My 6 year old has been duck hunting with me for a year now and is dying to kill a wood duck. We primarily hunt the coast so we dont really have an opportunity to shoot them where we typically hunt.

I want to take him on a good wood duck shoot this season. I have killed them in the past on Rayburn but cannot for the life of me remember what back creek we shot them off of and it is too far for me to scout and figure out.

Do any of you guys know of a good wood duck hole that you would be willing to share with me? I have been duck hunting my whole life, so I realize this is a shot in the dark posting for this kind of info on a public forum, but there may be a chance someone has a pile of them on the back 40 and wouldn't mind my boy shooting a few. Willing to pay a gate fee but am not interested in hunting with a "guide".

He has normal school stuff and I work M-F but that doesn't mean we can't play hooky for a day. I'm in Galveston County so less than 2 hours away.

I'll PM you my contact info now. Thanks in advance for offering!

I was hoping you would see this post and not surprised by your offer! Good bull, sir!

Sorry, I cant PM.

Lots of wood ducks just south of you along the creeks and oxbows of the Colorado, San Bernard and Brazos watersheds. I grew up on Caney Creek in Matagorda County, it is an ancient channel of the Colorado.
Wood Ducks would fly in by the hundreds to feed on pecans. May try some of the coastal outfitters and fishing guides to see if they have a spot for wood duck gate fee hunt.

Maximus, if you can, try and make a trip to hunt with CS78. He has a great setup (2 actually), and y'all should see some birds to shoot at.
