and marshes of the Gulf Coast offers some of the finest duck and goose hunting found anywhere in the world. 

Early Teal Season
Backwater Waterfowl offers teal hunts during the early September season.  Hunts take place on the Texas prairie in flooded rice fields and shallow water impoundments.

Duck Hunting
September through January numerous species of ducks pour onto the prairies of the Coastal Bend.  Guided duck hunts are conducted from above ground, sunken pit blinds, or layout blinds in flooded rice, plowed, fallow fields and saltwater marsh.

Our duck hunts take place in a variety of habitat, from flooded rice fields to saltwater marsh.  All property is scouted daily to ensure you the best possible outing.  Transportation is via airboat or six-wheeler depending on the hunt location.  Your guided hunt will be with an experienced professional guide as well with an experienced professionally trained retriever.

You will come to enjoy the quality, safety, comfort and professionalism of Backwater Waterfowl while enjoying a great hunting experience.

Goose Hunting
We hunt geese over a large spread of decoys in a variety of habitats. The spread consists of silo-sock windsocks and fliers.  We will either hunt in white parkas or comfortable Avery layout blinds depending on conditions and location. It is common to harvest Snow, Blues, Ross, White-Fronted and Canadian all in the course of one hunt. A wide variety of ducks also offer our hunters opportunities while hunting in the large goose spreads. Goose hunts begin with the placement of the spread which requires the help of you and your party. All fields are scouted the day before to ensure the best location. After placing the spread, your guide will position the shooters in the best location to intercept the incoming birds.
