Was going to sit in the deer stand tonight but got back from town alil later than I was expecting. Haven't had any luck teal hunting this season but than again I hadn't been but a few times as I haven't found any teal around although I've been hearing of a few around but wrote them off as more than likely being woodies as the guys that say they've seen em aren't duck hunters and that's all I've seen on the few hunts I've been on and the scouting I've done. Been keeping an eye on a mud hole slough off the lake that usually holds some birds if there's any around but hadn't seen any on it till this evening when I pulled up to the water. Busted 7 off the water at 6pm so decided to give it ago and see if they'd come back. Get set up and wait it out. double check the sunset time and the book says 7:15pm, couldn't get the weather app to load, bad reception for the net. At 7pm I look towards the lake end of the slough and see teal swimming towards me about 150 yds away taking their sweet time. at 7:10 they make it to about 60 yds and hang up just teasing me. at 7:14 I shouldered the gun, stand up, they jump, I shoot, and dump 2 on the first shot. They don't fly towards me as I had hoped, but not away either, but more of angle back towards the lake, and I was able to squeeze of another shot and drop another. Looked at the time, 7:15. Get back to the truck and find out I had another 4 min's to spare according the weather app for Forsyth .

Well done John P.

I got out yesterday morning. Went to the duck park. Lots of birds flying too early, then a lull. After the lull the killing began. Shot five in six shots. Another lull and I picked up decoys. Paddling out it happened again. A feeding spree started. Why can't I sit still? There were groups of a hundred or more. I was the only one there too. I may go back Friday morning and then again I may not. With the temps. going up again you would need a gallon of bug spray. Maybe a thermacell?

Great pics as usual John and you got some dinner which is always good, I stayed home yesterday and caught up on Honey Do's and cleaned the boat up. I thought about going out again today but im going to hold off till weather stabilizes a bit so the fish turn on and I can get a good cast n blast in I really want some teal and crappie

[JohnP]

Well done yourself BilletHead. I cant sit still either, especially for teal hunting. Past experiences is that it's a quick hunt early usually within the first 1/2 hour of either side of shooting time and then nothing down here. Seems like during teal season when the weathers nice out for mesquitos they get to where their going and just stay there for the day unless their busted up and forced to move on until about 1/2 hour either of sunset.
