We got there early to the spot to claim it, only to be passed up by people that rolled up 10 minutes before shooting time, and after the living hell was over, the game warden was there to check us. Can't wait for the teal opener though!

Reminds me of a teal hunt I had last year. I like dummy, I PULLED my 65lb kayak about 500 yrds through a pasture loaded down with all my gear. Think I went through an entire can of OFF. Worst 20-25 minutes ever. When I put the kayak in the water, it was already shooting time so I stopped early to hunt some grass. Takes me 10 minutes to untangle the decoy strings, finally done with that, I'm pushing the kayak to the roseaus and not 5 feet from me a 7 foot gator takes off and literally scares me stiff!!! Took me a couple minutes to move after he popped up about 300 ft away in the pond. Couldn't get my mind right after that and only hit one teal, lol.
