The Central Flyway's last stop

The Texas coast is where the Central Flyway ends. Snow geese, specklebellies, pintail, teal, and gadwall winter across the rice prairie and bay marsh from Eagle Lake down through Matagorda, Brazoria, and Wharton — country that has been leased for waterfowl for generations.

Rice agriculture is what built it. Flooded fields after harvest give the birds food and shallow water in the same place, and the leases that hunt best are almost always tied to working rice ground rather than idle land.

Leasing coastal water

Coastal duck leases are typically sold per gun for the season or per blind, and they move in late summer — months before the November opener. By the time the season splits, the good water has been committed since August.

Ask about the pump. On the prairie, whether a landowner can put water on the ground in a dry October is the single biggest factor in how the season hunts, and it separates two otherwise identical fields.
