Saturday’s season finale waterfowl average dropped just slightly over last Wednesday’s average. Green Wing Teal finished out the season as the number one bird taken Saturday with Shovelers taking a distant second place. Tom Trakes, from San Jacinto Wildlife Area, reported that the waterfowl take for Saturday, 1/25/14, was as follows:
147 adult and 11 junior hunters checked in with 48 Northern Shovelers, 1 Mallard, 33 Gadwall, 3 Widgeon, 40 Pintail, 140 Green Wing Teal, 5 Cinnamon Teal, 1 Redhead, 3 Bufflehead and 31 Ruddy Ducks. Again there were no geese taken at San Jacinto on Saturday. 8 coots were also bagged on Saturday. This worked out to an average of 1.98 waterfowl per hunter. Tom advised that out of 52 reservations issued 29 showed up on time.
So that’s it for the regular waterfowl season for 2012 / 2013. If you are a junior hunter, or you have a junior hunter in the family, there’s one more chance for them to waterfowl hunt this season at San Jacinto’s Annual Junior Waterfowl hunt.
