This morning is our Teal season opening day and I hear of some great reports of birds are down. Will be heading out shortly.

I will be hunting the rice fields south of Kaplan, La.

I hope that you get in some good shooting. I am not a duck hunter, only a duck eater.

Chasing ducks is the best part of fall! Our teal season was last week, it was in the upper 80's and humid. All I seen was 4 spoonbills and a pair of tundra swans. Now today it was 34 when I got up but, duck season doesn't open for 3 more weeks

. Never been to LA to duck hunt but did hunt the White river bottoms in AR for few years. Good luck too all.

Slow going this morning, but we did fine. Took till 9am to fill a 4 person limit.
My daughter with a few.

Oh, she did the best shot of the day.

Great fun! I use to duck and goose hunt a lot back during the 1960's when I lived in Michigan's UP.

Ducks are certainly 'safe' from me....box of shells equals 1/2-a-duck.

But I can make some awesome calls! Always loved making them...

Do you? I'm always looking for a new call.

MM, with this cool weather, my daughter will make some duck gumbo. Teal are about the best to eat to me.

Fish, you know very well that I loves Gumbo,

and I'm sure that your Daughter is a good Gumbo maker.

Duck Gumbo is some good, yeah.

Sil smoked those Teal yesterday afternoon and my daughter will make the gumbo today.

Dam cool out there this morning. Looks like it might be a record low for us today.

Gumbo weather for sure.

MM, she learn how to cook from her Dad, not Mom. Going on 36 years with the wife and this is what I say about my wife's cooking. "No two meals look a like, but they all taste the same".

For a full blooded coonass, she just can't cook. Something unhear of in these parts.

I haven't waterfowl hunted in many years. I used to really enjoy it though

Made another teal hunt yesterday with my so, daughter and SIL. One birds short of 3 limits. The season closes today.

The teal just about are all gone now anyway.

We are just starting to see some big ducks.

Anyone that can limit on Teal are good wing-shots.

Started hunting them little jets as a kid.

Both of my kids started as young kids hunting them too.

It's nice now that the kids are taking Dad hunting for a change.

Can't wait till big duck season. Nov 7th this year.
