I've heard there is already a decent number of big dux in some areas. What ya seeing?

No specific lakes please!

All I'm seeing out here in Breckenridge are a few Teal.

Some lakes have em and some lakes don't. I've seen crazy numbers at one and zip at another. Get out and scout em out

Nothing on the farm ponds in my area. Nothing at all.

teal primarily and coots on the coast right now. seen a couple mottled ducks big ducks arent south yet.

No way, that is what the internet is for!

I like to roll in right at LST opening morning and listen for the shooting. Setup 50 yards downwind with 10 dozen spoonie dekes and 12 mojos. Just makin sure I hit the right area.

A ton of coots in my area. Ton = more then i want to attempt to count.

Big duxs = zero seen.

I like to scout for the big fat juice marina mallards for the opener.

Nothing to speck of in my area. Only seeing a few teal still around.

Hope I get lucky, looking forward to hunting with some friends.

Saw some woodies crappie fishin last wknd.. but dat was all I saw.

Saw a big group of Sandhills way up high flying south a couple weeks ago just north of Ranger. No ducks yet though.

with all these post here I think, I should cancel my opening week Duck Hunt
in the south

Not much showing up in north Texas, yet.

10/25/17 Report
Region: North Texas
Location: We'll call this one Lake 1
Scouting Time: Shooting time to sunrise
Observations: Saw 20-25. Mostly teal with 4 positive blue wing. 2 possible mallard.

Now that's a report!

Yeah, that should be THF Official Duck Reporting format.

Thanks. I figure if nothing else we can compare reports over the next three weeks to see what the numbers do. I have a couple of other places to scout and will try to repeat next week.

Drove a few ponds today around Belton... Saw 1 mallard, 2 teal, and a spoonie. Strange that both the spoonie and the mallard were by themselves on separate ponds.

Anyway, that's all I saw and I checked about 7 ponds.

That means opening day is going to be NO GOOOD>

We've got a few weeks to see. That's also what I could see flying high enough to be skylighted. Just need pressure and cold weather up north.

Mallard, Gadwall, and Teal are at our lake... buddy has been sending me a video of them this entire evening

Lots of Specklebellys in my area and I have some Hevi X waiting
for them.....

Since you can't hunt it, I'll name it. Lometa was packed with ducks as I drove by today at 6:15. No idea what ducks were on it, but it was full of 'em. Tanks at the ranch in Carbon not so much.

Starting to see several bodies of water holding ducks.
