Figure out where public lands are, state and corps lands. Get their maps of the boundaries, then start with google earth to figure out where you might like what it looks like, access you have (walk,boat,etc.) then scout it. Water levels have changed everything. Only other Lake is Ray Roberts and it's busy on weekends. Remember on Texoma it's not all in Texas, may need an Oklahoma license, HIP, and stamp depending on where you go. Be cognizant on public land as depending on where you go it may or may not be opened during entire waterfowl season. Do what JRR suggests and don't be the guy that shows up 10-15 minutes before shooting time and try's to find a spot. RR is really crowded and the high shooting will amaze you there,don't be that guy. Do your homework and you will be just fine. From what I have seen the last two years, walking in will be hard this year with all the water we have. Shoot me a PM if you have any specific questions, just don't lake name on the open forum, it's an open invite to all the internet scouters out there. Good luck & stay safe this year. Good advice BULSPRG.

Texoma sucks so far...well, in the Little Mineral Arm, anyway. Plus, they just took 750 acres of public hunting land and made it all private douche bag resort land (a couple years ago). AND, they haven't replaced it as far as I know (like they are supposed to). However, with the 6.5" of rain, it should put the water level back up in the weeds. It's prolly a lot better around Slick Em Slough...or Highport, but you got to be a  to hunt there
Mmmm Hmmm

This thread is a perfect example of what's wrong with America. The participation trophys have made everyone feel entitled to what they want when they want it without putting in the work.
We are doomed to fail and at this rate it'll be sooner than later.
Attention rickym, this is not a troll post, just a good hearted fun type of post

UNTHUNTER I apologize for the rude behavior of these men. They get all rules up over nothing. I am not from up there but there is a guy that will help you. Send a private message to Hayraker on this forum and he will set you in the right spot. Have a good season and don't pay attention to these guys. They don't even scout anyways! Pm sent to Hayraker.  Glad I could help fellas.

Has duck hunting evolved into a private club/cult? This thread is a perfect example of what's wrong with America. The participation trophys have made everyone feel entitled to what they want when they want it without putting in the work.
We are doomed to fail and at this rate it'll be sooner than later. exactly, never come on a public forum and ask for advice or any assistance whatsoever unless you want to be berated and then get everything blamed on Duck Dynasty as everybody else was born a waterfowl expert and never had to ask for any help......if you want to learn then you must pay somebody.....this is what made America great.......

That's right junior, you also can't be easily offended if you are asking for a hand out. Listen chief, keep in mind that most of the guys who post here don't know the answers to your question. They are sports themselves who might kill a handful of ducks each season when someone takes them along on a hunt. For the most part if you want real info on anything you should consult Wikipedia before listening to anyone on this forum.

and get in there early !!!!! I love the "some Barney potlicked my spot" threads....."walked all the way in and some Barney was in my spot, I hate the Robertson's".....
actually, do get in there early. Probably more hunts ruined by someone stumbling around at daylight than any other way, including your own. If you can't call don't, I don't. A bunch of decoys doesn't always translate to success. Hide, Hide, Hide......an "experts" poor calling can send them to your small quiet spread.
Look at other public hunting areas with ponds and small lakes and try to hunt weekdays, if at UNT then there are some north and west of you. Remember too, easy access spots translate to more hunters.

I would call being told a spot is helpful......

I'm willing to bet this is a fairly young hunter that came on here not knowing the "rules" and possibly may never come back, why would he.

And you don't have to pay someone to learn how to duck hunt. I've never taken a guided duck hunt. I learned from trial and error and asking for actual advice, not spots. People on here will gladly help with almost anything you ask, except what spot to hunt.
