What's your budget? Reputable green timber hunts are pretty steep.

No expectations at this point. I know what reputable Texas lodges/guides charge. If green timber hunts are more costly, I happy to pay the going rate. May have the leverage of a sizable group for a multi-day trip (we're all hunting retriever guys). Do you have some recommendations?

$1250 a gun/ day.

I hunt Stuttgart. Use 2W Outfitters. They're $650 per day all-in…lodging, meals, etc…. They hunt timbers and ponds. I usually request timbers 2 out of 3 mornings. Speck hunts in the afternoons. Request Brad Gordy as your guide. Great guy and AG.

$1250/gun/day and they're 100% booked for the season and have a wait list for next season.

Yeah, ist pretty crazy but like a lot of hunting, the demand outweighs the supply. Supposedly they have enough timber that they can hunt in the woods every day without having to hunt the same spot two days in a row. I have some buddies that used to go every year. They always enjoyed it but didnt always shoot limits. They were paying $850 a day and stopped when the price went up from there.

Fact is there just isnt that many green timber flats left that are private. It's all been converted to cropland or it's state or federally owned. Most places selling you green timber hunts are actually putting people in cypress oxbows and other holes along the edge of cropland. Or the most common one is you ask for and book a timber hunt and show up to be told "the ducks havent been in the woods, they're using the fields".

Bryan Glass with Redleg Outfitters in Paris
Hunter Powell with B&H Outfitters in Sulpher Springs - They hunt private land but have some good timber, mostly gadwall, wood ducks, with mallards mixed in.

I hunted here multiple times. The last time was about seven or eight years ago. It was owned by a couple from Trinity. Tim lost a battle with cancer and none of us went back after that. Tim and his wife developed AEI north east of Taylor Park in Colorado. AEI is a summer camp focused on church kids. They have the opportunity to do just about anything....hike....climb a 14K....fly fish.....target shoot....rock climb in the summer etc.

I have elk hunted up there since the mid 80's when I could get a tag. I haven't drawn one in the last four years. AEI and my friend own nearly all of the 2,200ish acres of private land. The road is private and they are surrounded by something like 350,000 acres of federal land.

Redleg kills A LOT of birds and has some really good land.

As for Slick's…it's the second best outfitter in Stuttgart area. It's definitley country club hunting, but they have some of the best guides and kill more ducks consistently than anybody around EXCEPT Lost Island. But don't even consider looking into Lost Island. That waiting list is easily over 10 years long. All repeat business and world class operation.

For what it's worth, it's been a bad year for the majority. No cold weather = no ducks down south. Here's to hoping it turns around for the last month…
