Rick wrote:There have been September teal seasons when I've opted to hunt elsewhere, rather than grind (and re-grind, and re-grind and re-...) it in the heat, but I doubt that will be an option this year. Just going to have to cross fingers and toes and get after it early if I can.

So I'm back to praying for a good mallard year and don't mind a bit if they're headed for Flores' well managed duck paradise, as long as they come by close enough for me to see them and them to hear me.

I'm so far out of the inner circles that I hadn't even heard of Lake Arthur Club or know of it's rough whereabouts. Must be fancy

Duck Engr wrote:Never considered having to pump the marsh but that makes sense. So the neighbors pumped enough to flood the whole marsh and y’all were the beneficiary of their work? I’m obviously not familiar with any levee system you may or may not have in the marsh but that’s a weird concept to me coming from Ag land.

There are advantages to having “average” hunting spots. Don’t have to worry about people buying it out from under you haha.

The pretty average farms we just got priced out of came within $50 a blind of doubling this year.
