Got my four (blue wings) this morning the hard way. Flooded rice out near Eagle Lake and the doggone fog didn't lift until at least 9:30. We could hear them over us but we couldn't see them. No wind and it got hot quick. Eight breasties going on the grill this evening!

9 Man limit on the KT prairie yesterday. Same flooded rice field this morning- 7 hunters, 11 teal.

Nope. Just on 1 teal while dove hunting. Only 2 blue wings on the whole 30 acre lake near Meridian. Last week, there were 30 to 40. Go figure. Got some dove though. Caught a bass retrieving one of my dove with a worm.

Now here's a fellow who knows how to prepare for anything. Shot a teal and some dove and caught a bass, which means he had a fishing pole with him. Gotta admire the planning there.

We should have shot our limit. They were just too close. We had full and modified choke and were shooting about 10-15 feet at teal. We got 3 blue wings. How do you tell the difference between male and female blue wings this time of the year? It was a blast. It was our first real teal hunt.

It may have not been the most successful hunt, but it was probably the neatest hunt I have ever done. We had a flock of teal fly 4 or 5 feet over our head at full speed just before shooting time.

We hunted Saturday out in Eagle Lake as well and had a hard time with the fog. Sandman were you hunting with Gore?

Yep...Saturday morning. My brother and I had our 4 each (5 blues/3 greens). Hunt lasted about 1 hour.

Yes, with Gore. COA/CSF Group.

So are we glad to see from that group on here.

Heck ya! we kick there booty over in Garwood this weekend. 4 man limit in no time at all. then we just kicked back and watched theM land in the deeks for a while. We had some big ducks land also. A couple of teal landed under the mojo and looked at it wondering when it was going to land.lol Going to let them relax a day or two then going back around wend. or thurs. to put the hammer down again

We didn't teal hunt this weekend but we did work on replacing 1/2 the floor in the blind and lake looks good water levels look good.

no teal birds for me. Was WAY TO BUSY runing my Lab at the BIG D HRC Test at the Cullen ranch. Had a blast!

Duck_jerky, did you shoot them here locally, if you dont mind what lake, I have not seen many locally.

Gee dude; you want him to give you GPS coordinates too. Do your homework like everyone else and scout for the birds.

It is pretty tough when you launch a boat and go to a spot earlier then most on public water then it is when you get out of a truck and unlock a gate and drive to a pond, lake, creek, etc..........

I doubt much info will be given out on the locations of many concentrations of ducks. You have to scout, you have to keep quiet about it, and you have to hope nobody beats you there the next time.

Best you will probably get will be suggestions on where to go look

To me...local is from border to border. It is not uncommon for me to put 15,000 miles on my truck from September - January.
There are birds here locally...just have to get out and find them. If you hunt public...the amount of time you spend scouting is directly proportional to the amount of success you will have

I have to tell you. I flew from Love Field to Houston Bush and then to Nashville today. Did not see single teal.

Quote from Bradbury:
My roommate from college guides for them. I have not heard how he did.

We did well, as I posted eairlier. Hunted with Larry, and his son Saturday morning. Was a thrill watching his 7 year old shoot his first teal.

My buddy called me and said they got zero on Saturday, somehow the levy broke and most of the water was gone when they got there....Sunday they had a better hunt.

I am hoping he will come dove hunting with me this weekend, down south, but he may be guiding again. He said a lot of groups did well, some did poor, but it seemed successful.
