With what was a solid September teal season for most now faintly in the rearview mirror, Louisiana waterfowlers are keenly focused on the imminent kickoff to the state’s “big duck” season. […]
As we find ourselves a month away from kicking off the 2011-12 waterfowl seasons, it’s a great time to gather up your gear to get ready for the November openers. […]
Despite a mixed outlook going into the 2011 teal season, it appears that Tropical Storm Lee’s 11th-hour visit was a temporary heart-stopper instead of a show-stopper. […]
Following the usual long offseason, made longer by reports of record numbers of blue-winged teal and stellar habitat conditions along coastal Louisiana, hunters were particularly optimistic heading into this weekend’s teal season kickoff. […]
The 2010-2011 duck season looks to be one that will be talked about for a while in Louisiana waterfowling circles. Without a doubt, the birds came down to our state, aided largely by frequent cold fronts and a flyway-wide drought that put more birds in Louisiana ponds for most hunters. […]
The 2010 duck season has been just what the doctor ordered, so far. Following lackluster early starts in recent years, this year bucked the trend with a parade of respectable cold fronts pushing into the Bayou State. […]
With the aerial surveys coming out just before the opener, anticipation could not have been higher for the opening weekend of duck season. […]
The “big duck” season is finally here, and not a moment too soon for the hoards of waterfowlers across the state still ravenous from September’s taste. […]
I got the call, and not a moment too soon. Sure the phone was ringing, but the quacking ringtone denoted the beckon of a hunting buddy to all within earshot of my office desk. […]

Following rampant, doubtful speculation during the summer months, Louisiana hunters are set to get a taste of teal this weekend, and the reports look promising despite the sweltering temperatures. […]
As the duck season kicked off in mid-November, Louisiana waterfowlers held hope that Old Man Winter would arrive to bring down the hoards of birds we had all heard about. […]
It appears as though Old Man Winter arrived in earnest, making for good weather conditions to kickoff the second split of the 2009-10 duck season. However, persistent rainfall has continued to hamper some hunters’ efforts, with many of the state’s rivers at or near flood stage. […]
Despite warm conditions and relatively few birds just prior to the season, Louisiana duck hunters remained hopeful that they’d get a good push of winter weather in mid-November as the season kicked off. […]
