Anyone have any recommendations for a good guide for choke canyon?

That place is gonna be a mad house this year. Curious to see how the lake in general does with water level

My buddy and I were lucky enough to draw a weekend hunt on the Carl Fentress unit in early January. I used to hunt the lake some time back but have never hunted the WMA. Looking at it on google earth the moist soil units look mostly the same with some just having a little more cover than others. If anyone has any insight I’d appreciate it on how compartments are assigned or flight patterns of the birds you’ve seen. I don’t think we are allowed to scout so we may be going in blind.

Did a thing to open up more options. Hope the investment pays off

You are right. I forget about that zone as I have never hunted it. Good luck. Kill a pile.

Got the blinds all brushed in. Now need the ducks to show up within the next few weeks.

Seen a couple groups of big ducks flying around fishing Sat morning. First I've seen this year. Got one Oklahoma trip lined up with little man already! He likes chasing ducks! More shots fired and you don't have to be quiet!

Regarding flying with a gun and ammo, I know the gun has to be in a locked case. Does ammo have to be in a locked case as well?

I've heard it depends on the airline if they allow gun and ammo in the same case or require it to be separated.

Any advice?

Well, the hull was split on this one... Took it out to run when I picked it up and noticed some water in it when I pulled the plug. Took it out a couple days later and my feet got wet while catfishing. Hit the bilge, packed my stuff and headed 5 miles back to the ramp. Trailered with 4 inches of water in the hull. Crawled under and found a crack. Called Wayside. They gave me approval to weld it and they'd cover cost. After it got welded on, we had a huge rainstorm. I lowered the trailer to make sure the weld sealed it properly. It did, but water was streaming down from the start of the bow and all along the keel.
Called Wayside back and they told me to take it back. Once they inspected it, they agreed that it was a bad buy. They had just received another 1860 with more accessories and we were able to trade out paperwork.
It sucks that the first boat was faulty, but I gotta give a shout out to Wayside for the way they handled the situation. They were very apologetic and the owner even made time to go to the store and personally apologize to me.

As for ducks, they are down south already. SPI was loaded with them and I saw more than a few flights down in Falcon this last week on my days off.

Good luck to all the youth going out this weekend
