Rain + Ducks......

    = scattered like crazy..........

  If we don't dry out anytime soon the teal are gonna be scattered. There gonna be holed up on every flooded pasture in the countryside. Best bet is gonna be over rice early in the morning or open water patches in late mornin to afternoon.  Gonna be a lot of scouting due if this rain keeps up.  Not to mention the full moon is at the end of the month. Be nice if it was a week earlier. 

SCOUT...SCOUT....SCOUT

I'd rather it be wet than dry. BUt of course its either flooding or we are in drought conditions, never perfect.

  you got that right.. No offense to the east texas and north texas boys when we have drought conditions aroound the ducks are concentrated to the marsh and easier to predict flight patterns and roost's.  when its this wet theres so much pasture and flooded timber holes that aren't accessable they get too spreead out.  Either way that's why they call it hunting.

Yrs back you could guarentee if I leased a rice field it was gonna be a wet winter, with water every where. Thats why I quit.

  yeah,

there are very few places i would actually lease for ducks. down here anyways just because of the ton's of food accessable to them that isn't huntable. I can go out and scout for them and find em where there resting on open water and shoot limit's or close to limits the makority of the time.  Or just go to rockport where the pintail and redheads are guarenteed. but then again i go a little more to the extreme to find them than most. It's not beyond me to sit in a spot all night just make sure someone doen't get it before me. 

now deer that's a different story. I definantly gotta give props to the guys who hunt in national forest and kill deer every year.
