Teal Sightings

Was out at our lease in the Eagle Lake area, lots of rice as prices are up this year, saw first flock of 30 get up....my Lab was super excited!

My lease is down the road in Rock Island

Took this pic this morning on Raybob, NW arm, its gonna be hot for the opener...



Just picked up my teal tags from Walmart!!!

You "took" that photo from somewhere. Maybe a
website.

Oh man, u guys too smart.

Mark Johnson would not much appreciate your plagiarizing his good work.

SITE

Oh brother. In my post is a link to his web site, no brains and no sense of humor.

Like you would find teal in Texas full plumage in august.

Yeah, I saw it. And I was expressing my opinion just like you did yours. Furthermore, I wasn't responding to you. No brains and no sense of humor? I think you have no manners and no sense of decency.

Man o Man. Duck hunters sure a re a touchy bunch. Guy they do have teal tags on special at Walmart in Denton though. Did you miss the sale?

Yeah, you remember I told you about it last year, they always gottem on sale there, and real close to the raybob blue winged teal north west arm honey hole! BTW, I'm trying to cut back on my teal tag posts to one a season, I'm already over my limit!

What's this, year 3 or 4? I still have teal tags leftover from last year. I'll sell some if anyones interested.

Can't get anything passed these guys...Guy

Lol

I mean obviously these teal in the photo just never left Texas so they stayed in full plumage. Geez

I know, back in the good ol days I could make this a 10 pager, but guys like Lalo and Duke, they so smart figure me all out. Times are tough.

teal tags on sale walmart super centers!

FWIW, I believe you. Those are teal.

I remember the 1st time I ever fished raybob in the late winter. I meandered up an old Creek bed through standing timber. Got into some big flats and the ducks were freeking everywhere. Huge wads of mallards pintails and greenwings. I thought I need to hunt on this lake. Looked at a map... Sure enough they were not in that area by accident....

Saw em yesterday evening watching ducks fly.

I wish i had teal. All i got are mallards and whistlers and neither can be shot ever since momma claimed them as pets.

Watched numerous big wads of blue wings this morning while dove hunting.

Guy, tell me more about these teal tags and this honey hole. I will be running 3 airboats opening weekend and need to put my clients on birds. These are my best clients and I will be running double trips both days....am and pm hunts

Don’t be stingy. Give me your full plumage hole

Love that full plumage hole

Had two come into my little pond this afternoon.

We have them by the hundreds as the big lake. Hope they stick around.

Yesterday while out scouting for dove just East of Ray Bob, I saw a group of 15 or more buzz by a pond I was near.

Fished Lake Champion in Colorado City this past weekend and there were 3-4 groups of anywhere from 30-50 birds that kept flushing and bouncing all around the lake.

Even had a flock of about 10-12 pintails fly over.

Sorry, I’m trying to cut back on helping guides too much this season, but that blue-winged teal honey hole I posted should carry you and your clients thru teal season, just gotta watch out for all the Barney’s, but should be enough birds to go around.

Out at the lease again yesterday finishing up blinds, our rice paddy section has been mostly filled with water and we had well over 150 teal on the water...love it when I nice sized flock gets up, looks so cool. My dog cannot wait...she turned 1 in April.

Dove hunting this evening we saw group after group of teal. There must of been 20+ different groups with some really large numbers in them as well. Love hearing them soar over before you see them!

Went out and scouted before this last front and found one flooded pasture with a good 3-400 in it, havent seen more then 50 now but hoping for a good opener!

Saw a few big flocks of Teal while hunting in Breckenridge this weekend.

On 9/1 I had two groups buzz my dove mojo on the edge of a dry, shredded sunflower field. No water anywhere around. They did 2 or 3 circles before moving on.

One of my flooded dove fields has a bunch. Call my duck guy yesterday and he brought a friend out this morning. They were done in 20 minutes. Said he saw 100-125 in this little flooded area. After he left I drove by by and the Teal came back, had about 25 sitting in the little flooded area.

Stompy, they heck with the dove, you need to flood your fields!

Hey Ricky, this is 80% serious, and 20% BS.

I'd consider that if I had access to water, this is sorta west Texas. But when this particular area is flooded it's a kill hole for all sorta ducks.

Why would I care? I guess I’m the new sparkle in your eye, as you’ve taken such a liking to me.
