This year is one of those TX years... I hunted twice in teal and never fired a round. We've had about zip for ducks since. Not nearly enough to waste the time hunting. Had some friends that just HAD to go... and never saw a thing on a couple of trips.
Of course if I made time to head to the coast, you can almost always shoot a few redheads and a pintail or two but sometimes you have to work hard for them too.
Just not really worth a flip this year.
But it needed a rest, last year was the best duck season I can ever remember seeing. You could stand in the middle of the river and kill your limit. Even on the last day of season you could do it that way. Even without decoys. We owe em some back this year.... A buddy that guided took over 1000 birds off one stretch of river last season...
