Teal Season on the way......
 

Our farmer is going to water buffalo our field tomorrow since it is set aside......Cannot wait for SEPT 11th.........plan on going to check it out to make sure it is what we want.....
Who else is getting ready for teal season??????

i end up going to work every year during teal season so i never get to go seems like the plants always schedule major turnarounds in sept. but i draw the line for big duck season

I sure hope you get it DD....I was looking at people's ponds on the way home from work this evening and some of them looked to be 3 to 4 feet low.

we need all we can get them post holes are hard to dig right now. im praying for rain too fellows

Uuuugghhhhh.....that ain't good..:(

NOOOOOO, no more rain :cry:

We're waiting on it to stop raining so we can build the dirt pad for our house! We planned on having the house started by now and we haven't even started moving dirt because of all the damn rain we been getting!!! :pissed:

X2!

One extreme to the next. Last year where I hunted in the marsh the water was SUPER high. Making a blast and cast in houma,cant wait.

Going to check out the blind this weekend. bringing lots of beer and wasp spray!!:eek:

A few guys on my lease told me that they had to pick up the motor every 50 yards to get the widgeon grass off the prop!:churn:

Our marsh is looking pretty low too. Thank god we have rice fields to hunt for teal. Been swimming the dog 2 to 3 times a week to get him ready. I'm so pumped!!! Come on sept 11th!!!

Hope you marsh guys get your rain, but not too much. ;)


In the rice fields we have something called a water well. :smokin:


Seriously, we do better on dry years in the rice fields for teal, but for big ducks the last few years the marsh is were it's at! We have been very slow!

My buddies marsh in cameron is pretty low right now too...

Going to cover the blind in Johnsons Bayou this weekend. Not sure where the water level will be, but expect it to be low. Taking 4-wheeler and hoping to get enough rain next couple of weeks to be able to run boat and hunt teal season.

got off my lease in little chenier this year, so im gonna be hunting public land.

sucks though,

im gonna be in nashville opening weekend of teal season for the vandy game

heard our place in johnson bayou is looking sweet, im planning on going to grass my blind labor day weekend and check out the bird situation

I just hooked up with a buddy with some rice fields in guedan right next to the bayou teche anybody hunt that area hear it should be good but have yet to see it

Teal Sightings......
 

When I left our lease in Kaplan on Tuesday evening, I actually saw 3-4 flocks of Blue Wings..........SEPT 11 is almost here....

I saw a flock of blue wings just outside kinder on my drive in today. A group of 10

Saw a small flock yesterday afternoon while driving north of Elton along Hwy 26. First ones I seen so far. Spent the week down in the marsh by Creole and haven't seen any yet. Man I'm ready to shoot AT them little rockets.

Heard these last few rains around PI dropped alot of water. Going ride this afternoon and check it out.

The ducks were everywhere flying parallel to the beach all day today

Went ride out to my lease in pecan island yesterday afternoon. Got the perfect amount of water. Saw about 200 teal. They were everywhere along with tree ducks. Mashed out a big hole with my 4wheeler. Right after I was done, a flock of about 30 teal buzzed right over me and circled the whole I mashed and almost lit in it 4 or 5 times. Time to cut em all jack!

This little front must have pushed them down cause I went out there last week and didn't see any.

I also saw a flock of about 20-25 flying over the rocks when i was fishing yesterday afternoon.

No way! Get the flock outa here!!! :D :)

Can't wait boys!! My Maxus needs to eat!!

No, you get the flock out of here!!!!!:p

good sign beings my lease is straight behing long beach behind the stingray plant, going out next weekend to grass my teal blind I'll let ya'll know. May even have an opening for a hunt depending on everyones schedule

I wouldn't mind taking a hunt

past few years havent been good teal seasons so hopefully what ya'll saw is bathing in my lease as we speak

Goin down to grass the blind Sunday. I'll let yall know what Johnsons Bayou looks like. As long as there is some water, I think the teal will be there

Got the blind grassed and ready for teal season yesterday. Dodged the rain showers but not the HEAT. Phone pics not so great.
First pic is the blind on the point.
Second pic is looking west down the pond-Structure in background is at Sabine Pass
Third pic is marsh grass FULL of seed.

Notice there is no pic of the Ducks. Saw maybe three teal. Maybe they'll move in area before season starts.

heard a lot of people seeing them on the beach, how early did you get out there?

Was there from about 7:15 - noon. Sure thought we would have seen alot more teal.

I saw a few hundred last week in PI. And my buddies said they saw a bunch this past weekend in the surf.

They are all in Rockafella Refuge!!!!!! Seen a few hundred flying around this morning while throwing the castnet for shrimp......everytime I looked up there was more birds in the sky.

but how was the shrimping? :smokin:

All I caught was a hard time!!!!!! I got a whole 2 shrimp.....I did catch a nice flounder when I stopped to fish though.

Nice. My least is just west of Rollover Landing north of the highway.

i'll be out there opening day

Of course you will...your native land is not far from there

Cold front coming, week before season...Shawn get yo lil self ready!!!

Camera- Check
Gun- Check
Shells- Check


Lets roolll

Went out to lease again yesterday afternoon. Only saw one flight of teal, lots of mottles and tree ducks.

Hearing good reports south of 82 at G/C with thousands of B/W.
None on our place right now but that can all change on opening
morning.
Spek, you hunt west of the Bull Pasture? Shot many birds on that
place 05 and 06 seasons.

Thats good news for me!! We will be in G/C tomorrow to get our lease ready. I hope to see plenty and give a good report.

I dont know where Bull Pasture is. I hunt about 1.5 miles west of Rollover Landing on the northside of Hwy 82 south of White Lake. Going out there again this afternoon to do a little more work then gonna stay at the camp in PI and possibly fish the surf in the morning. I saw a buttload of bluewings when i went last week right when that front was moving through. Hopefully this other front this weekend pushes some more.

i seen 2 wood ducks yesterday evening flying over. I aint ever seen them this early in the year.

U gotta be $hittin me Pookie, woodducks?? U B a damn Audobon enviromentalist!

They weren't teal son. Geaux train ur dogs

I don't think he was doubting that they were Wood Ducks....
