Teal season
Opening day of Teal season here in southern Louisiana. Had rotator cuff surgery 2 months ago so I shot a DHE .410 today. My two guests and I were wondering out loud about if we were going to see any Teal today. About two minutes after shooting time, 50 birds landed in the decoys. We were so surprised that while we were discussing how to jump them, they got up and flew away! We had steady action after that and limited out in about an hour. The .410 only shoots 3/8ths of an ounce of steel shot but If you take your shots at no more than 25 yards, it does the job. I was very pleased with the little gun and it's lack of recoil. My guests finished before I did, but they were shooting 12 ga guns at longer range. The dogs worked well and we only had to scare off 2 medium sized alligators. 63 degrees, no clouds and a light southerly breeze, All considered, a very good morning. Bill
