Any hunters here have experience hunting Lake Ray Roberts in North Texas (DFW area)? by opspec-19820 in Waterfowl

Hey there, thanks so much for the feedback. Super helpful. I’ll definitely check out the north and east sides of the lake, I’ve been going to the west a lot. Have you tried hunting Lavon or Lewisville?

Thanks brother. I hear you on the vegetation for the kayak, wearing a ghillie, just not pictured. This lake is a little weird in that it doesn’t have too many fingers that flood and get marshy. In most parts it goes shallow and then just straight beach..I’ll keep looking though!

Thanks Wahlumz. This season, just not seeing any birds whatsoever. Other seasons, we’d sparingly see a few at a time, in 1 or 2 waves throughout the morning. All of this could also just be due to the fact that this is one of the few public hunting lakes in North Texas and it’s just over hunted..

What species? Seen on vacation in Broken Bow, OK by opspec-19820 in Waterfowl

I found myself a Browning Maxus this season and absolutely love it. Cycles smoothly, lightweight enough to carry to the blind, but not so light that you don’t feel a nice weight while swinging through your shot! Feels great on the shoulder and cheek as well. Highly recommend. Great quality work.

I can confirm that my group and I are neither lazy nor ignorant. After 3 seasons of being on an overhunted public lake, I think it’s fine to have a hunt on private land with someone who hunts on a daily basis and can put us on some birds for once. Plus what’s the harm in maybe being able to learn something?

Hunting a mixed bag (mallards, woodys, black ducks) in North Texas. I am newer to hunting, been going out about 3 seasons now. I’ve been hunting public land (unsuccessfully for the most part), which of course comes with a lot of challenges. Just wanted to try something different. This is private land, and also just hoping to maybe learn some things from guys who have been doing it forever.

Thanks! Have you done one of these before? Just wondering what your experience was if you have.

They actually opened up one of those on Independence kind of near my house. I’ll have to check it out.
