also wondering if anyone tried Kent's Teal Steel last year and what you thought of it?

My Missouri Conservationist says that September 7 is the teal opener. I don't know if that's final but i'm sure that's probably going to be it. Do others see other ducks during teal season? I'm nervous that I won't be able to tell if they are teal or other ducks coming in. This will be my first teal season and only second duck season.

The only other one you have to worry about in Missouri that time of year are shovelers. In the early morning, they can look very similar in size and flight. Do some extra studying, cause you can bet the man will be checking hard the first week.
Shovelers? Try wood ducks. Practice your mud stompin skills if you can't identify a teal :yes:

Yep mostly woodies but have had a few spoonies come in. You really shouldn't go out by yourself for the first time teal unless your with a vet who can identify. Depending on the sun it can be hard!
