No wonder there's no birds in TX... good grief, that's an insane field.
This past Saturday, somewhere in Montana. The season always ends too soon

I guess we’ll table that thought.I love this thread. We should get a HT duck hunt going! Who’d be interested?
Could be that, although my thought is that mallards and geese spend a lot of time on land, walking around through corn stubble, etc. For the worn mallard band I actually called them up and we went through a few possibilities for the unreadable number and figured it out. I've heard other people say they sent the band back and by chemically etching they could read the numbers. I ended up loosing the worn band shortly after I got it, somehow came off my lanyard dammit.I have a goose band that was only a couple years old but looked like it had been through WWII. Had to guess at one of the numbers. Got it right on second attempt. I think some birds find the bands irritating and peck on them.
Sounded like a neat idea, but it's got some logistical problems. Like how many blindfolds you would need, and who would make sure no one cheats.I guess we’ll table that thought.
You keep posting pictures of bull sprigs like that and it won't beMaybe a zoom hunt? I’m assuming CA might be pretty far from folks
I‘m going to W. Tennessee next week for a 3-day duck hunt at Reelfoot Lake. Last week of the season. I had one guy cancel for medical reasons so we have an opening. Ping me if interested. These are the guys we’re going with:There's got to be a way to do an HT waterfowl road trip. Possibly a neutral state DIY public land. Depending on the number of attendees as to whether there's a need to break into smaller hunting groups or not.
If you only go home with one, a nice bull like that is hard to beat!View attachment 209554
Missed a few opportunities today, including on some cinnamon teal, but am always happy to get my Bull sprig. Starting to figure out how this spot shoots in north vs south winds on the refuge. Only got the one bird but learned a lot today.
I heard good things about Cheyenne Bottoms (actual place, get your minds out of the gutter), thought about going there when I had a Kansas deer tag, but didn't make it. Might sort of be centrally located for a lot of folks, anybody hunted there?We could do a Kansas hunt. I’d be game. I should be around people with the same condition!
Looked into it a lot. Lot of guys saying how its not what it used to be, albeit you could sat that for 90% of places ducks are hunted anymore.I heard good things about Cheyenne Bottoms (actual place, get your minds out of the gutter), thought about going there when I had a Kansas deer tag, but didn't make it.

Exactly! Everything was going wrong, they’d constantly come from whatever direction I happened to not be looking at, which never really happens, was getting frustrated with the layups I was way too late on and eventually got the lone sprig and peace was restoredIf you only go home with one, a nice bull like that is hard to beat!
This is what I was thinking. Lots of little potholes and WIA. We were seeing quite a few ducks in September even when I was out there in 2020. Not to mention the numbers of doves I saw.We could do a Kansas hunt. I’d be game. I should be around people with the same condition!
