The snows are barely beginning to trickle in! I saw the first few flocks riding the winds and heading south this morning. The front due in Friday should really put a few in the rice fields.

Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 40-45 Degrees
Saw 9 birds before LST and 6 more high flying after sun came up. We quit early because there was nothing flying. We still need more cold up north.

Sunny & Clear, High Winds – Over 70 Degrees
Hunted the middle of cove that’s used as a flight lane. I stood against and old dead oak tree that ran right next to the creek channel because I figured I’d get more passing shots at birds going straight up and down the cove.
There weren’t many birds using the cove I was in but I was perfectly positioned for the ones who did. I took 1 hooded merganser. I haven’t shot one of those in years. Beautiful bird but not the tastiest of ducks.
Looking out on the big part of the lake I noticed many flocks of teals all heading in the same direction. That started around 5 and lasted about 15 minutes.
Headed back out Tuesday AM. Going to hit Lewisville. Looking forward to hitting up a new lake.

Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 50-60 Degrees
Took one gadwall hen. Defintely not a “ducky” day weather wise. I’m seeing pretty much only gadwalls and green wings.
Did see 5 Canada geese. That was a first for me in this part of the state. That would have made my day to have a chance to take a crack at them but they were about 70 yards away.
We still need a true norhtern to blow
through to build up the numbers and variety of birds.
Going back out tomorrow. I’m not expecting much but still want to get out.

Muddy, talk to the 1A guys about their goose hunting. They do a nice job. Have a super hunting lodge near the lease. There geese show up in numbers in January.
I know it sounds crazy, but their goose hunting is in Central Texas. We have a group of 8 booked on the 3rd weekend of January. I think he said his weekends are now sold out, but he has some weekday hunts left. They offer cow board hunts in the Spring season and average around 80 snows a day.

I just spoke to the guide I will be hunting with this Friday at Choke Canyon and the report he gave me for the opener was good. They had two parties of four on Sat. and limited out with in 45 minutes. Sunday him and 2 hunters limited out in about the same amount of time. They had a mix bag of birds teal,widgeon,black bellie whistler,woodies and gadwall. He also mentioned a group of mallards that came in before shooting hours on Sunday. I hope they hang around a few more days. I am sure looking forward to it since I have never shot a mallard.

Guys, just be glad you are in Texas.
Those poor smucks out in California are so ram-rodded by State regulations, you are lucky if you can have a 5 bird day. Their State control is so bad, that you must draw for approved hunting areas controlled by State mandates.
There are no 75-100 goose kill days in California. If a left-coaster gets a dozen geese for the YEAR… he had a hell of a season.
Their State controlled hunting just flat sucks.
Texans will kill more geese in a weekend, than Californians will kill in a season.
It’s pitiful.

Cloudy, Occassional Rain Showers – Over 70 Degrees
We were paddling in the canoe towards our spot and jumped up probably a few hundered total (many seperate groups)of maninly gadwalls. It was mainly a scouting trip but we didn’t hunt the last hour and a half before sunset. We shot at one gadwall drake and that was it. It would have been a excellent spot to hunt this morning. I expect that area to get better as the season progresses. We need a few more fronts to blow through.
Let’s start getting the discussion boards going now that the season is open. It would be good to hear from some others in the state.
