Who's Ready!
Teal season opens up in 2 weeks. This afternoon I switched the yaks from fishing to hunting mode and started gathering gear and getting stuff ready. I went scouting last weekend and saw a few teal but more local wood ducks and mallards than teal. North Texas is always spotty during tel season but we should still knock out a few birds. I don't have any big trips planned this year, just going to stay flexible and local most likely. I would like to go hunt cranes at some point this season so gunna try to make that happen. Who else is ready? Anyone have any fun trips planned this fall/winter? ![]() |

After last year's weak season we're ready for Some birds to show. Got three or four spots located just need to scout them come Nov.
We're going to Kansas this year late November to hunt public. Hope it's not frozen by then. We pulled the kayaks out last weekend and made sure the covers were in order. Need to fill in some base brush and they'll be good to go. I've got some canada floaters on order for Kansas, may put them out here and see what happens. Don't really expect geese unless they're locals but I'm wondering if the ducks will react positively to them. Good luck to all!. |

Headed out tomorrow for a 4 day weekend. Start hunting dove Sunday Monday Tuesday. Get some good shooting practice in. Need to string up 3 dozen new teal dekes. And then we will see what happens in two weeks if they show up. Usually pretty slow here for teal. Last year was our best in a long time. Then no big ducks showed up. Can't wait.

I think you'll like that bismuth as it hits pretty hard, but I'd highly recommend you pattern it if you get the chance.
I shot their 3" 1 1/2 oz 4s last year and it took a lot more constriction than I initially thought it would to get them shooting right. I started out with a LM choke which threw great patterns at close range, but it took an IM to get the best density between 30-40 yards. Long story short, the bismuth needs a tighter choke than steel to perform well at an equivalent range. |

Spoonzilla!! I'm in I've got to get one. My buddy said it was his mission to kill and mount a full plumed one this year. I told him he won't do it without one of these.

Spoonies are fun to blast. They should have a separate limit for them somewhere between 10-100

Where we set up our 4-H Rifle Range, Texas Premier Sporting Arms in Sealy, has a pattern board set up at 40yds on our rifle range. If you need a place to pattern your ammo.

Definitely ready to get on the ducks this year. Will be guiding for an outfitter around Katy and picking up some hunts for an outfitter in Eagle Lake. Should be a good season.
Ranger is in the shop getting a tune up and wheel bearings fixed. Need to find some lead to pour some weights, I was given close to 6 doz decoys that need rigging. I've got a bit of work to do before big duck, but am ready to roll for teal. Looking forward to watching the sunrise over the decoys. |

Hoping for cold weather and good river levels up here. Last year wasn’t really one for the books, but we had some good times.
Blind at my grandmas farm is filled in with mud. It spent a couple weeks under about 9’ of water when we flooded this spring. |

weatherman reports we've got a weak front moving in friday. not sure if it is making it into north texas a current forecast is 95 on friday for dallas with east winds. Then Saturday is 97 with east winds. But he showed it moving down into DFW.
We will see, we got some warm weather forecasted on the long range forecast and i'm not seeing any major fronts moving in soon. |

I had a 25hp Merc on my GoDevil Surface Drive hull that is slick and it worked excellent. Slid a little more running WOT on corners, but not too bad.

I'm in no rush for Teal seaon. Dont care to fight the public and mosquitoes for hours. I'll shoot them come late November or after the split when I slow down on deer hunting. But the Teal are looking pretty heavy down here on the coast.

I have only been out 2 times in my new little rig and it works really really good, I am sure it has something to do with the Chine that is on this gator trax boat also but I can make a serious turn and it rolls on its side and doesnt blow out at all, seems to run really shallow also with the hunt deck on it holding the motor up pretty high and never really sinking down to much on take off. I am coming from multiple surface drive rigs back to a outboard this season, if I miss a surface drive that much then ill end up buying a used one next year and keep both motors. But Overall I really like the outboard paired with this boat so far.

I am fired up for this weekend. I prefer teal season over big duck season but then again big duck season was teal season 2.0 last year. Seemed like they never left.

I picked up a 15' war eagle with a 25 2 stroke Yamaha a few weeks ago. I've had thoughts of selling boat and trailer and keeping motor. Something like a gator trax would be on the list Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk |

I cant tell you so far I really like that gator trax, for such a small boat its stable and built solid. I couldnt pass up the deal I got, I called gator trax owner and he said if its not stolen to buy the rig. 2013 model boat and trailer with 2015 merc on it for 4800 bucks. He says they sale that boat and trailer for close to 6k right now with no motor! Good luck this season. I hope to put some teal in it on sunday for the first time.

![]() Got ourselves our 4 man limit this morning, 20 minute shoot kept the barrels hot. Best duck hunt I’ve ever had considering last year was my first year. If the season stays like this it’s gonna be a good one. |

We had 3 limits of teal this AM in Garwood. Fair amount of birds. Another group of 3 had limits down the road. Saw several groups still in the field around 9 so definitely not a barn burner for the start.
