Yeah I had fun the year before last. I'm pretty sure Gene would come too.
Overall though I think the THF hunt probably should be run through an outfitter because there are normally random new people that don't know much about duck hunting and guides would be needed to hold hands.
Dear Lord please bullwhip me for saying this but I agree, Marcstar is in the lead. Please nobody use this as a quote!!!

I we run a smaller more hands on guide service. If this idea had been pitched to me a few months ago we might could have done something. I would suggest one of the bigger more numbers oriented guides like Ducks R Us. Drew runs a top notch service and can handle 10 or 20 guns. We just don't roll that way. We keep our groups small

I am talking about the coast. I rent a house at the coast every year. Sometimes more than once a year. It goes over without a hitch.
So far as booking without you, you had the exact same opportunity I had. I was willing to write a check for 12 spots and guarantee he fill it. Nobody stepped up to the plate to guarantee he fill the spots, I did. Wal what part of the coast do you hunt? I have hunted from Louisianna to Mexico. When we rent a house we either go south of Rockport and rent one of the houses ont he canal. I know of another house on a bayou that feeds East Matagorda Bay. That is more my style. It is an extremely easy hunt. I hunt Redheads and Pintails in the evening. Sleep late in the morning, maybe go throw a lure on one of the deep reefs. Hang out, cook and just kick back for a weekend. Last year we blistered the Redheads and got a few pintails too. We hunted an outfitter's blind who is a friend of mine. The guys I took limited really fast on Redheads as I was putting the decoys out. I figured you hunted somewhere around RP or CC. If you guys wanted to travel a little further South this season I can hook y'all up with a place to stay. We have had duck hunts on the nearby bays that have lasted less than 10 minutes. I have access to a house that is less than 5 minutes from the ramp.

Wayne let me know. You want to do that. I'd rather try to do that after the Xmas...I figure by then all the geese around the prairie will be smart enough where I won't feel like chasing them. I am absolutley going to do it. Me, you, Dave and Garrett. There is plenty of room for whoever wants to go. Like I said it is an easy hunt. where we hunted the sand was like walking on concrete. No mud, no fuss. We just pulled the boat up to the blind and put our gear in. I towed the boat by the bow rope and pitched about 8 dozen deeks out. They were alreasy coming in. It was different than the norm but I liked it. I'd probably be down for that! Just be sure to pick a weekend I'm off

I cant believe you still bring this up, I told you I wasnt mad about the hunt ending so fast, I was mad that I got stuck on a hole that held nothing but those trash duck mallards!!!

FowlD and Texased, let's go. I know Dave Spear, Marcstar, Garret, Tx-waterfowl and Moderno are in. We just have to nail a date. I got a boat that will handle 2 more, so that is three covered. FowlDreams are you going to pony up a boat? Moderno has one but I can't speak for him. I am sure he will be seeing this here pretty soon.

are you going to pony up a boat? Outboard work? Yes it will. Just when we get to the blinds you will have to go slow until you drag and then walk the boat for maybe 50 to 100 yards on hard sand. I am telling you the spot we are headed is as easy as it gets. Blinds are already built (the outfitter cares not if we hunt them), hard sand 3 mile boat ride. Super easy. We can fish or hunt the mornings or both. whatever we want to do. So Flatonia man, you in?

Could be, depends on the date of course. My son has a couple of drawn hunts that are already set but I think one is during the split. I would bring the boat, too, if it all works out. Being from Bay City it would be nice to hit the ol stompin' grounds. I think the place you're talking about hunting is the same one you pointed my to last year. I hope it works out!
