I hope this qualifies as other game since it\'s the only game in town for me right now...

The early teal season opened Sat 9-12... I never miss the early teal season opener and I wasn\'t even thinkin\' about goin\' but the boys said they had me set up and lets go... After a lot of arm twistin\' :D I said ok... I didn\'t really feel like goin\' but I\'m glad I did... Both my son\'s and all 5 of my grandson went... We didn\'t kill but 14 teal BUT it was one of the best teal season openers I\'ve ever had and I never got out of the boat... Me and the 2 youngest grandboys (5 and 6 years ol\') played with lily pads and spent shotgun hulls and dead ducks and what ever else they could find... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I let The ol\'est son talk me into the next day and it was eventful to say the least... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: We only killed 2 teal between 3 of us but I got adventurous and decided to get out of the boat... Ya had to be there... :D Oxygen slung over one shoulder and shotgun slug over the other... I did kill one of the two but paid the price... Where we hunt teal the bottom is very, very soggy mud... Got my feet tangled and went \"swimming\" as we call it when someone falls in the water... It must of been a sight... Me on all fours in knee deep water... I could get back up but after what seemed like a few minutes my ol\'est son helped me up and back in the boat... I\'m just glad it wasn\'t 30 degrees... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: But I survived and am back to doin\' what little I can when I can BUT I did have the BEST hunt of my life on Sat... :upthumb: :upthumb: Now Sunday was a different story... :oops: :oops:

Now I can hope and pray to be able to be able to set and look for a deer in Oct and maybe even go try to shoot a duck in Nov, Dec and Jan... :upthumb: :upthumb:
 
Glad to hear you were able to get back out there Phil! Sounds like a great way to start the year.
 
x2! Glad you were able to make it out, Phil! :upthumb:
I look forward to you getting out there again and hope you are able to shoot a few more. :mg:
 
awesome job phil, everyone will remember that hunt more than just another opener hunt.
 
This time I\'m trying to talk the boys into going on a early morning trip to the lake for some teal hunting... :D :D Wish me luck since niether of um want to go... :downthumb: :downthumb:

Good luck, Phil!!!!!

Don\'t give them an option. Tell them they are going
 
I got overruled for tomorrow :( :( but a good to go for Sunday... :upthumb: :upthumb:

They said it would be too hot for me tomorrow but a front is coming through and cooler Sunday...
 
It will be great just being out there again... :upthumb: :upthumb: Killing a teal or two will be a bonus... :D :D
 
Went today with the same results... Not many ducks and I was drying clothes and waders again when I got home... :lol: :lol:

I\'m going to have to go back in time and remember how I kept from falling every time I shot when I didn\'t fall each time I shot... :D :D

We killed a few teal and I even kill one while in the act of falling on my back... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

It\'s embarass :oops: :oops: ing but I guess time stands still for no one... :sick: :sick:
 
Well ended up the early teal season last weekend with no one to go with and no place to go... :downthumb: :downthumb:

We didn\'t kill many this year but that openin\' day with all the kids and grandkids was worth it all... :upthumb: :upthumb:
 
I\'m sure you\'ll be back out there again soon Phil. Looking forward to hearing about you knocking some ducks out of the sky!
 
You\'ll get them next go-around, Phil!


Worst case I will go pick up Scott in Missouri and drive out to Arkansas and we will keep you company.
 
It\'s gettin\' bad... :D :D My oldest son has decided I need to put up my 12 ga and go down to a sweet 16 he has... :geek: :geek: He thinks it will be easier for me to shoot and keep on my feet... I told him just take me back to when I was a kid and I\'ll shoot one of the grandkids 20 ga and they can shoot the sweet 16 or my beretta extrema.. He told me he wanted me to kill a few ducks without getting wet and cold... They are treating me like a kid anyway... But the old man just might surprise the young un\'s... :upthumb: :upthumb:

Less than 2 month til we find out... :D :D
