Grew up hunting but been out of the game awhile.. Seeing if anyone could recommend any public spots on Texoma. Also any public spots in Grayson, Cooke, and Denton county. Thanks in advance, also my first post on here but planning on getting back in the swing of things hardcore this season.

UNT duck hunters hunting spots are sacred. Your about to get crucified
No shortcuts- put a few 100 miles a week on your vehicle and find places to hunt.

Unt, I'm gonna give ya the benefit of the doubt & assume you're new to Internet forums. Here's a few general rules to live by. I'm still fairly new to this forum since I just moved here last year but I'm no newbie to forums in general.
1. Never ask for a guy's public hunting spots. It's looked at as pretty much the rudest thing you can do on a forum. You can ask general location, but we work darn hard to find our spots and the last thing we want is to find 1/2 the Internet on the spot we searched for. For example, asking how the bird numbers are on Texoma is usually ok since its a huge body of water. Some guys will still chew ya out for this, but it's usually ok to ask what kinda water they're relating to. But never, ever ask for a guy's "X".
2. Contribute to the forum & you'll be rewarded. Get to know some of us. Show that you have interest in our passion and want to learn some new stuff and teach beginners how to advance their skill. Eventually, we'll start inviting you on hunts and might even show you a few of our honey holes.
3. Take everything said with a grain of salt, and if you're easily offended, you might as well get outta the Internet forum game. Most of these guys are good dudes & you can learn a ton from em, but we all get pretty bored, especially during off season, and excessive ribbing and general tomfoolery usual ensues.
4. Don't feed the trolls. Trolls are guys that just love to argue & post stuff just to get into a heated debate. Turn a blind eye to em & move on to the next post.
Anyways, happy hunting & hopefully we see some more of you on here!
Cigarettes are like hamsters. Perfectly harmless til you put it in your mouth & light it on fire

First off this is to GreeKangler as well.. New to hunting forums not forums in general. Second you misunderstand my question I wasn't asking for exact spots for I know that that would idiotic because I would then be joining someone's hunt. I was intending general spots and areas where it's even allowed to hunt on a certain lake etc..Third let me go ahead and put 100s of miles on my truck scouting while I finish my Sr of college, work, and then work on my deer lease on the few hours I have left. But honestly thank you for the warnings now I know and whatever advice or instruction y'all have for me I will listen

If you were ever "in the game" you should know people aren't gonna tell you where the spots are. Gotta put in work like the rest of us. You still have a couple weeks...

Lake texoma is the general area, if you want to have a successful hunt you'll put in some time scouting. It's nobody's job to help you because you don't have time.

Start driving and boating. Lake Ray Roberts hunters are the friendliest group of hunters in the world and will send you maps to their blinds and times they are not there.

Don't think I will ever join the duck hunt crew. Sounds like the spots are more valuable than Crappie holes

Figure out where public lands are, state and corps lands. Get their maps of the boundaries, then start with google earth to figure out where you might like what it looks like, access you have (walk,boat,etc.) then scout it. Water levels have changed everything. Only other Lake is Ray Roberts and it's busy on weekends. Remember on Texoma it's not all in Texas, may need an Oklahoma license, HIP, and stamp depending on where you go. Be cognizant on public land as depending on where you go it may or may not be opened during entire waterfowl season.

Have you considered saving yourself hours of scouting and a tank of gas by calling an outfitter? Dan at four curl nation is $200 a pop and you'd be driving all of 15 minutes from UNT to hunt a private, scouted tank. You gotta pay to play either way you cut it.

UNTHUNTER I apologize for the rude behavior of these men. They get all rules up over nothing. I am not from up there but there is a guy that will help you. Send a private message to Hayraker on this forum and he will set you in the right spot. Have a good season and don't pay attention to these guys. They don't even scout anyways!

Has duck hunting evolved into a private club/cult?

Do what JRR suggests and don't be the guy that shows up 10-15 minutes before shooting time and try's to find a spot. RR is really crowded and the high shooting will amaze you there,don't be that guy. Do your homework and you will be just fine. From what I have seen the last two years, walking in will be hard this year with all the water we have. Shoot me a PM if you have any specific questions, just don't lake name on the open forum, it's an open invite to all the internet scouters out there. Good luck & stay safe this year.
