That wasn’t the case for us last year. Hunting red rock outfitters. We’ll see how this year goes, but their prices definitely aren’t starting to fall off… quite the opposite.

I’ve only ever hunted ducks with them.

Fried potatoes from the refuge forum will put you on em. Okie’s greatest duck killer.

For those who make the trip to Oklahoma to hunt ducks, is the hunting still good? An acquaintance told me it was starting to fall off.

Its still much better than Louisiana! But even the guides at Red Rock have told me its falling off some from their standards.

I've only ever been w Red Rock a few times. They generally let you pick if you want ducks or geese. Lots of honkers mixed in w specs though.

Oklahoma is not the place you want to go if you’re interested in specks.

But for ducks and little geese sbar, coastal wings, then there’s the big boys like salt plains, bluestem, red rock.

Oklahoma is not what it used to be, it’s still very productive, but it’s far from what it was 5 or so years ago.

We went to Fowlco last year and it was excellent.

I hunt with Goose Reapers in SW Oklahoma every year late December or early Jan. Can't recommend them enough. Although we typically prefer to duck hunt, on the tougher years, we will settle for a lesser shoot. As others have said, the past two years have been pretty warm, but they still managed to put us on them both years. Also, if specks are what you are truly looking for, do yourself a favor and just get an early season speck hunt in Arkansas with Fowlco Arkansas. You will need to book this one pretty far in advance because they stay pretty booked up for the early season.
