Guys I'm not asking for locations, but has any teal been spotted in North Texas? Unfortunately I've been working a ton and haven't been able to look myself.

Scouted hard yesterday afternoon, and ran into a couple other boats out scouting spots that I thought were somewhat secret... not worried though, didn't really see enough birds to give away the spots. As I always say scout or pout... may end up scouting, and pouting Saturday am if this front doesn't blow in some birds.

Migration Alert: Upcoming weather may prompt teal migration
Sept. 5, 2012

By Dale Humburg, DU Chief Scientist

Relatively minor weather events are enough to prompt blue-winged teal migrations any time after about mid-August. And this has been the case so far in 2012, with an initial minor push of birds around 16-17 August and again by the first weekend of September.

The weather is lining up again to trigger another teal migration in time for a number of states that have an 8 September opening date for their special teal season. Weather predicted for Saskatoon, SK includes lows in the 40s and WNW to NW winds through Thursday.

The same weather system extends into the Dakotas by Friday and the Midwest by Saturday. Some local rains are also forecast. After a severe drought during the summer, rains have been sufficient to fill the cracks in some instances and locally, have improved water for migrant teal.

It's likely to be a fleeting migration event, however, as teal habitat is generally not plentiful, and birds will continue their southern migration after showing up for a day or so. Although spotty, natural food conditions (millet, smartweed, etc.) are at least fair in some regions. It will take a few rain events, however, to ensure availability into the fall.

Why the (censored) do they not show up after august 10 on that full moon????? Cause the weather has not sent them south!
Gee Wolly what do you think dad will say about my teal knowledge this year??? Same thing he told you last year Beav!!! " shut the Hell up"

Yeah but I have a teal mojo !!!!!!! I don't need them to visit long !!!!

Teal dont have any reasons to stop in north texas just like snows. They go to the coast

I take it you haven't been hunting waterfowl long in N. Texas.

Not tryin to be rude, but that comment is absolutely ridiculous.

Blue wing migrate on moon phases- not weather.

If u are fortunate to have a lake or good size slough near a major NT lake- it will be spotty at best.

Typically heats up after 21st- opening is spotty.

If 2 dudes limit out due to knocking down 4-6 birds on 2-3 flocks- different story.

Don't expect big numbers- I have millet growing out my ears on several properties- sure there will be a few

Keep everyone posted

Here you go BEAVER! I don't wanna throw lake names out there! So just take a guess ! Opening day early teal season north texas 2013!!!!

So how long does it take a BWT to reach the coast?

Full moon was September 8th. If the birds high tailed it south on the 8th would most have already made it to the coast?
