So I am just trying to get a feel for how many of you teal hunt with mallard or other duck decoys and how many of you use strictly teal? The same goes for Mojos? I have always used my standard size mallards and not had a problem but was thinking about getting some teal and a teal mojo but wondered if it is really worth it?
I set out about 7 dozen teal, but don't think you need teal specific dekes at all. I find teal to be, well, pretty stupid. (talkin' early teal). My experience with them is they are either here, or they ain't - you either limit in usually 5 minutes.....or don't see any. IF they are around, I think a rig of any decoys would work.
I use only teal moreso because over the 3 decades I've been hunting, I've ammassed a lot of gear, and simply have the teal dekes to use. Much easier hauling 7 dozen little dekes around than hauling the big dekes. If I were a purist, I'd use only my hen teal dekes.
Dontcha forget bout the peeCANS for a snack! We go down to the crick and fish with the yuppers. Eh...what's the difference between a Ferrari and and a bag full of Canadians? I dont have a Ferrari in my garage

I know that your more likely to be sentenced to life for getting a DUI as apposed to murder up there. Which I find odd. I deal with Canadians and yuppers quite a bit for work and they ALL drink like sailors.

O dontcha know we got the toboggans loaded and ready to drag along our gear. Bring a gallon of that tasty **** milk for them yuppers on the crick. Gonna be a booger of a year ootside eh? Betchur bottom loonie on it!
IF I/we go, I'll probably use the yak(s) if I'm only having to haul teal decoys. Yak is always ready. Should I decide to use the canoe (to haul Canuk rig, with blinds, as them Canuks ain't as stupid as teal), I'd have to drag it out from under the laurel trees and kill the ant colony that seems to take up residence in it every year.
Hades, I haven't even taken an inventory of what shells I have availablle for Sunday's dove opener. Seems I get more behind every year. Sucks gettin' old.
I have my gear ready for dove and cleaned all my guns.
I required the ignition on my motor and have ran the boat periodically this summer. It's running just fine, then again it's a mud motor and change the oil and its ready to go!
I just mainly have to scout, which really won't be for another week and a half.
I usually go with 2-3 dozen teal hen and 1-2 teal mojos. I actually paint my teal mojos to look like early season blue wings. Even tho I think teal will come into anything because the first season I went I used a dozen mallards and I was killing them then. Now that I've acquired a lot of decoys and free time to paint I try to make it as real as possible for my own satisfaction. Lol
Nothing to get excited about maybe 10 on 3 different spots on different days.
