I know theyre on their way. Hows everyones ponds lookin? Any good reports and what region are ya hunting?

I'm hunting anywhere from ponchartrain to lafayette to jonesville and havent seen ANY teal. This doesnt seem good

oh! and friends in monroe havent seen any around their corn fields or the marsh by them either. I know its still early but i like to start seein some soon..

Seen a few teal here, but very little so far. Plenty of wood ducks and black ducks, but they're always here.

Too early. The blue wings will start showing up in numbers around mid Sept...at least in FL.

Saw a few Saturday but not many.

None on the texas coast.

Saw some around bob's lake Saturday afternoon. By mid sept SW La will be covered with them

What water we have left is holdin TONS of Mosquitos !! No teal yet......maybe well be below 100 by teal season

Been working in the marsh and yet to see a single one. Pontchatrain/Barataria basins

Seen a couple on my scouts but not any size to the flocks, Over in Pecan Island where i hunt when i go to LA they are starting to show up pretty good over there!

My son went last weekend and saw a few but my ponds are jammed up with damn lillies!! Time to start spraying them and crossing my fingers.

As soon as the weather drops below 60 degrees them lillies will be gone don't worry about them. Save yourself the time of spraying them

None yet here in Indiana. Seeing woodies on my slough working around. Should see some teal in a couple weeks.

Been seeing a good bit more than usual here in Northeast Alabama. Sort of strange actually...

Haven't scouted yet but last year there weren't any the week before the season in Lake Okeechobee and opening day they were swarming like bee's. I CAN'T WAIT!!

Let me know when to show up Eddie.

ya, we never had a good teal season in FL.. the dates always seemed to be set too early in my opinion.

Yeah some corn and swear potatoes in mine so should do good hahahahaha

saw bout 15 her ein EsTx saturday right after the ran past. Had 6 actualy land 40 yards down the bank from the family while we were fishing!!! Dog almost got 1 of them!!!!!

Round the Red river we have had them for about 2 weeks now.

They are still up here in Wisconsin but im sure once it hits 40 they won't be. They are the biggest cold weather puzzy ducks. The minute its cold they leave.. Their cousin the Green winger will be here in November somtimes

whats the fl early season dates? its been a while since ive hunted there.

Had about 50 or so yesterday on the watershed.

This year in FL it Sept 24 to 28. We get 60 days during the regular season.

was out on friday riding and alittle scouting and still found some that couldnt fly yet i think you may have a couple weeks

ya, i was out today. two hen woodies is what i saw all day.. didnt even see woodies in the hole i almost always see woddies in. i mainly started this question cause a buddy of mine in tx flushed a group of bout 100 and another bout 70 last weekend, which i though was real wierd and he usually dont exaggerate..

I know this sounds wierd in a way but i live in east tx an all of the lakes are very very low but over the years we have realized something an that may just be us but when the lakes are really low we kill an see a lot more birds than when the lakes are high. Teal numbers especially seem be better when lake is low low I guess because the water depth

They seem to keep movin' though. With no water, all the hunters are confined to the same areas too. Last year the birds did not seem to stay long. Lot of mornings when we got to the lake it was covered with birds and they'd be gone and headin' south by sunrise. No food, no place to hide, no ducks.

Food is better up in the woods. When the water is high, you can get away from other people and find where the birds are hiding. Just find you some acorns and life is good.

Its all in how much water is availible to the ducks.

This past duck season it was very dry around here, all the beaver ponds, bottomland, ag feilds, and sloughs were dry. We had more teal in early season all the way through duck season than I can ever remember.

There is also a small creek and some bottomland that floods behind my house, in wet years there would be hundreds of those little ponds and the Woodies would be spread out to where you hardly see a duck.

This year I killed my 3 nearly every time I went in the mudholes on the creek.

I seen a big group around the bottoms where we hunt in oklahoma. But that was only ones. Could be residents though. Just not sure. Maybe 100 ducks . Sure got my trigger finger to itching lol. Can't wait.!

We always slam them on cold and low water years.
