That end of the season run is also one of my favorite too. A great time to get those wall hangers.

all look like green wings to me. How many blues do you usually shoot a year in late season?

and how many green do you shoot in early season

Where were you on RR?

I personally like trophy season...

Saw 5-6 nice groups buzz through our reservoir this afternoon while putting out some duck blinds!!

Seen some good groups at pines, probably 60-70 blue wings while dove hunting

I saw about 250 teal this mornin Wichita area.

Cant wait

Lots of teal showing up south of Abilene!!

Better share that info....

Some do and some don't. Some will only migrate when they have to when everything freezes over. Others migrate no matter what, these are the birds you kill the beginning of the season. There is a good number of mallards that migrate early season, other mallards will only migrate when they have to. Last year we had a good number of mallards that got here for the opener. After a while they got shot out, and we needed some cold weather to push some more down.

Saw about 100 up in Fannin county monday morning.

saw a lone boot lip over the weekend near Lampasas.

Saw six on my way to school this morning.

Seen a few hundred Monday morning while dove hunting. Big groups of em too, here just outside of Sherman.

Saw dozen or so on pond this morning.

Reports of 50 - 500 on our freshly flooded ponds in Wharton and Matagorda counties. I,ll be checking it out Sat..

How does someone get started teal hunting? This would be my first year and I want to get it right. I am in Houston if anyone wants to show me the ropes. I mostly hunt on public land.

Good luck!

Been seeing them up here and there for a month, with more and more lately. I'll start scaring them your guys way starting this Saturday from Illinois, hunting pressure will get them moving your way

Thanks!

Not near as many this year as opposed to last year. Of course, it helps to have some actual water.

Numbers building on the prairie by the day.

The best thing to do would be to make friends with people that (i) are on leases, (ii) have property with birds or (iii) have a skinny water boat and access to the coast South of about Freeport or Northeast of the ship channel. Alternatively, get some friends or people at work to join a lease with you (likely too late for that at this point).

Public land within easy driving range of Houston is going to be totally raked over, crowded and, probably, dangerous as s@$% with all the Duck Dynasty craze.
