When a river has a 25' wall of water moving at 30K cfs per second, NOTHING will remain. All food, if any is present, will be gone.

That one is on the house, grasshopper

Yep a duck will never ever land there again for at least 50 years. Resting and eating aquatic vegetation are all highly over rated to begin with.

Never fails, you always got some smart arse comment

And don't you forget it! You just stick to killin your trashducks on your rice patty and stinky marsh and leave the real bird killin to me.

Mallards in Buda...you funny, round eye

Never fails, you always got some smart arse comment

Airboat huh?

When hinting a river it's not so much the GW you gotta worry about as much as the local LEO's that don't have a clue on the law of rivers.

That might be the voice of experience talking

Happy Birthday Feather Duster.

Like someone spotlighting hogs at night. Legal and acceptable, but often people will think you spotlighting deer and call you in, so it is best to call the area game warden and let him know in advance.

This is one of those things with hunting rivers if it is not a section known for public duck hunting. For example I scouted via kayak from a bridge access a section of the Brazos once just after duck season ended. I was looking for a wide section I had found on Google Earth. I found it and it had several ducks present when I paddled to it.

I called the Game warden for the region, asked about the exact location, if he was aware of any adjacent landowner or hunter problems, asked it was located in any area of city limits that might have no hunting rules and so on.

I let him know I was aware of the shooting over property law, trespassing law, waste of game law, no driving in the river bed law (in relation to launching). Also I let him know I was aware that there were deer stands in the area visible from the river and that I would not be hunting on the river until after deer season out of consideration to the deer hunters. And that I would be hunting from my boat or from a gravel bar and be selective on my shots for clean kills and only up or down river and never in the direction of adjacent property.

The point being I told him he will still likely get a call on me from landowners or ranchers in the area and if he would like me to let him know when I am hunting as a courtesy. He did not, but told me I had a great idea and would probably have a honey hole to myself for years go come.

Fetherduster, if I ran this outfit I would dock Elders wages for joshing with ya
