I almost have my gear for Teal 2016 packed. finished off most of my gear list that i wanted to get. the only things i have left to pick up is: - ITS Tactical Tall Boy Trauma kit(ill add some additional medical gear in it too) - case of #4 shot - I would like to pick up a Garmin 410 GPS, for help to my hidey holes in the dark but maybe not.
What is left on your list to get?

Pretty much everything. My (neoprene) waders have holes. Sold my canoe. All I have is #3s. I'm gonna be throwing out hen pintail and wigeon dekes since I can't afford to get more decoys this year. Man, price of oil needs to go up...

Man, price of oil needs to go up... You don't need all that stuff for Teal season anyway. I usually use hip boots for teal season and sometimes no waders at all and just wear old dark tennis shoes or old lace up boots or wader boots and let my feet get wet. #3s will work or buy a cheap box of #7 steel that will be on the shelves now for dove season. Pick out some of your older worn decoys of any make and splash a little blue paint on the shoulders of some of them. My magnum teal decoys stand out from a distance and decoy better than those tiny teal decoys any day. Some of the decoys in this picture I have been using since the early 1980s. Or longer.

a teal hunt is a step up from a dove hunt, but no by a lot. I just shoot whatever I have left over from the year before, I have shot BBB through #6's....decoys are no big deal, just whatever you have will work.
Attention rickym, this is not a troll post, just a good hearted fun type of post

Dove Mojos pull em in pretty good also. We throw out a bunch of crappy deeks and a few mojos.
I still wear my waders but shorts and t-shirt underneath. Need to get some hip waders.
Hopefully we get at least one cool 50 degree morning during teal season but I don't think it's looking like it.

I really liked the old simple tags. Now that they are printed on the same paper as a hunting license it is just not the same. I'm just nastalgic I guess. Wish I had saved one of the old ones as a keepsake. If anyone has one like this they want to part with, let me know.

For those of you that live/hunt on the coast....TPWD is allowing 1 free alligator tag for those that buy the teal tags. This gator tag is only good for any of the 13 counties that touch the coast line here in tx. Apparently the gators are getting out of hand and they need numbers reduced.
just saying.

Haha. Jokes on me I guess. Googled and found it was a joke (but took a min since there are several posts on different sites that they are needed)

Yes it's a joke. It comes up here every season and gets beaten like a dead horse. Figured we might as well get it out of the way early.
