We have some property around Claude in the panhandle and wanted to do a suicide trip on the last weekend of the season. Probably drive up from Austin Friday after work, hunt Saturday and Sunday mornings and drive back Sunday afternoon. Any of you guys that hunt near there think it is worth the drive?

My deer hunters don't duck hunt but they say there are consistently around 100 ducks on our playa. They said there is a big playa between Claude and I40 that has "thousands" of ducks right now.

Any reports are greatly appreciated!!!

I had a friend draw a hunt on the playa lakes couple hours north of Lubbock. Drove all the way there from DFW just to find out they were dried up, on a few very small pockets of water not holding any birds. He went to Plan B and chased some cranes with a local outfitter. They limited out 3 days in a row.

There are plenty of ducks up here right now.. But they are ducks and they only have select playas they use majority of the time.. We have some that we have not seen a duck on and we have some that consistently have hundreds.. It has been real good as of late.. We are shooting limits of mallards, pintails, and teal.. A tons of geese..
