the birds arent here yet .... i would hold off for real ....doesnt get good here til dec and jan .... but there are a few mallards around, blacks, teal, spoons, and a few woodies still holding ....as far as being strange to shoot teal this time of year .....we shoot em here all the way up til the end of the season .... the blue wings are the ones that bug out early for the most part .... dunno why but the gw's are a lil hardier bird it seems ... not sayin ya wrong ... i believe most of em are already south wearin shades and soakin up the warm weather .... but ALOT stay back and if ya can find em .... ya can get into em in great numbers into january
