Does anybody hunt from a boat blind during teal season? I have heard rumors that teal will flare from brown pop up blinds.Whats the best way to hunt from a boat blind when everything in the marsh is green?

All you need is a few teal dec's and maybe some mallard hens, a whistle, and a shotgun. You just gotta get where they want to be or in the middle of the flight path. They fly low to the water. I don't waste my time setting up a blind during teal season. Sometimes we just sit in the boat, and sometimes we'll just stand in the water. If you get in to them, it only takes about ten minutes to get a couple limits. peep, peep, boom boom, peep peep, booom boom, time to go home...

go into a pasture the day before and cut a TON of cypress weeds. Lay in the floor of the boat with burlap over you and stick the weeds in the mud around the boat and in the boat wherever you can. Thats what i do and it seems to work pretty well.

ya get some pal meadow leaves and add the to the side of the blind to brake up the brown grass. and or get marsh grass that is still green but make shoure u leave them in the water so they will stay green for a wile

I would say on hunting any duck, do your best to blend in and be invisible. If you stand back and think you still look out of place, it's probably 10 times worse from a duck's view.

cut about 20 4foot pine's and stick them in the mud around the boat.work's good here.

Man, I've killed more teal walking around in the decoys, or just standing out in the water than I have out of a blind. I love working teal, they are easy if you get into em. I've shot teal just sitting in a boat with a piece of burlap covering the motor. Never had to put that much work in to it. Even during big duck season, if I find a place thats holding teal, I don't put nearly the work I put in to shooting big ducks.

I've limited out several mornings where we set up about 200 yards off the flight path. Just walked over to where they were flying, and shot limits without dec's, standing in calf deep water. They'll come back too even with out dec's. Just hit em with the whistle and they come runnin... Maybe just been lucky

I always hunt teal season from a boat blind and do great

Too lazy to post these twice. Blend in. Figure out what the veg looks like where you are going to set up, and customize your blind to the area. I do this all the time. In FL it is green about all year. Here's link to my blind. Just scroll down.

for those of you who get camoed up and put a lot of time into getting concealed for teal season, i feel sorry for yall. maybe its something yall have to do where you hunt but it dont take much skill or concealment to kill teal here in texas. we can go out in some green tshirts and blue jeans, much like we do for dove, with only a handful of dekes and a whilstle, kneel down in the grass or stand by a tree, and lost of time have a 4 or 5 man limit in an half hour. maybe they are more educated over in other places but over here they really are some dumb birds

i like to stay in the boat beacause cottonmouths dont play.

What part of FL you in? I'm from Gainesville.

Yeah, my dad hunted there a few times one year. Said the teal were ok, few merganzers. For some reason I never hunted back home. We drove to TX every Thanksgiving and Christmas for as long as I can remember. Now I live here, and have hunted pretty much every day off during the season in the last 4 or 5 years.

I saw a hunting show the other day where they were duck hunting in Gainesville. I never met anyone who hunted for anything other than deer or pigs. Never noticed ducks too many places, and never met anyone who duck hunted.

That show was filmed on OL! The last thing it needs is more PR.

Unfortunately that is becoming the predominant bird in FL. We have the stay in S FL and they are absolutely loaded with ducks. Pick your specie and then go after a drake only hunt. It is more like dove hunting though than duck hunting!

yea dem teal jusy hunt easier here in texas
