Default Opening day of Minnesota Teal Season
We had a good outing and great weather for the opener of the early teal season in Minnesota today. Three of us bagged 9 teal. I was shooting my 12 gauge lifter that was shipped to Hamburg Iowa in July of 1877. I was shooting some hand loaded #4 bismuth being propelled by black powder. The barrels are 30" choked cylinder and cylinder and proved effective on the close teal shots we had.

Congratulations, Matt. Good to know the teal might be heading our way. Leave us a few!
