Weather: Cold. Duck Season: Hot.

Guide Sam G and partner Chris D put the smack down on the ducks on Friday morning, 12-18-2009. Ducks poured into their hunting hole all morning, and both partner and guide shot limits. Among the ducks seen were teal, mallards, wood ducks, and pintails. The pintail drake that was harvested was another first for LG2 ranch. Already more ducks have been taken than last year. So far, 8 wood ducks, 8 mallards, and one pintail totalling 17 ducks have been shot in just 3 hunts. This is 5 more than last year, and its just halfway through the season! The fact that there was a good hatch this year, there has been plenty of water, and it has been the coldest winter since the ranch was purchased all play a key role in why the season has been so good. More cold weather is expected, and over 14 inches of snow was recently reported at Texas LG2 ranch. Guide Sam G will be taking Mark G and other interested hunters to Lake Proffitt on the weekend following New Year's day. The guide is optimistic about the upcoming hunt.
