Duck season

Texas duck hunters searched the lakes, rivers and bays for ducks this season and mostly found very few birds. It was a big-time disappointing season overall. Photo by Robert Sloan

Thank goodness this duck season is over. It was absolutely the worst that I can remember after over five decades of chasing these wonderful waterfowl. I don’t know what happened, it’s anybody’s guess. Its’s not that we have an acute shortage of ducks.

The South Zone duck season opener was better than expected, with the best shooting taking place on flooded fields and small lakes. A whole lot of teal fills limits, with a scattering of pintails.

Duck season opener best in many years

The deer season across Texas opens this Saturday at first light, ditto that for the South Zone duck season and when you stack college football on top of that it’s going to be a busy day for thousands of hunters.
