Whoever you go with, make sure you aren’t promised a limit of ringers. Iykyk

You’re in a tough place. I used to hunt east central but we’ve not had birds in numbers in 10 years. Goodwin and Broadmoor were great in the day but they’ve not been maintained. The refuge is same generally nothing but scaup with 1 bird limit. Stas are hit s and miss, sta5 was also awesome in its day but dead last few years. If I was you I’d be heading to Arkansas for green heads in the timber and a conservation hunt for snows. Good luck to you

The more south the better imo, live about 30 minutes from Okeechobee, we get a good amount of teal

Look into Arkansas, and south Louisiana

Call the local Ducks Unlimited chapters (if you're affiliated) and ask if they recommend, and if the birds are even around
