Big ducks

Saw first group of gadwalls coming in this morning on our big lake! Riding the strong north wind. Western Parker CO.

saw all teal and woodies in Van Zandt today- 5 big ducks I couldnt ID

Iv have seen two big ducks in last week, a pintail and a red head on two separate ponds.

Had a report of around 500 ducks around the Ducktoon a few days ago.

Heading out now to see for myself. Might be able to get some "through the binocular"
pics.

Watched 60 or so fly the river behind the house Friday night at dusk

Well I guess you could say we had about 500 "ducks" but most were coots. Maybe 50 big ducks and 100 teal.

Bad pics

Good to know that there is a few!

Had 15 ring necks and at least 30 big ducks(couldn't identify) and then around 50 BWT on the 4 acre pond this weekend. Other than the ring necks I would say all is looking good!!

Hopefully more on the horizon.

I saw a few large groups of teal and a couple of smaller groups of big ducks when I went scouting last week. I'm probably doing some scouting tomorrow, we'll see if anything has changed!

I can't wait! Going to the panhandle to hunt some playa lakes the second week of November. The last time we had this much water up here I limited out every morning in around 30 min or less! Any reports on ducks in the panhandle region?

We road in the marsh between Winnie and Port Arthur for 4 hours brushing blinds this past Saturday and we saw probably 100 teal and 50 mottled ducks. No other ducks besides the ones that should already be around.

Saw another group of about 35 bg ducks could ID them overhead today.

Could not***

Saw a couple of gads circle our slew last Sunday while working on the blind.

Lake Ray Hubbard is looking good for opening day already.

A bunch of Gadwall, wigeon and redheads showed up in the last few days.

Just scouted out another spot and it was loaded with a few hundred BWT. Had a few ringers, gaddies, wigeon, pintail and a crap ton of freakin coot.

Seen a few groups of widgeon and gadwalls around Palo Pinto on small water.

Lake Meoff was full of birds this afternoon.

Am I the only one that enjoys blasting coots every now and then?

Yes

I hate coots and I just started duck hunting

I love coots. They add real life in your decoys. With them hanging around you have so much movement the ducks can't tell your decoys are not real.

Dec will be the big deal

True wal...
