Gastro Gnome - Eat Better Wherever

Early Teal opens without much fanfare (or gunplay)

Sorry to hear about that Sterling.

I was out to a new spot yesterday. We got 4. But that was a bit of luck. The first flock was big and fast, it came by once from behind before I could @#)(# hammers, or even grab my gun actually. They wheeled around and came back at us again, but now we were ready. The smoke and fireball of the first shot obliterated the flock from view , but I was confident I got my bird with the first barrel. They came up out of the cloud and I fired the second to no effect. But when I looked down, there were three birds on the water. Never had that happen before. 1.25 ounces of Bi #5s and 80 grs of Swiss 1.5 did that trick well.

We ended up with 4 after a single came in and then rains and thunderstorms ran us off at about 8:15.

So, not many teal around, but we did see a ton of (still not legal) geese. This spot will be great for them and maybe for big ducks too.
