. When thrown, your dog
(depending what type)
Will run towards where you thrown the trainer and retrieve it.

(Types)

Pheasant

Duck
(any random duck species when equipped)

Quail
(Any random quail species when equipped)

Goose
(Any random goose species when equipped)

Grouse
(Any random grouse species when equipped)

Chewing bone
(Price: Free)

(Btw you can only do this at the taxidermy lodges)

Desc:
this new type of treat will help you increase your dogs bond with you. you can give your dog a variety of chewing toys of the shop.

(Types)

Chewing bone

Chewing antler

Cape and water buffalo chewing horn

Dog food and water

(Dog food Cost: $120)

(Water cost: free)

(BTW like the chewing treat, you will only be able to do this in the taxidermy lodges)

Desc:
Alright I’m starting to get lazy but after a long day of hunting, your dog stamina will be low. So to refill their stamina, they will rest like they usual do. But they will also need to drink water and eat. They won’t have a hunger or water bar because that will make me panic, but like I said. It will refill their stamina.

(Food types)

Regular dog food

Cooked Chicken / quail meat

Cooked Duck / goose meat

Cooked Deer meat

And finally The water is regular water of course

[fleet dome]

dang thats pretty good
i love this idea

[fleet dome]

training your dog manually thats a pretty good idea

[analog crest]

Yeah, thanks for you’re opinion 👍. I also had another idea of more realism to decoys. Basically just more realistic decoys, like for the tufted duck. It will now have its little hair thingy. And other decoys will have realistic head shapes, bills, and head poses

[fleet dome]

those decoys are pretty well made! i wish there was switchable head shapes and they switch to land decoys when placed on land!

[raw crater]

Cinnamon Teal aren’t really found in Louisiana

[analog crest]

Actually? Let me do a quick research

Yeah you’re right

[raw crater]

Cinnamon Teal are commonly found in the Pacific Flyway that’s about it but they have been found in other flyways

[analog crest]

Well I learned something new today. I’m gonna need to replace that species with something else, Any ideas?

[fleet dome]

lemme check my book rq

[raw crater]

Additionally if you wanted to do a pacific flyway map Oregon would be a good location with them having cinnamon teal and also having Eurasian Wigeon with American Wigeon. This is because Eurasian Wigeon are becoming more common to see in America. Also American Wigeon have a plumage variation that is called storm and is beautiful.

[raw crater]

Speckle Bellies ( Greater White-fronted) are some of the most desired game in Louisiana because of their taste. They are even valued over ducks

[craggy heath]

dude

thats genius

[raw crater]

Storm

[fleet dome]

they look more bald and a bit more pretty

Thank you!

Rn I’m getting ready to go to my local wildlife center to record and take pics to show some example of the bayou acres park. Sadly I live in Minnesota and we don’t have bayou swamps. So it will be the regular swamps and others.

Outfits

The outfit for the park will most likely be duck hunting waders.

It will cost the average of 12000, and there will be three different types of wader. But not to worry, because as you buy the outfit. You will get the other two for free!

(The types of waders.)

Real tree waders
(The original. If bought you get these other types)

Im all for more duck maps

[analog crest]

Me too!

Also if anyone is wondering yes. There are feral Muscovy ducks in Louisiana.

Their native range is to central and South America, and from northern Mexico and northern Argentina. And probably somewhere else I don’t know about.

[fossil mist]

Ive been pushing for Muscovies to come to cotw #1342986300466135050 is a huge part of it they are such a gorgeous duck with alot of color variation i love seeing them on different species lists

[analog crest]

True!

Im gonna read your post when I get back home because I’m goin somewhere

[fossil mist]

Take your time but yeah still great thread

[analog crest]

I just read it and it’s awesome.

Anyways here are the pics and videos I promised.

First vid was me walking to the wildlife center but saw some geese

More calls / call details / and silhouette decoys.

I feel like we need more calls for this map, More details, and silhouette decoys.

So here’s a quick list : )

[beacon deluxe whistling call]

Desc:

A simple yet effective design. With this whistle, you call up to any duck that makes a whistling call. By clicking ( x) or ( R) or (∆)
You can change how the call sounds to match the species
You’re hunting. It can also make a drake mallard call

(Cost: FREE)

(Attracted species:
fulvous whistling duck
Black bellied whistling duck
Ring neck duck
Blue winged teal
Green winged teal
Eurasian teal
Cinnamon teal
Bobwhite quail
Stubble quail
Mallard
Pintail
Eurasian wigeon
Etc)

[Beacon deluxe Blue wing teal call]

(Cost: FREE)

Desc:

Mostly used by teal hunter’s, this call that’s comes from the bayou acres park DLC is a duck hunter’s paradise. This call mimics a female blue wing teal.

(Attracted species:
Blue winged teal)

[Beacon deluxe diving duck call]

(Cost: FREE)

Desc:

The classic call of a diving duck, mostly described by some people as a crow calling. In British Columbia, people use to grab a mallard call and make a BRR
Sound. But now it’s easier to make that noise, this call has an exhaust plug to keep a volume at a low. But you can remove it to increase the volume.

[attracted species: any diving duck in the game and in this park]

[silhouette decoys]

Desc:

Mostly used for goose hunting but also duck hunting. Silhouette decoys cause a major good impact to goose and duck hunting when faced in the wind direction.

(Cost: free)

1 new taxidermy lodges.

I feel like this maps needs a taxidermy lodge.

So like I always say.
Here’s the lodge

[oaks terrain trophy lodge]

Desc:
This new lodge is located in the Henderson Swamp’s of Louisiana. This new large lodge also have the new terrain mounts.
(https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1241417134832222319)
The lodge has an upstairs and downstairs, but the most unique thing about this lodge is it also has a dock. You can’t buy a boat (foreshadowing)

but there will be ducks from the Henderson swamps you will see in the distance. They are not huntable sadly but you can spot them if you’re binoculars.

(Yes you can equip binoculars when you go to the dock)

(Non huntable waterfowl)

Black bellied whistling duck

Wood duck

Blue winged teal

Speckle belly geese

Hooded mergansers

Canvasback

Northern pintail

Northern shoveler

American wigeon.

[worn kelp]

As much as I love Salzweisen and the idea of the mini small game focused maps, it feels incomplete without a few big game species. Salzweisen, for instance, would really benefit from a few Roe Deer and Wild Boar.

[main viper]

There’s no where wild board could be on the map where they would fit in, they just seem too big. Roe deer could be fine, and adding Sika deer could work too, but to be fair, Salzwiesen doesn’t need any new species because it is the perfect SMALL GAME map. It’s designed for Small game, so adding anything higher than class 2 just wouldn’t work.
If you want to hunt a map that’s like Salz, but has big game on, hunt Revontuli

[worn kelp]

The map's focus isn't lost on me. I'm not dense. But it doesn't flow right because of those specifics. This is simply a reasonable, understandable observation.

Thousands of hunters flock to South Dakota's many pheasant lodges every year. Deer still inevitably get kicked up as they're walking fields. This is simply an example.

[analog crest]

Im taking this to my advantage rn

[analog crest]

I will still be posting here but I made my final small game park
