Just trying to get some info on how the duck hunting on Lake Texoma works. I know for the fishing there is a special license, not assuming there is one for duck but just lookign for the following info.

1. Is there any other ramps on the Texas side west of 377, i know that there are a couple on the Oklahoma side.
2. Can you put in on the Oklahoma side and legally hunt if you only have Texas license.
3. If you have only a Texas license do you have to hunt the Texas side of the river.

Any help would be appreciated.

All I can add is when I've hunted the Red Oklahoma rules the roost so to speak. I have to have both Tx and Ok license and Ok regulations go to the Tx bank where as Tx goes to center of river. At least thats how it was explained to me by tx GW.

That is like 80% correct. You need to be 100% correct, a GPS will show you the border, and also tell you what county you are in. There are many hunting locations that are Texas, your post makes it sound like you can hunt those areas for the OK opener if you have an ok license.

Also if you bring ducks to an OK ramp, you better have an ok license.

Okie wardens love taking Texans money.

This. Never been there and not been checked. Make sure you're 100% legal

And we're naming lakes again, please be more respectful than this. there are different ways to go about this than posting a name of a lake. Can the moderators help remind ppl to refrain from this activity? I really enjoy this forum but when we start doing things like this, it ruins a lot more than it helps imho.

Pretty simple, don't name a lake.

Nothing wrong with this post.

If the lake then I guess but I was referring to just the River. Its to my understanding that if you have both state license and Ok season is in but tx is closed your good to hunt all the way to the Tx bank....but not shoot toward Tx land or ok land . But if Tx season is open and lets say ok season is closed...you better go find another place to hunt lol. Ok rules trump tx rules the way it was explained to me.

@Heisman25G Really, Can you explain another way to ask these questions without stating Texoma, which is the only lake like this in the state of Texas that borders OK. Who cares if i ask a simple question. You act like there is only one spot on this lake to hunt and someone might find out that Texoma holds a lot of birds. You have no secret here sir.

1. Google earth
2. Call the game warden
3. See answer #2.

Just trying to get some info on how the duck hunting on the Big Ol Lake between Texas and Oklahoma that has the Red River running through it works. Is that better Heisman25G. You happy now that i didn't use the Lake Name

1. Google has the answers you seek.
2. No
3. Yes

Or, do I have that backwards... Can't remember.

I don't hunt that lake, had a friend go up there and it was an awful expierence to say the least so I don't waste my time. I don't like competing with a lot of guides anyway, but I'm sure there are ppl who do and they don't appreciate it. I'm more worried about a lake that I do hunt gets named and if you honestly don't think it has an effect on hunting traffic, you're wrong. I just want everyone to be respectful.

To answer your question, yes there is a different way to go about it than naming a lake. If you want proof, the internet used to not exist and ppl found answers to these questions.

I wish everyone a safe and successful season, I just don't want lake naming to be the norm on here. Don't want to upset anyone, just trying to remind everyone to be respectful. I'll leave it alone moving forward

Go worry about your lake then, Was just trying to find out information from people that have hunted it so i didnt have to call a game warden. And yes i have used other means to try and find these answers, which were unclear hints why i asked here.

My man, I will go worry about my lake, thank you for the advice. I think you'll see by the previous responses, I'm not alone with how I feel. Hope it all works out for you.

This is exactly what the game wardens are here for. I've called the ones for the counties I hunt on multiple occasions. If something isn't clear, I want a response from the guy enforcing the rules, not an Internet forum.

^^^ THIS

Otherwise I got some left over teal tags I'll sell ya...

Fact

Thanks guys for all of the information on the only lake between Texas and Oklahoma that has the red river in the middle of it. Just so i don't get my hand slapped from Heisman25G AKA(The Troll) for stating the name of the Lake

Heisman is a troll, but he was not trolling you, he was actually being nice. Many like him that get pissed if you name lakes, now at least you didn't ask about the duck hunting on the lake, then you would have taken a major internet thrashing. Rob Robertson has talked so much about Texoma over the years I have just become desensitized with that lake being named, and not just this forum, but every duckhunting forum out there.

But agree with what everyone said, you are best asking a GW these questions. And I would ask OK GW. Good luck.

This is rediculous. Really, naming lake texoma or red river? Why I rarely post here any more. This website has lost a lot of great members because of this as well.

You guys need to chill

Could not agree more. Any of the OP's questions could have been answered with a PM and a bit of helpful advice rather than the unhelpful rants.

You are going to get reported for naming all of those lakes.
