Teal Sightings

[slahay3]

Anyone seeing any teal yet? I hear there are some starting to show up around Evangeline Parish.

My buddy said they can't fit another teal in their ponds in Pecan Island.

Saw one flock with about 10 in it this morning,northern Evangeline parish.

Just consider Evangeline Parish ready for teal season. Just like always, where there's water, there's birds.

[Oops!]

I saw a few last week at our camp south of Kaplan.

But do you have enough food n water to keep them there for a month n change. Personally I'd rather see them a week before so that u know they gonna be there cuz dey DEFINATELY not gonna eat the whole 100ac n a week. That's the best scenario and it happened last yr.... No teal in gc as of last of this weekend

Have never been short of food or water in the past. No reason for that to change this year, not to mention the 250 acres of rice that is about to be cut.

Same here, it works out really good because alot of the fields around us are still drained down for harvesting. Besides the fields that are already flooded back for second crop. We have some of the only water around.

It seems that area North of 1-10 has done very well for teal the past several years. However, duck season is completely different.

I hunt South of Kaplan and the past 3-4 years out teal has been great for one week and slows down a lot the next. My duck season has been good.

Glad to hear reports that some are already down!

Where in PI? I'm down close to Rockefeller. Anyone seeing anything in that area? We usually do OK for teal, not like rice field hunting for sure. We make it up during the duck season. I'm hoping we can get some food lagniappe teal hunting this year.

My buddy has family land near the harbor. Saw a handful of mottled ducks but no teal. We were there mid day checking on millet.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1375890097.771866.jpg

No, but not far at all from Christian though. Some of the property is down Dennis road, and the rest is on the other side of 35.

Used to have a blind in that area for one season about 9 years ago from Neal "Crook" Landry. I think we killed 5 teal all season. It was a joke. There were some productive blinds he showed me. Then he sticks me in a blind I haven't seen anyone hunt since I leased from him, instead of just being a decent guy and telling me he leased all his good ones. He figured he would just take our money. We were young and dumb. You can see it from 35. I drive by it on my way to PI.

Luckily I had a place along the MS river I was hammering ducks that year so I didn't go for a few weeks. Show up to hunt one morning and my pond is full of crawfish traps. He said, "Man I figured you just quit hunting."

He has all the property surrounding us. The guys he leases to behind us look like they dove hunting the way they line people up on the levee during teal season.
