amarillo is awesome for hunting. Some of the best goose hunting in texas is around there and even north of there. Layout blind or laydown chair and as many decoys as you choose. Just follow em to a field and gain permission. Im not for sure about public hunting, there are a few here and there, but nothing like other states that I have hunted.

i dont know anything about hunting on your own up there but i was up there in mid november on a guided goose hunt and man i have never seen so many ducks and geese. the amarillo area is loadeddddd from what i saw.

thanks how tough is it to get permission to hunt? o and what about ducks?

Some fields are hit and miss. Just depends on the people. I have some days where it take 10 minutes to find a field and others that there is no way in hell im going to get permission. Its basically just luck of the draw. Find water, and typically there are ducks. If you can find them feeding in a field when it gets cold, your golden.

There is a place just south of Amarillo called Buffalo Lake Reservoir that would be amazing for hunting. Not sure the restrictions on it just yet. I heard about it late last week and put the email and phone calls in to the head dude. If there is a chance to get on, I will let you know.

isnt bufflo lake a refuge? i dont think there is hunting there is there? it sounds like it would be a good place to hold some birds tho

I don't remember. I did some research on it before the season started and thought the website had special sections quartered off for hunting. I think I have a map at the house showing the hunting areas. It might not be for ducks though. Not sure.
