Has anyone seen an increase or decrease in the Coot population in your area? It has been 3 years since I have seen one and we honestly had them by the thousands around here.

ive only hunted a # of yrs on acount of my age but i ve seen em just not many it mmight be were i live but they are funny to watch swimming

We have thousands of them little buggers here and they don't do anything but sit around.

Dont see too many, usually a few a year and thats it....

We use to have a bunch as I mentioned and other ducks like widgeon liked hanging around them to scarf up some of the grass that they pulled up.

We had them by the thousands too but you don't see nearly as many these days.

Still here in Minnesota in good numbers.

I've seen more and more here is OR every year, ive seen hundreds in the local golf course pond this summer. I was just fishin the other day in a little cattle pond and counted 12 swimmin around.

Where do you live MarshMonster??

Here in WI we still have thousands, but they're on the decline....for better or worse
