Hunting
Report from Texas Parks and Wildlife:
North Zone Dove:
"Lows reached the high 40s in the Panhandle this week, which should push migrant
mourners to the region. Mourning doves continue to work corn and milo fields
in the morning, and watering holes in the afternoon. Hunter participation has
waned as of late. The Abilene and Knox City areas have been good in the afternoon.
Soybean fields near Bogota and Paris have been fair at best. Some harvested cotton
fields have held birds. Collin County fields have coughed up limits around treelines.
The season runs through October 31. Prospects are fair to good."
Waterfowl:
" Northeast Texas lakes, shallow flats and ponds are drying from the absence
of rain during the past month; however, water throughout the region has been
abundant enough to sustain the lack of precipitation. Lakes and reservoirs are
beginning to see the a few shovelers, gadwalls, wigeons along with blue-winged
teal. The coast has received one to two inches of rain during the past two weeks,
which has recharged shallow flats. Pintails, shovelers, gadwalls, wigeons and
teal are on the prairie and in the marsh. Mild conditions have done nothing to
prompt a migrations; however, cooler temperatures this week could bring new birds.
Specklebellies are arriving daily and expect more this week with the cooler temperatures
to the north. Duck and goose season opens in both zones Nov. 3. The High Plains
Mallard Management Unit season opens Oct. 20-21."
Work is still going on in preparation of the start of waterfowl season.
The wells are all running to keep the water levels up for the birds,
and new blinds are being built. This week's Field Report contains
more pictures from a hunting trip taken in Canada by one of the Pintail
Farms members. We hope you enjoy them.
Make sure and visit our "2007-2008
Waterfowl Harvest Board" for an updated count as we go through
waterfowl hunting season. We will be updating the Field
Reports on a weekly basis, and Photo
Gallery on a monthly 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. |
