Trip Overview

This ain't your average guided hunt. We're talking real-deal public land action where you'll learn to outsmart both the birds and the competition. Our guide knows these lakes like the back of his hand - from Eagle Mountain to Tawakoni. He'll show you how to read the water, set up your spread, and call like a pro.

Tracking Tips & Terrain

Public land hunting is a whole different ballgame, and we'll make sure you're ready to play. We might be slogging through marshes, setting up in flooded timber, or hugging the shoreline - it all depends on where the birds are flying. You'll learn how to scout effectively, choose the right spot, and stay hidden from keen-eyed ducks. Our guide will share his tried-and-true decoy patterns and calling techniques that work even when surrounded by other hunters. And if you're up for a real adventure, we can even head west to Stamford for a full weekend hunt. Just remember, flexibility is key - we'll call you with a meeting point based on current conditions and bird patterns.

Target Game Breakdown

The DFW Metroplex is a duck hunter's paradise, with a variety of species calling our lakes home throughout the season. Here's what you might encounter:

Mallards: The king of ducks, these big greenheads are a favorite among hunters. They're wary and challenging, often coming in late in the morning after scouting the area. Nothing beats watching a flock of mallards cup their wings as they commit to your spread.

Gadwall: Often overlooked, these "gray ducks" are more common than you might think. They're fast flyers and great eating. Look for them mixed in with other puddle ducks or hanging out near vegetation-rich shorelines.

Teal: Blue-winged and Green-winged Teal are the speedsters of the duck world. They come through early in the season and provide fast-paced action. Be ready to snap-shoot as these little rockets buzz your decoys.

Pintails: With their elegant profile and distinctive call, pintails are a prized catch. They're typically more abundant later in the season and prefer open water setups.

Wood Ducks: These colorful ducks love wooded areas near water. We might catch them coming off roost early in the morning or jumping them in flooded timber. Their acrobatic flying makes for an exciting hunt.

Remember, our guide is an expert at identifying and calling in all these species. You'll learn to distinguish between them on the wing and adjust your tactics accordingly.

Why Hunters Keep Coming Back

Sure, private land hunts have their place. But there's something special about outsmarting ducks on public ground. It's challenging, it's unpredictable, and man, is it rewarding when it all comes together. Our customers love the hands-on learning experience and the thrill of competing against other hunters (and sometimes skybusters). Plus, the diverse lakes we hunt mean no two trips are ever the same. You might be in a layout boat one day and hip-deep in flooded grass the next. It's real hunting, and it'll make you a better waterfowler, guaranteed.
