TEXAS DUCKS, COLOR & DIVERSITY

Let's Get It On!

You can't beat Texas ducks when it comes to species diversity and full plumage color! Fourteen different species of Texas ducks can be found on the middle coast. When it comes to numbers, Texas ducks will black out the sun! Bottom line, we built our Texas duck and goose hunting business on a high level of client success while other operators have faded away.  We have litte taste for going through the motions or "talking about it".  We are the biggest advocate for our clients.  Our Texas duck and goose hunting logistics and strategies are always geared for your best success afield.

We are located in the wintering grounds for 90% of the world's population of Redhead ducks according to USFWS. Bull Sprig Pintail, Wigeon, Northern Shoveler, Mottled Duck, Bufflehead, and Greater and Lesser Scaup are popular among collectors as well.   

LAYOUT BOAT HUNTING

"Like Nothing I've Ever Experienced"!

New for 2009, layout boat duck hunting in Texas.  We had been curious for a number of years about gunning these boats on the Texas coast.  With the addition of Capt. Matt Raley of Hideaway Hollow Outfitters, LLC from Prairie du Chien, WI to the Capt's of Coastal Waterfowl this season, we found out exactly how exciting layout boat hunting can be!  Gunning layout boats here on the Texas Coast has totally re-invigorated my love for duck hunting and we learned a great deal about their effectiveness during the 2008/09 duck season. 

Yankees gun these boats primarily on lakes and big water for Divers.  Our curiousity was concerning their application on Puddle Ducks as well as Divers here in Texas.  We answered the question concerning Puddle Duck lethality on our first attempt at a layout boat hunt.  We gunned the boat "dressed" using some camo net and freshly cut Oleander branches. Capt. James Cunningham gunned from the boat first and was approaching his limit before we got the airboat parked.  On this day, we took three man limits of Pintail, Gadwall, and Teal.  The whole experience left me awestruck and with a fresh new look at Texas Duck Hunting. Laying on top of the water at eye-level with my decoys, ARE YOU KIDDING!  Check out all the new photos from the layout hunts on our photo gallery and be sure to check out our layout boat hunting video.

Texas Goose Hunting

A Little Different Than The Pressure Prairies

If Texas Geese are what you are after, we’ve got access to thousands of acres on the coastal prairies wintering Snow, Blue, Ross, Specklebelly, and Canadian geese. Our guides are full-time local goose hunting professionals that take pride in every hunt.  Unlike goose hunting in other areas of Texas, our hunts are a little different.  For one, seldom are our shooters laying on the ground. We also use smaller numbers of high quality decoys and don't favor windsocks or large rag spreads.  Our birds don't like them, and neither do we.  Come try something different, gunning coastal Texas geese.

Combinations, Cast & Blast, Hogs

Our most popular combination trips are a duck/fish combination or goose/duck combination.  We offer cast and blast combinations trips including a morning duck hunt followed by an action package afternoon fishing trip. Goose/duck combinations are available birds and weather permitting. We can also add hog hunting to any trip package.

Speckled Trout and Texas Redfish along with Blue Catfish, and Black Drum are among the species we catch in local waters. Fishing trips are tailored to client enjoyment and offers a full-day in the great outdoors!

During waterfowl season, we offer hog hunts over baited locations. We can provide rifles at a small charge and our hogs range in size from 100 lbs. to well over 200 lbs. Cleaning charges apply. During the fishing season, we offer hog hunts using dogs. This is not for the weak at heart and we are among few offering this service commercially.  Contact us for pricing and additional information and availability.
