This morning I went and scouted a public land pond.

It showed some promise. A few trees near the bank for cover.

Here is the view from this spot.

This would put shots around 30 yards.
I jumped a group of teal and woodies. Then had a few groups of cans fly over! I can't wait for the opener!

I wonder why? Is there typically a good amount of BWT? I've seen lots of wood ducks.Hope you see more than us
Not a lot of birds about. Very few are teal.

When does your season start?We saw very few teal this weekend as well. Tons of wood ducks like you said. Lots of geese but all large flocks up high, got a few to come look but no takers. Hunting NW Wisconsin. Boomer, looks like a good spot. Hope you get some ducks on it
It's difficult at first. The size is a big factor. Teal fly like fighter jets. Buy some decoys on craigslist and go try it out. Lots of fun!New to duck/goose hunting here. My youngest daughter really took a liking to hunting/fishing this past year, so we've been busy scouting for anything/everything. We've located an area that Canada geese visit a few times each week (we have an early 'resident' Canada goose season). We checked a couple of public land ponds and flushed some ducks. Two look like female teal, the other three looked like maybe male teal, or something else. They had white stripes on their wings, and they looked dark from a distance. How the heck do you properly identify ducks?

Have fun scaring some of those birds - I'll try to kill some of them when they fly south.
I was intimidated by duck ID for a long time and so didn't attempt to hunt them. Then it was explained to me that you can basically always kill the first duck without having to ID it and based on what you shoot you just make a list of what you CAN'T shoot for your next duck. For example you shoot a hen wood duck well you know you are one closer to the limit for that type and can still shoot any one duck for your next one.
