Two dogs, two openers

[Keith Doty]

Photo #1 is "Capt. Hooker" and his VH20 in Hondo, TX. taking a break between waves of white wing doves. It's well over 100 degrees, a field of chest high sunflowers and the doves are chillin' in a plastic bag on ice, we prefer them fresh, NOT poached!
Photo #2 and #3 is "Smoker" and "her" teal that fell to a VH12 w/bismuth in Garwood, TX. One week later, a flooded rice field and it was 70 degrees at dawn, not a mosquito to be had, and plenty of teal.
A good start to what I hope to be many "dog days" this fall and winter. I think working the dogs is the biggest part of the fun for me anymore.

Excellent photos and report! Interesting your teal season opens at the same time as your northern neighbors — ours opened yesterday in Missouri.

In my memory we've always opened early teal between about the 8th or 10th, and the 15th or 16th. For a number of years now we have had a three weekend,two week season. Years ago it was a 4 bird limit but has been 6 for some time now.
