Teal report

[jlincecum]

ole man said we had a few thousand last week but he hardly saw any today

Good reports west of crowley

[Big pond]

Went to my lease in the burns little chenier area last Friday not one teal but it can change in a hurry

[cajunforeman]

I've called just about every one I knew today. The reports seem to be very spotty. My dads lease has held a enormous about of teal the last 3 years and not one bird was spotted today. This is probably my favorite time of year with football season just starting and the smell of gun powder in air. The tigers haven't disappointed us yet so let's hope the teal won't either.

I'm headin to Grand Chenier Thursday night, gonna hit the marsh real early Friday morning for a bit and see if any birds are around. Seen a good amount of spoonies and some greys a couple weeks ago, had just enough water to pole to my teal blind. This was also mid day/afternoon so hopefully we got some teal in the morning come Saturday..

Man that's crazy. Only bad reports except one I've heard came from here. Everyone I've talked to with exception of 2 or three have been ricefields but even the few marsh reports have been good. That's crazy. What time y'all making rounds?

This may ease people's minds. The only spot I've heard they didn't see any birds was intracoastal but we never see birds there when we work on blinds. But come opening day they thick.

This is my .02.... We are obviously alot drier than past few yrs. so marshes will have less water and farmers may not flood fields unless they absolutely have to bc it costs so much. With that said if teal have a harder time finding water with food nearby(marsh/crawfish ponds) it's a no brainer for them to Hang out where they kill two birds with one stone and have water and food in a ricefield. They just hanging out there. When ppl scare them out with 4wheelers and shot fire off. They gonna go to next field boom shot at again then they go to marsh and boom everybody happy but the teal....

I have been out to my field north of Kaplan... saw some a couple weeks ago and this past weekend saw just a few. Gotta head out there in the morning so I plan on getting out there before sunrise to see whats flying around in the morning... maybe they are moving then.

Went bushhog some levees this morning before work. Did not see a single one. I predict it being slow opening day. Sunday should be better once people get in the fields and make em move around.

Why do you bushhog your levees? We do not even walk on them so we do not mess up the grass on them.

Y'all must be one of those types that can't learn anymore bout duck hunting. If the shoe fits wear it. You ever seen ducks raise up over tree lines and tall brush and never seem to come back down? If you lazy of course it'll never work cuz you ain't never gonna try it. Why you brush a Blind? To give em an illusion that you aren't where you are? So that means illusions never work... Ok.
