Last weekend drove from Houston to Granbury and back. Saw two spots with ducks the whole way. In a flooded creek bed off 6 south of Waco and some resident Gaddies north of Granbury on 51.

Too early for our country!

Maybe more after this cold front.

Did some north zone scouting yesterday around Lake Ray Roberts (just a poor public land hunter here) and the water level is up 3-4 ft over last year.
If this front brings down birds I expect they'll be widely scattered. Have only been hunting up here a couple of seasons but it's definitely the most water in that time period.

Heading out to public land on Saturday morning. Hoping this cold front will have pushed some birds down. Reports are that it has bumped all the birds that were holding up north.

Wonder if those arent just the local birds that are always here though... I'll be hunting in Huntsville so I'm hoping thats not the case and theyre piling down here!

The new pup got her first retrieve this morning. Just a little coot I breasted out and gave to her.

No photo though. It was cold as ****

In addition to full straps, I got this beauty the other morning to add to the wall! I have been on quite a few hunts when someone else shoots a cinnamon. This is the first one I have shot.

Could very well be, but seeing them about a day and a half ahead of the first big cold front gave me reason for optimism.

Looking to add variety to my very small decoy spread. Is the better choice to add different species of ducks or add some geese to my spread?

ETA currently have mallard drake and hen floaters.

Spent a good chunk of time at Somerville today. Surprisingly very few birds seen. Too much sheet water I guess.

Hard to answer that w a blanket catch-all Answer. Depends what you're hunting, what type of water, hunting pressure, what part of the state.

In Texas if you're targeting ducks it's not a bad idea to mix in some gadwall drakes and hens and 1/4 -1/3 teal. A pair or two pair of widgeon are also helpful if you hunt over moss/grassy water.

Mallards tends to like smaller water that's secluded. So if you're hunting big water I'd keep the mallard numbers down.

If you are around Reno. I'll hunt the refuge with you. There were a bunch of pintails and mallards out today.
