Dudes having a conversation with himself

I would not hunt with him.

Did he tell himself to keep to himself? Not sure who he was talking to there...

Every Hunt, including guided hunts we have gone on, rules and who calls shot are always determined before the hunt.

I don’t have a problem w guide shooting “leaking ducks” as long it’s not inside 50 yards on my side- I have been called a “preppy” or “yuppie” in my younger days, and have rarely run into a red neck guide that can outshoot me or our group of hunters.

Now, my group would have discussion pre hunt- and depending on situation/ set up- we would set the rules- not the guide. If I am paying, you are definitely not poaching my birds- unless there are piles feet down- which is another story.

We take turns anyway and shoot our lanes.

That all makes perfect sense to me. It is rare I hunt with other people, but when I do, I normally just go with the flow and hunt the way the group wants to hunt, as long as they are safe. "yahoo style", I normally just wait till everyone empties their gun and then I shoot, and that is normally a duck going strait up, love those shots, or a duck peeling off, I like that shot too. But my preference is to be strategic, shot caller, and everyone shoot their lanes, they key is for everyone to be shooting at different ducks. 4 people unloading their gun at the same duck is kinda dumb, I don't do it.

I hunted with JP once and ask him if he wanted to call the shots and I also was talking about shooting lanes, and he said "Just shoot the f*ck'n duck".

I have shot 1 duck besides cripples on all the guided hunts I’ve done.


One hunt last year I picked up over 70 hulls from 3 hunters and they shot 3 ducks, and over 75% at least were decoying birds right in their face.

This year I’ve had all pretty good shooters.

I replied to Sinkey
Guy I laugh at people like yourself
You are no comparison to me
A lot of you on here are a bunch of Gunsels

Amen……. I do love waiting for everybody to empty their guns and see them poor duckies, looking at you bright eyed going straight up.

Now that’s pretty darn cool family tree

Thank you Sir

Duck hunting is a lifestyle !
Guided for years , I’d sure hate to compete on public waters these days.
You can thank social media and D. Dynasty for the crowds.

Back in the early 2000's guiding was fun because there were plenty of ducks. Around 2014 the ducks started disappearing, and now they are pretty much gone. I stopped guiding because I couldn't charge folks if we didn't see any ducks. Seems like the flyway has moved to West Texas and far East Texas. They sure aren't coming down the middle through north Tx anymore. I think the sale of the large peanut fields around Lake Whitney are the reason. When they turned the peanut fields into gravel pits the ducks had no reason to come down the middle of texas any longer.

Number of reasons they aren’t here. I’m beginning to think that the shear numbers of ducks do not exist to begin with. I’ve seen a lot of states winter waterfowl surveys 30-50% down. If the overall population is relatively stable and healthy as they say, states being down that much should mean that some states somewhere have to be up a relative percentage. They have to be somewhere, where is it?

I’ve heard more mixed and poor results out of ok, is, and mo this year than previously.

so have we decided who has the biggest pee pee yet?

The ducks are on paper in the desks of so called biologist.
