Went to texas the first week in January. Not a lot of ducks there judging by what the locals told me, but still a ton of birds. Hunted strictly public land diy and to have never been there before, I think we did ok for a two day hunt. I�m gonna mount the pintail, really wanted a blue wing drake as I�ve never killed a full plumed one, but my buddy got it. We killed more birds that we didn�t get pics of. We went to Corpus Christi to where my cousin lived and worked for four years. my cousin was electrocuted on the job as a lineman in Culman alabama and died. We had this trip planned before he was killed, and almost didn�t follow through with it. But we decided to go because that�s what he would�ve wanted. He kept telling me that I needed to come to texas and kill a pintail. Pintails were his favorite birds, mine as well. Well I kept my promise, even if it was late. Pintails are such beautiful ducks, most people take them for granted. This will be my third one to get mounted, come hell or high water this bird is going on the wall.

Congrats on a good trip!

Congrats. That drake widgeon is purty too.

Man I'm sorry for you and your family's loss...beautiful bird

Where are you seeing a wigeon?

Awesome hunt, and something you will always remember. That sprig is very nice, a drake has been my unicorn for a long time now.

Awesome hunt

Is that duck with the brown and green head not a widgeon? If not, please educate me.

My apologies, I should have said green wing teal. I went and educated myself so you wouldn't have too

I figured you were talking about the green wing. Wigeons are bigger and have a white strip on the top of their heads with brown and green sides. They used to be called baldpates before having their name changed to American Wigeon and are also known as cotton tops. Their is your worthless duck trivia for the day lol.

Nice!

Beautiful birds. Looks like y�all did well for a 2 day trip.

Awesome man. Looks like yall had a good time. I hunted TX for the first time last year around Corpus Christi. Did you guys hunt in bay at all or did yall stay on freshwater?

yea hunted strictly brackish water, never hunted any freshwater at all. How�d yall do when y�all went?

Nice. I�d be having the blue wing, green wing, and pintail mounted. Beautiful birds

Did real well. Killed a limit of redheads in the bay the first morning we hunted. After that the winds got up to bout 40 mph, so we had the hunt a freshwater lake about an hour north of Corpus. Killed 24 the first morning at the lake ( 11 species) and 19 the second. Got a cinnamon teal for the wall. We used a guide, but I�d like to go back on a DIY. Every piece of ground we hunted was public anyway.

Thats the most beautiful chocolate color in the world on a full plummage sprig. CONGRATS!

id love to kill a cinnamon. Sounds like y�all had a great time

Beautiful bird! Congrats buddy!

Nice. Good looking birds. Congrats
