12 18 Teal smackdown day

Back out on the marsh today. There were really big tidal swings. Going from a 15.1 down to a 6'. We started at the top of the tide and hunted the whole outgoing tide. There were not very many big ducks on the marsh and they pretty much had the game figured out. However, teal saved the day. We ended up with 12 birds for the day. Zephyr was challenged by deep drop offs and still being challenged to translate marking the bird with going and getting it. But he got lots of opportunities.
Totals got forgotten in the editing so I will add it here.
Drake - 42
Chris - 38
Zephyr - 36

Teal smackdowns are the best

[@northerntribeoutdoors5938]

They can get real Western real fast! I prefer wigeon smackdowns but if they aren't around then you take what comes in. As a bonus teal are probably the best table fare. Small but good. :)

How many widgen decoys do you use? Do you ever field hunt? Also, duck hunting near stanwood is getting bad also.

[@northerntribeoutdoors5938]

Typically use 18-24 the sils. I don't have any access to fields and not spent much time looking for it. I am a mud flat hunter at heart. :)

That is very generous. We just haven't spent time figuring out that game. We may have to give it a go sometime. Thanks for watching.
