First Teal hunt of the season


Got up at 3:30, hit the marsh around 5:00.   Setup and at 6:33 had the first single blue wing in the decoys.   Will made a good shot, one bird down.  About 20 minutes later, a Green wing teal drake lit in and another good shit had us with 2 birds in the bag.   A pair flew in, bad shooting and a pair flew out.  A big group flew in, Will dropped 1, I got 2.  One of mine flew a ways before dropping into some tall grasses.   Thankfully Bosco was able to hunt it up and retrieve for me.

We decided to pick up around 9:00, we moved to the top of the levee getting gear organized when we spotted another large group of teal.  We hit the deck they came in and Will got 1, I had poor shooting and didn't get any.  

Total for the day: Will with 4, dad with 2.





Came home to find this in the yard.
