Post Hiding from Tealbirds
Normally we hunt sitting in cover like brush or lillies, but this year the water line is 100yds from any cover. I worry a little too much about things, considering I've shot my limit of teal picking up the first one I shot out in the decoys...

But If we just bring PLENTY of brush like willow limbs and a buralp background do yall think the teal will flare off a new pile of brush out in the wide open?

Get a layout blind, or dig a pit

Layout blinds would be the best answer, none of my friends want to buy one though...

Wood if the waters not that deep , we,ve did some getto hunting but works very good , take a foldout lawnchair lay it down flat just off the waters surface cover it with burlapp and some light brush works very well , use it like a layout boat , tell your buddys if they want to kills some teal this is deadly. and very cheap to do and it set up in just a few minutes.

It was like that for us last year when Texas had such a bad drought.. If theres absolutely no cover anywhere around, then make your own surroundings to places you plan on hunting quite a bit, with a blind in the middle.. if not.. Well we went as far as digging pits and laying in them with brush thrown over and a half lawnchair (cut the back out) and a back rest.. Make due with what youve got.. Its teal season.. In a decent spot you should have your limit before they can really see you anyways..

Woodie, just carry some brush out there and make a bush to hide in. They're teal, no layout blinds needed.

It's impossible to grab ducks from underneath with scuba gear. It's like they have a 6th or maybe even a 7th sense for that. :lol:

Woodie, can't speak for your friends but as skinny as you are you could just wear brown clothes and stand up straight. They will certainly mistake you as a small dead tree. :lol:
I could hunt w/ you and do the same and they would think I was a big stump or beaver hut. :lol:

Sit in the brush way back from the water and smack 'em with a .22-250 when they land. Might not have much bird left but it'll sharpen your rifle skills :lol:

Migrator, I don't know if we can hunt together. If there's a beaver hut around, I'm usually hunkered down up against it. Might get kinda weird. :lol:

Teal are good eating but dumb. Just act like your taking or piss or making a samich and they will fly by. The key is to act like your not looking for them. :lol:
