Lucy's return to the Duck Blind
Daybreak arrives, buzzed by teal, gadwalls, more teal, shovelers, more teal and a couple of mallards, Lucy returns to the blind for the beginning of her 2009/10 season. A limit would've been in the bag by 8am had her hunting partner kept his end of the deal. Nearing the bottom of the shell box, a bird falls making the first of 2 nice retrieves in the morning. See attached photos of Lucy's triumphant return to the duck blind...
We here at Pintail Farms are excitedly awaiting the end of the split, with the large number of birds coming in it should be fantastic. As I write this Pepe is on the other line watching Mallards pour in the lakes.

North Texas Weekly Migratory Hunting Report from TPWD.

North Zone Duck: "The first split of duck season ended at sunset Nov. 29 and results across the region ranged from poor to fair. Lack of ducks in Texas was not the problem, rather, too much water and flooding put a kink in efforts. The good news is more mallards have shown with the fronts and receding water should make backwater sloughs and rivers prime when the second split opens Dec. 12. Biologist Jared Laing said most of the mast crop was washed away with the flooding, but sloughs and river bottoms have been attracting good numbers of wood ducks. Gadwalls and wigeons have been taken in shallow coves of lakes and reservoirs. Hunting remained steady around the zone boundaries of IH-10. Freshwater impoundments have held pintails, wigeons, shovelers and wigeons. Hopefully strong concentrations of green-winged teal show by the second opener. Prospects are fair to good."

We will be updating the Field

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.
