Where South Central and Texoma is
South Central and Texoma is drawn from 9 counties in Oklahoma: Carter, Coal, Garvin, Jefferson, Johnston, Love, Marshall, Murray and Stephens. Those are the counties its shape on the DuckCast map is built from, so a hunter in any of them reads this region’s score.
When South Central and Texoma peaks
DuckCast’s season model puts the mallard peak here around late November. This follows the statewide mallard curve. That is a modelled typical curve, not a prediction for any single year. The actual push depends on cold fronts and freeze-up upstream, which is what the daily score tracks. Always confirm season dates with the state wildlife agency, linked below.
What DuckCast watches upstream of South Central and Texoma
3 upstream stations feed this region's freeze line, nearest first: Wichita, KS, about 240 miles north, Pratt, KS, about 250 miles north and Emporia, KS, about 295 miles north. When those stations ice over, the score here starts climbing before anything changes in the local sky.
Radar over South Central and Texoma
Each morning DuckCast reads the night’s NEXRAD data from KTLX, the National Weather Service radar at Oklahoma City, about 80 miles north of the region’s weather point. That is well outside the region, so treat the radar reading as area context rather than a measurement of this ground. Radar sees every bird in the air, not only ducks, so it confirms or questions the score rather than moving it.
Locations stay generalized
Hunter reports for South Central and Texoma are always shown at the region level. DuckCast never collects or displays exact coordinates, so filing a report here never burns a spot.
