Duck Hunting in Seadrift

Report Date: January 4, 2016

Duck hunting in South Texas is on fire! The Wide Open Outdoor Adventures crew loaded up and headed to Seadrift, the cozy little town near Rockport, Texas. 

We had light drizzle, cold weather – – just what the ducks like. The only challenge is that it's hard to film with high-definition TV video cameras in the rain. My new camera-man Fred Kirby and I know that very well. It seems like in every hunt we've done over the last four months, we've had to deal with "Mother Nature." That's part of the challenge of making outdoor programming -- we have to have high definition electronics in salt water and in freshwater environments. We got it done though! 

The ducks were flying over in big numbers, and almost all were redheads. It was awesome. Shane Horton and his dogs, Bullet and Jack, were on fire. 

The airboats were revved up, and we had a camera airboat provided by Greg Johnston of Tilden to help us fly the drone and get the aerial photographs and video. It doesn't get hotter than the smokin' gun blazing action on this future episode of Wide Open Outdoor Adventures.

If you want some help shooting birds with a shotgun, contact my friend Foard Houston of Sandy Oaks Ranch at 210-394-4857. He can help you with the basics and also move you to the advanced level. Knowledge is power in the Wide Open Outdoors! -- Dave

***Special note***

We're identifying our television networks now for the 2016 season. We're looking hard at Fox Sports Southwest and the CW 35 Networks. This will be one of the best TV seasons ever. We already have 9 shows created, more are being made every week. We got a deer hunt scheduled again for McMullen county with the bow in the next few days. Buckle your seatbelt because the 2016 season will be hot and heavy! I'll see you on TV soon!
