2021 Hunting Trips Reports

1/16/21 Guided Inland Duck Hunt
Four hunters had a great time near Speaks with Rayce Jenkins and his helper, Blaine. They hunted next to a flooded field.
The group killed 17 ducks – nine spoonbills, four bluebills (lesser scaups), three green wing teal, and a ringneck. Randy Rowley killed two teal with one shot and then swung to the right and bagged the third one. Blake Lieb killed a spoonbill. There was considerable friendly disagreement on who killed the rest. Rayce said that our group killed the most ducks so far during the second half of the season.
The group also saw several pintails, snow geese, and sandhill cranes. One group of snow geese flew directly overhead but they were too high to shoot at.
1/9/21 Guided Inland Goose and Duck Hunt
Three hunters mostly enjoyed watching a lot of far-away geese, sandhill cranes, and ducks with the Blue Roan Outfitters near Eagle Lake on their 280-acre lake. They set up on the levy of a rice field. It was sunny, about 37 degrees, and there were light winds. Very few birds came close. Most were flying high and away. The group killed four birds – one blue goose, two spoonbill ducks, and a pintail hen.
1/1/21 Self-guided Inland Duck Hunt
Four participants mostly enjoyed the scenery on Lake Granger in the San Gabriel Wildlife Management Area. They saw around four flocks of ducks but they were at least 200 yards away.
