most of my trips I can usually hold out for a bull sprig for a kicker bird. They really build in numbers on red slough toward the first of jan. We have had close to 1000 of them on top count. They are good eatn ducks also. My brothers buddy is a taxidermist and he refuses to eat a sprig and mounts em all! House nearly full of em now!

If you ever want to come to se ok hunting ducks just holler. I manage several wma's here that have loads of sprigs and greenheads in the late season. I made about 10 trips this year and limited out all but 1 of them. I know that east texas has a ton of duck habitat and can never understand why 75% of my hunters are from south of the red

I'd imagine it has to do with the cost of the leases or hunts down here....plus the massive amount of people on public water around the metromess. There weren't just a whole lot of birds in deep ETX this year. I think we had a total of 2 acorns hit the ground this year and I'm betting a squirrel ate on and a hog ate the other.

Oregon ppl...is it worth it for y'all to lease land to hunt up that way? I stumbled across several tracts on a timber mgmt site and was curious if it's similar to down here with easy tags for residents.

It depends on what your after and where the property is. I have never considered leasing property, there's plenty of public land to hunt.

I was just curious, I really don't even know what parts of Oregon is known for what.. counties I saw were Benton, Jackson & Josephine (conifer/hardwood mix tracts). We have a lot of thick public in our immediate area, people just prefer to lease to have more control over hunting pressure and what gets shot.

Going to our hunting show tomorrow to see how my antelope scored and harass Fred Trueblood at Eastmans booth! Ran into him at Home Depot thursday after I took my antelope in so already got to give him a bad time once already for free:) Hope Ryan Hadfield is there again so I can pick his brain a bit about WY and ID. He has been there the last 2 years. I usually wait till sunday, the last day, to go when I take heads in since its over an hour away and I have to pick them up the last day anyways. Besides I can get in free on the last day since I took them to the show!

Are you concerned that you don't have enough posts, and the other member's will think you are a newbie. Well now we have just what you need, the "Official Post Padding Thread".

Feel free to post about anything or everything totally random, post random numbers and characters, post your children's quiz grades, post about brushing your teeth, post about how you trim your nose hairs, it does not matter! Just boost the numbers of posts that you have. You too can go from hardly any posts to 100, 200 posts or more in no time.

You may think a pad posting thread like this would cost you $129.99 or even $159.99, but you can have it for only 48 monthly payments of only $9.99, yes only 48 monthly payments of $9.99! And that's not all, if you act now, for a limited time it is absolutely free.

Just think, when you reach that prestigious 1000 post level, people will look at you think you too actually know something about hunting and the outdoors even though you have no clue whatsoever!


DISCLAIMER: This thread may irritate a few of our more grumpy members, who don't approve of having fun, however if and when they post their complains, they can be officially known as a post padder as well ;)


Warning: Excessive use of this thread may cause dizziness, anorexia, blindness, insanity, baldness, obesity, incontinence, diarrhea, sleep deprivation, infertility, cancer, the jitters, unreasonable boldness in grizzly country, make you think you can fly, and/or constipation.
250 posts! woohoo! Only 750 more before I'm a certified expert in the great outdoors. I'll be accepting offers to become a member of your pro staff, write or edit articles for your magazine, fill in on your hunting shows as "a certified wildlife biologist", and go on all expenses paid hunting trips all across the globe.
