This season, how many public lakes have you scounted and how many have you hunted?
For me this season, I have scounted 5 and hunted 3.

scouted 4, hunted 2. Never will I ever hunt one of them again because there are far to many idiots for me to handle anymore. I was in EMT school last duck season which left me with every morning open....and I hunted 4-5 days a week ...Don't recall this many Barney's..think it's gotten worse this year.

Scouted 6, hunted 4. I'll be scouting one more and hunting it if I find ducks in the next couple of weeks. Last year it held birds late season so I'm hoping for the same this year.

2 and 2 this year. Although I've made 3 trips to scout one and only hunted it twice.
Dear Lord please bullwhip me for saying this but I agree, Marcstar is in the lead. Please nobody use this as a quote!!!

Never scouted. Just showed up at LST (never a line at the boat ramp during that time) and just follow the shooting.

I joined every waterfowl forum on the intraweb and did a search for "public lakes"! Got me all kinds of spots and didn't use no gas!  Every lake I visited with full parking lot, I just sat back and marked all the spots where I heard lots of shooting. Got me more spots located than I'll ever be able to hunt by myself, so I'll be e-mailing all my friends some of my left-over spots!

One lake, move away from the shooting and most of the time it works. We don't have a boat "yet" so we have to pack in. I can get to some rather oddball places that a lot of the guys with boats either can't or won't go until they here us shooting. The next weekend they seem to find us. I just wish we were putting ducks on the water to match our shooting, on second thought "no" because then I'd have way to many ducks. I just need to shoot less and get more ducks. Oh well I'll have all of spring and summer to work on that.

Scouted 1 and Hunted 1 for me too... no reason to move yet! There's alot of places I wish I had scouted though. I have to resort to (gasp) Cyber-scouting 
Wasn't born in Texas, but I got there as fast as I could.
