Where is everyone hunting in the morning? This weather is great. Should have alot of birds moving into the area. Lots of stuff gonna freeze up and I know just the place to break some ice and whack the bejeezuz outta em!

wish i coulda been in colorado. they had the front hit yesterday, so this last weekend was awesome.

me and the GW are gonna hit up the public land out here... looking forward to a great strap!

Ya moma raise ya wrong for that one!

Life is a beach. Another reason for the season to go into Feb.

February...

Man when I am fishing in April the Mallards stay on their nest when you get close to them. Also see a lot of Blue wing making their way back through.

Just leave it open till may we can just walk up and snatch the baby ducks as they crack the egg.

Then we wouldn't even have to pluck'em

Prolly taste pretty tender to

I saw more ducks yesterday afternoon while we were tearin up the snow than I did all season....Flushin up groups of mallards in the 20s off of MUDHOLES

This is why we cant hunt after January 31st. Rule from 1918

That's funny cause Arkansas has a youth weekend in Febuary every year.

Dang!! I was told no Migratory shooting after 31st. I guess kids and snows fall through the cracks

CO's goose season is open till feb 13th. duck season closed on the 23rd though

Well it must just be Ducks and adults. And geese are to dang easy to hit. Had my limit in one string. Their like shooting bombers down.

Do you have those laws for Texas?, it would be interesting to look at them, for goose and duck. I wish it would last longer!!:)

We are at the mercy of the secretary of the department of the interior....they give permission to the usfw to open close and set the season...

No migratory season can open with out the SOI's permission.....this ability was granted via the migratory bird treat act of 1918...

linky

City park off 183 at LST. Me, a paddle and a loaf of Wonder Bread

Pretty simple if you ask me...

Start the season one week later and end one week later just like all the states around us.

Oh I really like that part about "The Ducking Police" !!!
We should get that established in Texas !

Special set of laws would need to be created:
Misdemeanors -
Lake naming on public forum
Using a jet ski in pursuit of waterfowl
Incorrect / over use of duck call
Mouthing off to Cappy
Felony -
Leaving decoys out overnight
Arriving at public lake after LST
Sky blasting
Getting you truck / trailer stuck on a public ramp
Not being ready when your buddy comes to pick you up.

its sad that you even have to mention that.

yep

you would be too busy anyways
did ya'll have a good season (besides getting stuck with brett)?

Season was not great but not horrible... I think i went on around 20-25 hunts, and despite what i tell myself every year, didnt recordkeep nor take enough pics. Did get one of bretts truck in mud though

and had a boat float away too right? at least callie didn't eat any of the other dogs.
