The fast flying Blue Wing Teal have made their way down the Mississippi Flyway in a BIG way this year. As I posted earlier, DU has recorded record numbers of these crafty creatures. Well, I found out this weekend that we are seeing the results of some of these record numbers right here in Mississippi. I had the privelage of going on two teal hunts this past weekend, and the teal really showed up. I have been teal hunting for about ten years, and I have NEVER seen equivalent numbers of birds that we have this year. Reports across the nation agree with my observations-that there are more of these things than there ever has been before. Hunters and outdoor enthusiasts better enjoy it while they can, because one thing about teal is: they're always on the move! They are one of the fastest flying waterfowl species in North America. The Blue Wings always start their migration earlier than most waterfowl species as they make their way towards South America and Mexico.If you haven't had a chance to hunt them yet, you better hurry cause' the season closes September 30!
