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!
