  Each individual can purchase only one ticket. ALL participants MUST be Stewards of the Wild Members. Membership status will be verified and you will be contacted if you do not have a valid, current membership prior to the hunt.

  Here's what's included:

  • Duck hunting Monday and Tuesday morning;
  • Lodging Sunday and Monday night (double occupancy--you will be assigned a roommate. We will do our best to place members from the same city together); and
  • Meals Sunday night, Monday, and Tuesday morning 
  • Drinks throughout the trip

  Please plan to bring all the normal supplies necessary for a waterfowl hunt, except for chairs and decoys. Please check the weather ahead of time to ensure you have the correct gear. This includes:

  • Waders, waterproof boots, camouflage clothing, gloves, etc.;
  • Your own shotgun;
  • Eye and ear protection;
  • Non-toxic, waterfowl ammunition;
  • Texas Hunting License (including proof of Hunter Education Certification) with:

  Itinerary:
  Sunday, January 11, 2025: Meet in Garwood at the Bucksnag lodge (Bucksnag Hunting Club, 507 Arthur Street, Garwood, Texas 77442) between 5 and 7 p.m. Do NOT arrive earlier than 5 p.m. Snacks and beer will be served at 6 p.m., followed by dinner at 7 p.m. There are some card tables for those interested.

  Monday, January 12, 2025: Split up into smaller groups for morning hunts. Depending on the scouting reports by the club, we may shoot ducks or geese. We are 95% likely to only hunt ducks…. the goose availability depends on scouting reports and favorable weather. After hunting, we will have a meal at the club and the rest of the day is open to hang out and relax. We’ll conclude the day with dinner at the club.

  Tuesday, January 13, 2025: Morning hunt, followed by a meal at the club before departing.

  New this year:

  During down time on Monday, attendees are free to fish a 60-acre lake just 10 minutes from Bucksnag Hunting Club that the club has leased. This lake is home to largemouth bass, catfish, and crappie!
