Luck Varies for Texas duck hunters

The first half of the 1949-1950 duck season opened with Texas hunters finding mixed results along the coast in Corpus Christi Houston and Beaumont while central Texas around Waco reported scarce birds. Howard Dadgen of the state game fish and oyster commission projected about 76000 Texas hunters would seek their luck this weekend. Many boats fanned out at Pt Aransas with some limits reached in under an hour. Goose flights were noted but duck hunting lagged in places like Rockport and the San Antonio region. The Houston Post described the opening as the best in 20 years with guides helping hunters reach limits quickly. Several groups reported rapid limits at Galveston Island and Aransas Pass, while Mitchell Lake near San Antonio yielded many limits as well. The daily possession limits were four ducks five geese and 10 costs, with upper limits varying by location. The news also lists many local figures enjoying successful shoots.
