Report - December 14, 2009 |
| Report from Mike Jolley |
The first half of the waterfowl hunting season brought multiple heavy rains. There is no shortage of water in the North Texas area. Fall cold fronts started sending ducks and geese down by the droves during the split. More mallards have shown on lakes, sloughs, rivers and reservoirs. During the split we also saw a large number of Teal.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department reports (North Texas Zone); “Wood duck numbers are good in backwater timber. Big water areas are holding lots of diver ducks like ringed-necks, scaup and canvasbacks.”
Since the split, we have seen a great number of waterfowl coming in with the recent early cold fronts. Make sure and follow our Field Reports and our Harvest Board.

North Texas Weekly Migratory Hunting Report from TPWD.
"
North Zone Duck: "The second-split opener was much better than the initial opening of duck season. Many hunters reported good shoots on mallards and wood ducks in Pineywood sloughs and rivers. Caddo Lake and Lake O’Pines were good for divers, gadwalls and a few mallards. Lake Fork and Toledo Bend saw good shoots in coves for mallards, canvasbacks, gadwalls and green-winged teal. Hunting remained steady around the zone boundaries of IH-10. Freshwater impoundments held pintails, wigeons, shovelers and teal. Ponds around Sealy, Brookshire, China and Hamshire enjoyed combo shoots for ducks and geese in the thick fog. Another push of cold air should prompt more mallards to cross the Red River. Prospects are good.."
We hope you enjoy the photographs below and will come back every
week to check out the weekly Field
Reports, and our pictures. Make sure to check out our weekly Harvest Board. |
We will be updating the Field
Reports on a weekly basis. If you haven't seen our "Duck
Man" video yet... you really should take a few minutes there.
The video footage was shot at Pintail Farms last year and the music
is great. Be sure to read the Lone
Star Outdoor News article. You can access the article by Ray Sasser from the Dallas Morning news here.
