In close to two decades of chasing blue-winged teal across the Red River Valley during the month of September, my success has been…well, it has been modest at best.
Each season has produced one or two teal here. And every so often, two or three teal there.
But never a four-bird limit of blue-winged teal.
A hunt years ago with Sherman, Texas attorney Craig Watson and former Austin College assistant football coach Vance Morris was simply a day late and a dollar short.
Watson had discovered a sizable number of teal on Lake Texoma a few days before our hunt. But an overnight cold front and the here-today, gone-tomorrow flighty nature of bluewings left us with only a bird or two in the bag.
A hunt with my old high school pal Mike Bardwell several years back produced a really good shoot when a couple of good flocks screamed into the decoys. With four hunters in the blind, our bag of 11 teal wasn’t bad.
But it wasn’t a limit.
A year or two, a jump shooting effort on a North Texas stock tank brought me as close as I’ve ever been to a limit of blue-winged teal.
When the shooting was done, a surprising triple had been scored by yours truly.

Our deer hunting takes place on properties that adjoin or are near Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge. Some of the largest deer taken each year in Texas come from or around Hagerman NWR! Almost 99% of the properties that surround the refuge are low fence allowing for these monster deer to come onto other properties outside the refuge thus giving our hunters excellent opportunities to take a Buck of a lifetime!
