Another member said this might be the best place to post this. If it's not mods please move it.

I know I'm new around here but I thought I'd throw this out here. If it's well accepted I'll definitely try and repeat. I'd like to get to know some BOTL.

I'm a member of Pintail Farms duck hunting club in Telephone, Tx (90 mins NE of DFW), 1 mile south of the Red River. (www.pintailfarms.com)

It's a great place. 12 members, each allowed 3 guests. 7000 sq ft lodge, pool table, all meals included, 1000 acres to hunt on, etc. It's the real deal.

I would like to know if 3 BOTL members (old or new, doesn't matter) would like to join me for the weekend of November 14 to duck hunt. It's early enough in the year that we can hopefully not freeze our asses off smoking outside.

The details:
-any member of BOTL is welcome
-I will be down there Thursday evening-Sunday mid day. So hunt fri, sat, sun.
-everything is included as part of my membership. The hunting fee, lodging, food, etc. The only expenses are your ammo and it's BYOB and BYOC.
-you will need a TX hunting license with a Federal duck stamp
-due to space limitations, I need members that can come at least from fri night-sun.Thursday night-sun is even better.
-unfortunately I do not have guns or waders to loan out. So if you need them you'll need to borrow them from a friend
-I'd really like it if 1 BOTL has a dog that's trained to duck hunt. (My dog is and will be coming). That being said, I'd like to speak with you about it before it's 100% your dog can come. Please say 'I'm in' in this thread then text me about your dog.
-If you have general questions that other members may have, please ask them in this thread so I can answer them for everyone
-if you need to check with wife, work, etc you can say 'I'm in' and then update your status to a for-sure within 48 hours
-I'd like at least 1 member to be an experienced duck hunter. The other 2 can be brand new (just as long as you are familiar with a shotgun). If you're experienced just please note that by your 'I'm in'

And finally...
-the first 3 members to say 'I'm in' IN THIS THREAD get the spots

My cell is 972-822-6879. Please text with any questions. It's probably easier than answering a million PMs on my phone. Text any time day or night. If I'm not awake I turn my phone off.

Thanks guys!

Nice going Parker. Excellent opportunity to herf with other BOTL brothers. If I was not already hinting on Idaho 4 times during the winter, I'd been down to do this,

Just talked to mama. Not gunna happen. Lol. She reminded me I might be going on an Elk Hunt too, which I'd rather do any day. I'll keep on working on her, but it's hard since I retired a year ago. Lol.

Sounds like an excellent opportunity! Unfortunately I'm getting hitched in February so budget is tight at the moment. Hopefully this will be a success and can make it happen again year after year.

This looks awesome. I don't have much experience hunting but would consider it being its not too far from DFW. Let me Czech with the wifey. Maybe one of those days we could have a get together with all the N Texas folks. We could all car pool? Just a thought.

Hey Parker, I'm going to say that I'm in pending a conversation with the Mrs. I'd fly into DFW on Thursday and hitch a ride if that's ok with you. I'll pitch in for gas and other expenses. I'll check with the Mrs. and get back to you asap. Thanks for the opportunity!

*Edit - the Mrs. said "go ahead!" So, I'm good to go and I'm in!!

This is awesome, I really wish I could join in. Haven't been duck hunting yet but I was supposed to go last year. Maybe I'll get around to it next year. You guys have a good time!

I'm in, pending confirmation from the boss. This sounds like a great time. I would likely drive in on Thursday night and leave Sunday by lunch.
I don't have a dog, but I have experience goose, crane and duck hunting on the coastal prairie.

I'll text you shortly.

It would be great if @Brazos Hunter could join, Michael - do you hunt birds at all, or just deer?

I PMed @tradercigarco but haven't heard anything.

I was down at Pintail for dove and early teal this weekend. Ill post up a couple pics later. Dove hunting was pretty good. But he teal that were down there Friday got pushed out by a front that moved in during the night. So the opener Saturday and Sunday were pretty slow across N Texas.
