I am pumped up for early teal. It seems like the end to the beginning gets longer as I get older.

New Mexico is retarded when it comes to watefowl rules and regs. We also only get 9 days for early teal instead of a full 16.

Our opener is in five days, dekes are and blinds are all ready, MOJOS all charged and goodtogo, ammo's loaded . Change of plans though , usually do the opener up north here in the swamps, but I'll be down south this year this year where we hunt them in the fields - we just have to hope the eas are off a certain field and we'll be okay!!

Early goose is open on the ND side of the line right now. Runs Aug. 15 - Sept. 15. Had a perfect pea field all lined up on Sunday, but we put out too many decoys and had them in too big of a group. Had geese in the field all around us, but none of them came in to the spread. Only a matter of time before we kill a pile, limit is 15 per shooter and more pea fields are being cut daily.

Are birds starting to move yet? Seems too hot, but my dog is shedding like mad, and I noticed trees in Colorado turning yellow already. Thinking it may be an early and hard winter this year.

Nothing moving in here yet. Biggest crop of local geese I ever seen, however. Coupled with lots of water around and a ton of pea fields in the area, I'm expecting to run short of steel shot before the end of season - provided we don't get early snow and freeze up.

Our local geese seem slim. But we are seeing alot of big ducks for this time of year

I'm ready for dove opener this w/e, but not ready for ducks at all. Need to get some teal dekes... haven't seen any here yet, but I've heard we get some action in these parts on the tanks in late Sept. Dunno if they're greenwings or bluewings or a mix. Anybody out here know for sure? (jeez... I'm channeling Gus...)

Spent alot of time in Canada, trees turn because of the length of days, not temperature, at least according to the locals around Laval

Unless I tag out on Friday or Saturday for archery deer in ND, the geese are going to have to wait. Several VERY nice bucks picked out to try stick an arrow in and I want a velvet buck in the worst way.
