I hunted one of our properties that's just west of Katy, Texas today. Wasn't a bad drive, 60 miles down I10 with a 75 mph speed limit. Took me about an hour and I stopped for gas. FINALLY, there were birds up until about 9:30. There were few teal, mostly big birds. I wasn't shooting particularly well, but still got a couple. One of the guys shot 5, the other 1, so the total was 8. The guy that shot the one didn't wanna mess with birds, so the other guy and I split 4 birds a piece.
Lots of redheads over there. I'm used to shooting redheads off the bay. The limit for 'em is only 2 and we shot 6. We mostly quit shooting because we had our limits of redheads. There were still ducks working around.
The other two guys don't call well, so they let me have the call duties. I particularly like calling, trying to work the birds, and they worked pretty well this morning. Good fun. Hoping it gets better, but I'm no longer zonked. I think this little front must have helped, but there may have been birds over in Katy all along, don't know.
Quite a few specklebelly geese over there. I worked a few flocks around, but we had nothing out to get 'em down. I think I heard ONE snow goose out of all the geese, everything else was specklebellies. So, nope, the geese ain't down here, yet.
