Hello Everyone,

New to the forum, so wanted to say hello. Do most of my hunting on leases by Van Alstyne and out in E. Texas. I live about 5 minutes from Lavon, but never hunted there, or met many that have (lived in the area for 10 years). Just wondering if it is worth the effort.

Hello back, glad you here never hunted lavon I spend all my time on private sloughs and lake fork.

 

[stevezilla]

i also just started hunting lavon last year, over by 380 on corps engr. land. we had moderate success there.
may try other spots on lavon to see if it is any better.

i think lewisville has some spots that have corps engr land may try this year.

Hey txtimberhunter, where abouts to you live from Lavon, I am over off 380 just before Princeton. Never hunted out there either and have been thinking about it though.

 

[beatbucs]

I have heard that if you go 380 and take a left just near the Navo creek area there is an access point for the north enf of the lake and the creek. I spoke with someone who claims there is some decent hunting in the creek area. He boats in with a one man flat bottom.

Hey guys how are yall. Now tell if the hunting is good up there or not.
:getdown:

 

[Jager2]

Hey, Ya'll, I'm also new here and live in Wylie. I've hunted Lavon a bunch with very little luck. For every duck there are literally 5 hunters on the lake since all the developements.

any way we should all get togethter and do some scouting soon. only 4 months left.

Lavon is not a bad place to hunt. Like any other place you hunt there are good days and bad. Just do not expect to limit out there I never have.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? not bad? dood you should see all the pics of full straps of mallets from MadMallard! Lavon pulls birds like crazy!

uuhhhh,,,, you can't be serious... that is what he wants you to believe, he hunts other places and Lavon is NOT one of them.

Do you really think "Mad Mallard" would share his hunting spots online? :laughing:

 

[wildphilhickup]

Howdy!
I live in LUCAS, next door to LAVON. Bean here for 10 years.
Hunted LAVON many of them. NEVER seen a full strap come off that lake.
GO NORTH or EAST!

GOOD LUCK!

Guys I've been hunting Lavon for over twenty years as it is ten minutes from the house.Up until ten years ago it could be awesome,but with the hammering it gets now mediocre is a stretch.Being very close to a major metro area and having very little water in the areas open to hunting it gets very crowded.Yes you can kill a few ducks there but limits of greenheads on a regular basis,ain't gonna happen.My partner and I hunt private water north of the T bridge on 380 now and hear very little shooting from the lake on most mornings.

And for those of you that don't know,you have to get a permit from the Corp of Engineers office to hunt on Lewisville.

 

[Jager2]

Yes,,,, I highly recommend Lavon.... :getdown: specially on the opening morning and the second day,,,,, actually the whole season for that matter... :tounge:

Go to Lavon and hunt the waves and waves of Greenheads there, don't bother to scout or go elsewhere... Lavon is the place to go :thumbsup:

Hope you guys don't mind a little company now that it's back to the top. :thumbsup:

lavon is not a bad lake to hunt, i will admit that yes it is very crowded but if you can find secluded holes you can normally shoot a bunch of ducks. had no problem pulling a limit this opener but the crown of ppl was crazy. shot lots of teal, few mallards, a few gadwall, and a few pintails last year. just gotta be willing to walk through some mucky stuff to get to the good spots. howd yall do this opener and what kind of ducks were shot?

 

[LuckyDucker]

Cool, this one's back to the top for this year's internet scouters. :goodjob:

 

[foldem']

do what? have you hunted any public land this year? if so howd you do and where? ive heard some good people say texoma was good opening weekend.

 

[LuckyDucker]

Yup, hunted public this weekend. Killed all greenheads. :thumbsup:

Lavon is the closest lake to me, but I don't hunt there because of the crowds.

Posts like these help add to the crowd. :rofl:
