Teal 2024.....plan on going ?

[Hangfire]

Looking at the current (2024-2025) hunting regulations (pg. 48) and it looks like teal opens next Saturday Sept 7th through Sept. 22nd with a bag limit of six.

Doesn't look like I'll be doing any waterfowl hunting this year, my buddy (who has the land permission) had a six hour surgery back in May to replace his heart aortic valve and his doc told him to stay away from shotguns this year.

Here's a recent 2024 five minute teal video from down in Louisiana to get you pumped.

Nope. I spent 5 hours on the river today and didn’t see a duck or dove.

There's a few that have arrived in the last couple days. All blue wing.

I saw a flock this morning while dove hunting. I will be definitely going but it is always hit and miss for me.

I typically do best on a public water spot but it is just hard to get motivated to go by myself in the boat.

Cold front may help. Except it is so dry my water is gone.

I'm always more interested in finding a hot dove field. I absolutely love duck hunting. However getting in that warm- ass water and shooting a few ugly-ass blue wings just doesn't seem as fun as heating up the barrels on some doves.

I was surprised how dry the ponds are out there, its bad!

Will look at my usual teal places tomorrow but I bet they will be dry. The birds I've seen this last week are on water I've never seen teal on before.

 

[Okie4570]

All dry.

I was up on the Salt Fork yesterday and saw A BUNCH of pelicans but not a single duck.
