Guides sure have been quite in North TX

whats the scoop boys?

They all went to the dakotas to shoot some ducks.

The smart ones don't book hunts the first two weeks of the season.

I will say not just a lot of birds here yet... We shot some wigeons, gaddies and teal this weekend but not many numbers down quite yet. Hopefully weather will get em on down.....

Ours has been Rockin Full of Birds. If you do f Book, (DTK Waterfowl) go to

to see a short video of what we watched on Sunday.

Go Get Em boys and yes, we have openings!!!

Very slim so far! They will show up soon.

I'm still guiding deer hunters probably till after the split

Headed to Mo tomorrow for a week with 6 clients!

What are you hunting in Mo?

Giant bucks which are in full rut! Perfect timing

Is there a master list of guides on the forum anywhere? Maybe create a sticky?

We had gadwalls and teal but not many yet. Cold weather will bring them in. We only hunt weekends so will see this weekend...

I don't book my first hunts till the 20th. I've got better things to do than get up at 4 am just to hand clients their money back because we didn't see any ducks, or enough ducks for 4 or 6 guys to get a chance to shoot a limit at. So in mean time I'm just fun hunting public with my buddies shooting resident mallards

We shot Gads, Widg, Mallards, Cans, Reds and Teal. Seeing Pins already too. Crazy how many new birds we have been getting in. Looks to be a GREAT year!!!

Let's see pics from the hunts DTK

That what all the noise was at Hurst park pond the other day.

Well there was lots of ducks

We killed birds on all of our hunts. We have been very honest with the number of birds we have been seeing to our clients. They know when they come out if they don't see birds they get another hunt. Now if we get birds in and they cannot hit em that's not on us! Honesty and not hyping hunts is the best approach.

Guess you haven't been around much. It's pretty much like that every year. As mentioned birds don't get here good until the about 3rd week. Sure there will be birds here before and maybe a good number in the 2nd week but it's a toss up.

Had to postpone my opening weekend hunt. Bird numbers where low. Starting to see a few birds now. Hope to have some pictures after the weekend. Watching the weather up north, birds should start to move down late this weekend. Ready to get out.

This guide just got back from ND yesterday birds are just starting to trickle in ahead of the front that's going through the area today . It won't be long with the full moon coming and the temps starting to drop . But SD and KS will stop a pile of birds !

Most N. TX guides guide over tanks, birds are not on tanks really. Same thing as last season, guides didn't start stacking birds until later in the season.

There were blue wings in N TX up to the end of Oct, same as last year.



I bet the sandbass will run a few weeks late again too.

I thought 'ol Ogle was telling Judd yesterday there were 1000's of birds here in Texas, but most were too lazy to find them. I guess you guides are lazy?

Ogle is legit!!That guy hunts super secret with God like skills never takes a pic and we just have to take his word for it that he piles up fat stacks of green where others fail.

Here is a link to the facebook. Found the pictures.

You've noticed that too huh? I hear they pitch into his spread and just die from his death stare! Sometimes he yells GRAVY at them.

Will be headed that direction next Friday for 10 days. And yes, the rut is on. . .

My best hunts of the season in past years has usually come between the 10-18th of November. The first major front...
Last year on nov 13

I have 5-6 big ones patterned so hopefully one makes the fatal mistake. When I say big I mean 180+

Well said, Jeff. I was shocked at number of birds today vs this weekend. Big front coming next weekend. Should be barrels-a-blazing

With a lady like that, it dont matter when the ducks come

As per request.

Those guys must be really cold natured

Well there are still green leaves on the trees and some green grass. It was 34 degrees opening morning here according to the truck thermometer.

We had a thousand birds on a soil conservation lake and I'm further south than y'all.

Nice to see a real live Sasquatch into duck hunting.

Well, he made damn sure his face had no shine.

Why do people often look all pizzed of in the pictures?

Its supposed to be a great day.

Hunting is serious business.

Because that's the proper technique for posing with dead animals. Everybody knows that! You must be a rookie.
