Wingshooting · Spatula discors
Blue-winged and green-winged teal over the playas in the early-September heat — fast, low, and a limit before breakfast.
Texas gets first crack at the ducks in September, when blue-winged teal pour down the Central Flyway ahead of the regular season. We hunt them over the playa lakes and shallow water they trust — decoys tight, guns ready, birds buzzing the spread in the low morning light.
It’s fast, close shooting in shirtsleeve weather, and one of the best early-season hunts going — an easy add-on before the crane and waterfowl seasons open.
Texas hunting license, migratory game bird endorsement, HIP certification, and the federal duck stamp.
Seasons, bag limits and license requirements are set by Texas Parks & Wildlife and change annually — confirm before you travel.
Combination
Combine any two species in one trip — crane at daylight, ducks at midday, hogs after supper.
Any two species can be combined in a single trip. Most repeat parties come for two days and shoot two or three species. Tell us what you want to shoot and we’ll build the trip around it.
