Guest beat-em_deep Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 How will it be due to Ike??
BucketSitR Posted September 25, 2008 Report Posted September 25, 2008 Rumor has it (OR just my wishful thinking!!) that much of the marsh grassland has been salt water killed so the ducks will stay further North. PS Dear Ducks,,, Please come back to Rayburn!! Teal season has been one of the better ones so far. Good Luck to everyone. BucketSitR
txstar Posted September 25, 2008 Report Posted September 25, 2008 A little humor for ya'll. Back in 2001, we were hunting our lease on 1985. We were sitting in the grass on the levees. My buddy had a one year old black lab, who had good potential. The dog was bolting into the water when he heard the safeties go off on the shotguns, and he flushed the ducks away. My buddy decided to chain him to the bucket he was sitting on. A group of teal flew in and the dog bolted, tightening the chain, pulling the bucket from under my friend. The bucket, attached to the chain attached to the lab went into the water...all the contents in the bucket went into the water. My freind went into the water on his back, filled his waders up, dunked his shotgun, lost his shells, calls, binos, his cap, etc. We expected him to shoot the lab, but his gun was submerged, he was wet and cold and then he let out a barage of expletives. The six of us laughed the hardest we have ever laughed to the point of crying! Have some fun out there.

BucketSitR Hunting is good at Rayburn, how about a little heads-up for a Dayton boy.
BucketSitR Posted September 25, 2008 Report Posted September 25, 2008 Heard reports of limits both up north and down south. My cousin had 4 of the best hunts he has had in 20 years while he was on Tealcation from IKE. 10 minute limits. He said one limit took him 30 minutes cause 15 were taken up by his "puppy" getting after his first crippled bird. He wishes he had a video camera. Said he also saw several flights of greenheads one morning. Maybe the action will continue and i can find time to make a hunt.
Guest beat-em_deep Posted September 26, 2008 Report Posted September 26, 2008 where at on Rayburn cause me and my cousin and a friend want to go saturday but have never hunted up there before. we have only fished a ton.. so any ideas or tips on where to go and what to do would be helpful and appreciated. =P
bronco1 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 Shot some teal this morning, all the way down past Alvin.
commander Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 i hunted the day after ike hit..i hunted the ricefields and i still limited out on teal as well as the next day and day after so it really didnt effect it that much..but i also used to hunt the marshes around here but there pretty much destroyed so i figure the ducks will stay a little more north this year so i have been checkin out the lakes so if anyone has any advice on hunting the lakesi would certianly appreciate it....
Jasperfan Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Don't get to excirted about the lakes just yet. They haven't held ducks really well for probably close to ten years. I wouldn't bet on ducks hanging up here, I bet they'll move on further south.

bronco1 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 does any1 know if they are going to open the refuge back up or pace track or middleton?? I doubt it, but haven't heard yet.
Guest beat-em_deep Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 The actual refuge will remained closed throughout the season BUT middleton and pace tract are to open back up to the public December 13 .. They reccommend you going to scout them if you are going to be hunting due to debris they will have most of it either removed or marked .. You will be able to scout Thursday December 11 and Friday December 12 during daylight hours only.
