Aren't teal the birds that can only fly straight up and down?

Nope, they can strafe a layout of dekes, below radar, and provide some fine crossing shots, too. I have seen them drop almost straight down from high altitude, though.

Teal are my favorite duck to shoot.
I was very young when Michigan had it's last early teal season. I have been forced to shoot them in Indiana for the last 20 or so years.
It's quite the conflict, do I set up for nuisance geese? or set up for Teal? I like the shooting aspects of teal much better than geese.

This old girl does too.
She's supposed to be dead by now, so every hunt these days is precious.


Out there doing it best I can.

Teal are the perfect bird to perfect hitting the third bird in line while aim for the first. Good eating too.

Actually I have hit the FIFTH bird--tailwind plus teal equals "Look out, tail-end Charlie"....

The ones I've cooked rendered out about as much industrial-strength duck cholesterol as they did meat. What was left was very good, tho. About a taquito's worth of great meat. Where I hunted them it was upland hunting--corn stubble.

The dog and I got out yesterday evening for a short hunt. Five points and flushes, four shots at three birds, one hit and brought to hand.



The 100 plus year old William Read & Son 12 Gauge Belgian Guild gun did it's job one more time.

I shot some early geese with the Remmy.
I move on to shorebirds tomorrow, then into the uplands on the 15th.
Hope to add a few Rails, Snipe, and perhaps a Gallinule for the members.

Hi all, great pics and posts! Well this weekend was our opener for Sharpies and huns. It was pretty much a bust, the place we went to where we always did well didn't pan out. Didn't see many birds and there is a lot of row crop still up. Have a hunch that's where they're hanging out. My son Will did manage to get a grouse on Sat. and Sun. (forgot the camera so no pics), I didn't get any shots. So....today we hunted around the house and did well. Will managed two and I got three and a hun.

Will and his birds, he was using his 16ga Sauer Royal:



My birds, I was using my 20ga Yildiz:



My 13 year old GSP Duchess came out today with us, still going strong!

Best!

Opening of dove season was spotty, but everyone in the county is drilling wheat for the winter....the doves are back; helped by a couple of fronts. Quick limits are the order of the day. The 16 gauge is still my favorite, although a model 42 .410 will get a chance tomorrow.
