There were a lot of ducks flying near the blind on the property.  I set up, however on the opposite end in the timber.  Since the ducks all appeared to be divers, I left them alone and did not move.  I did not see what I was after, so I left empty handed. (I saw an 8 point while I was leaving the lease, and that was worth the price of admission.)  Somebody near by was doing a lot of shooting.  In the Tyler paper, there is an article on Hidden Lakes Hunting Resort in Yantis.  I have hunted Pheasants there, and they also have quail (all pen raised).  They are guiding on private lakes in Hopkins County near ours.  I am guessing they are the ones doing the shooting.  The article says they have been seeing lots of gadwall, widgeon, some pintail, and a few mallards.  The guide says it has been a good year for them so far and they expect better when the season reopens on Dec. 21st.  The article says they are hunting near a submerged wheat field.
