    Pick an unused blind in Lighthouse Cove out of Port O'Connor, there's like 75 to choose from seriously. All public property.

      Just hunted Ports Mansfield this past thanksgiving break. 4 of us put in with a Jon boat out of Port Mansfield and hunted the public land south. It took about a 20minutes to get to. In 4 days we harvested 80 birds. Hundreds of thousands of red heads located in Port M, you just need to let them fly and pick out the other species. We didn't even use built blinds. We took a machete and cut down some mangrove trees on the island and set them in front of us. Perfect hunting blind. To bring in the ducks all you need is a decent set of decoys. We even shot two geese. Great time.

            If I had a line on where they where I'd tell you...I'm not an original Texan.... Telling folks where we killin'em is a Louisiana way of life....I don't get after them till round Christmas but if I get on em' I'll let you know. I hunt Cooper and Lavon and it's too much work for 1 man to go out and shoot a limit so company is always welcome

              Richland creek WMA for sure, theres a reason its popular.

                Dam B can be good at times, lots of good backwater to hunt, be careful if you bring a dog, lots of Gators!

                  Had a hunting lease on San Antonio Bay next to the Aransas refuge. While wade I noticed the ducks didn't pay much attention to you if you didn't look at them and the late morning fishermen moving around in the bay stirred them up a good bit. Pretty easy to get a limit pass shooting ducks.

                      If you want to kill many birds, you will need to scout the hunters and the birds. There are some places that have been listed already where you can kill plenty of birds and be an avg hunter.

                        I post this on every duck thread I see in hopes of finally meeting some TBH'ers on the water.... hasn't happened yet.


                        Man, the spot where I crappie fish (and catch limits every time) is the perfect spot for duck hunting too! Right where a little creek runs into the lake.

                          I have hunted public land around lake Whitney. There can be some good hints, but stopped hunting it because of the amount of people who aren't afraid to set up right on top of you. I have also hunted the coast a few times. I have never had much luck on the coast hunts.

                            I remember early 2000's, I hardly ever saw public land duck hunters, guess it wasn't a cool thing to do. Then the duck dynasty thing happened and it got stupid, funniest thing was how many of them had long beards like the reality show guys

                                Hunted the Opener of the second split in Matagorda this past weekend. About 45 minutes before shooting light a boat pulls up and says "you're gonna have to get out of our blind or scoot over" Them locals sure are touchy and protective about "their" blinds on public land. Oh, and we didn't get out of the blind.
