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

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

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 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?

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.
