For years my one son lived in Wichita Falls,every January he and myself and my other two sons would come down for our annual late season hunt.We went near a town called Vernon and hunted a marsh located behind Truscot Lake(Think that is the way it is spelled)The area operated by the Corps of Engineers.Just wanting to know if we missed any good hunting there this year for my son has moved to Austin this Summer for another job.Sure did enjoy my yearly trip to spend time with my sons and all the nice people we ran into each year.Thanks for the memories.

Hunted the river today….
Mainly a course of Widgeon with a Can and Red mixed in…..
Hunting has been tough with weather conditions not really conducive to duck hunting….
Black, Yellow, or Chocolate, take your choice….

Baffin Bay 12-31-2007 19:51
Cloudy, High Winds – 50-60 Degrees
Went out and hunted the south shore along the Kenedy Ranch in Baffin Bay Saturday, & Sunday. Saturday was the best day with a limit of Pintail Drakes early on between 3 hunters,we finished our limits with a good mix of Red Heads, Blue Bills, Wigdeon,and Teal. Sunday we struggled a little due to a change in wind direction about a hour after setting up. We still ended up with 12 ducks between 3 of us. Most were Red Heads & Blue Bills.

NE Texas (Near Red River) 12-28-2007 23:32
Cloudy, Winds Calm – 35-40 Degrees
I was fortunate enough to hunt on my friend’s family ranch in NE Texas right on the Red River.
The birds were flying really well on the 26th and 27th. We mostly shot Mallards, Wood Ducks and Teal.
The hunting was great but the shooting was sub par. No complaints.
I really enjoyed hunting this area as I actually had the opportunity to sucessfully call Mallards.
I usually hunt in Central Texas where we harvest mostly Gadwall, Widgeon, and divers.
I’ll be back!

Sunny & Clear, High Winds – 50-60 Degrees
Scouted around the Laguna Salada & Drum Point area today. I was amazed and releived to see the amount of Red Heads , & Blue Bills in the area. Compared to two weeks ago, on the last scouting trip to the area. If this is not the peak of the migration, I cant wait to see what thats going to look like. We’ll give it a try in the morning. I’ll be sure to post a report on our results.

Hughe flights of Sandhills. Normally I see groups of 2 to 7 or so and yesterday they were grouped in flocks of 50 plus. I suspect they just arrived and are still in migration flocks. Hunting is slow for cranes and specs with snows flying up with the jets.
Merry Christmas to all from a snowbird.
jacduck It is not the limits I get but the HUNTS I get that makes a great season. And I don’t shoot spoonies!

Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 25-30 Degrees – Ice
Despite winter weather north of us, bird numbers are lackluster on public reservoirs in North Texas. Our bag this weekend included mallards, woodies, teal and a couple of spoonies, with flights being fairly well over within 15 minutes of LST. The remainder of the week will see fairly mild weather, so I’m not expecting a big change in bird numbers through the end of the week.
Merry Christmas, y’all.
