Early Teal Season 2016-2017 (my pictures from the season)... - 10/22/16 09:14 PM
9-10-16
Morning did not start off as planned. It was supposed to be somewhat cloudy with light winds and a slight chance of rain way later in the morning. Well, we got complete cloud cover with high winds and rain pretty early into the hunt. Twelve minutes into the hunt a big flock buzzed behind us and went off to the right. About ten minutes later three teal come over the tank dam and into the decoys. All three got shot but one manages to fly way off into a neighboring property before crashing. A couple of minutes later another flock passes by high. Front line moves in and the winds pick up and it starts to sprinkle. Ten minutes later a goose starts to come over the tank dam but turned back never to be seen again. Another flock of teal flies by in the distance a couple of minutes later. After sometime of no action I decided to shoot a dove that flew behind us. Not long after that decided to pick up as the off and on sprinkle turned into a hard rain.
