Went down to sweetlake this morning and my God, they teal were thicker than Mosquitos. Literally thousands of birds in the rice mixed teal and just as many squealers. I've had reports from the thornwell area of the same. Here is a pic of my buddy's field in thornwell.

I didn't get a pic in sweetlake but imagine that wad in the pic as far as the eye could see!

Spent the day at a buddys house yesterday and he showed me some video he took of his place in sweetlake and it was ridiculous the amount of birds they had on their farm. They were at the blind working and the birds were coming into the pond constantly.

Just passed by our rice field and saw about 50 or so, but 2nd crop is tall so could be more....

The best thing about teal season is even if your spot isn't holding any birds right now, more than likely you will still shoot your limit opening morning! They tend to come out of the woodwork.

From my experience marsh hunting gets better later in the teal season. But last year it was good all year in some places. Rice fields tend to get shot out quick.

I hunt in a field near Sweetlake and my teal hunting got progressively better towards the end of the season. The last weekend was the best for me by far. I'm curious to see if the same trend continues or if that was just an anomoly.

the fields dont get shot out, you just have to adjust your hunting times. I promise they still go there it just may not be at first light

The fields I have hunted you could sit from daylight til dark and not fire a shot after the first week. Guess it just depends how close your field is to marsh

I know last year at our marsh we were full of widgeon grass and you couldn't chase them suckers out of there. After we would kill limits they would still be coming in flock after flock. Our marsh looks even better than it did last year so it should be a teal wacking out there. I can't wait!!!!!!!
