Ran down to the Atchafalya Delta today and saw so many teal it convinced me to build a blind.Teal were trying to land on me as i built the blind.

How many is so many?

Guess about six to seven hundred in one small hole in between some islands no need to look any where else cause when the daylight breaks it will be over as soon it starts

Damn send some my way. Were still not seeing many

seen that many in one spot,didn't even ride the hole dalta out of morgan city.

I saw quite a few on our lease today when we were picking up gator lines.

I was out sat and seen a couple hundred down here in florida.

Went out yesterday afternoon and didnt see any. Not down in the saltwater yet at least.

i hear theyre all in the basin

We shot two blue wings here in Bienville Parish on Saturday. Only saw one big group, and no other good reports on the lake.

from what im hearing the north end of the basin, say from the 16 north, isn't holding birds

Were in the area north of the 16 and not seeing much

Went on my lease in the Basin Saturday didnt see nothing and Sunday we shot four thats all we saw.... Chit sucks I ant never saw it this bad....I hope it gets better!

Anyone hunted the manchac/prairie area?

The extreme wet conditions and late spring on the prairies caused a generally delayed hatch. Some of the broods have been flying for less than a week. 2000 miles to migrate means that they need some muscle strength to make the journey. BWT are up 41% (according to the CWS and USFWS report) at almost 9 million birds. http://www.ducks.org/hunting/migration/ ... cast/page2

None of us are old enough to have seen production like this and we will likely not live long enough to see it again. I hunted in Acadia Parish and we had a nice hunt Sat. Sunday it was just too foggy. But we still got it done, it just took longer.

Bottom line on teal is, they are gonna be late. I'm headed out next weekend as well. As long as I'm able, I'll still be there regardless.

only a few places in the basin might be holding birds would be american lake,duck lake,and willow cove.thats the spots I sometimes hunt when im not down on the delta.

They are on their way. two days ago 4000+ flew through whitefish point on lake superior (they pay a fella to count them up there). Yesterday a buddy of mine saw a couple of thousand grouped up and heading south by my place which is north western lower peninsula of Michigan. Today another cold north wind blowing 15-25 overnight lows of upper 30's. good luck, they will be gone before our opener except for a few.

Down here in louisiana on the atchafalya delta the teal season opening weekend
was awsome I think just about everyone I talked to shot thier limit.
