This is not one of our hunting ponds, but it usually has water - took the pic to show how low our water is in the marsh as of June 25, 2022

Same grandsons a few years ago

[Darren]

Wow! And even with that big rain that came through last week, still mud flats .

Well, likely still mudflats, didnt seem like anywhere got enough to really dent the deficit.

[MARSH BEAR]

Tomorrow will be 8 weeks until teal season - that is 56 days
We will make one more trip to the marsh on July 30 - after that just sit and wait.

A friend of mine was able to get this for me

[DComeaux]

NICE!!!

[Ducaholic]

NICE!!!

I second that notion

[MARSH BEAR]

One of our camp members celebrating Christmas as a reindeer - you know what they say what happens at the camp stays at the camp
May have been alcohol induced

[DComeaux]

I actually laughed out loud.

[SpinnerMan]

And then the damn internet came along.

^^^^^

[Rick]

So, so much that ain't right.

[Deltaman]

Hilarious!!!!!

[MARSH BEAR]

Leaving for the camp. We need to replace a walkway to one of our blinds, and plant more grass at 3 blinds.
A fun time will be had by all. Should not see any reindeer until Christmas time.

[Rick]

Should not see any reindeer until Christmas time.

Bet I wasn't the only one thinking "So that's a marsh bear."

[MARSH BEAR]

Went to the camp this weekend, but I did not go in the marsh. I pulled by back Friday while loading some of the tools. The older, greyer, wiser John stayed at the camp and worked on decoys - the younger John would have gone anyway and been laid up for a week.
Reports are the water is still low in the marsh and grass is growing, they did not see any ducks.

Exactly!

Today is August 10, 2022 - ONE month until teal season

[MARSH BEAR]

my last post said one month until teal season - today August 26, 2022 only 15 days until teal season.

[DComeaux]

It's getting close!

Whats your water situation like? Gotten any better?

[MARSH BEAR]

We have not been in the marsh since the end of July. A club member lives in Sulphur and said they have been having lots and lots of rain, so I guess the water in the marsh will be up as usual for Teal season. Barring any storm I will be there. This past weekend I spent gathering hunting stuff. My shell box is ready including treats for Abby. It's amazing the amount of stuff needed to duck hunt. I will admit I carry more stuff than most people.

...I will admit I carry more stuff than most people.

Being in a position to hand a lot of peoples' stuff in and out of the boat, I'd think that no small trick.

[MARSH BEAR]

I got a report last night from the commercial fisherman that fishes our marsh - he said we were loaded with teal - then I woke up
I have not heard any reports of teal in my area, from the sounds of others here I am not expecting much.
Buddy and I are leaving for the camp this afternoon - tomorrow we will pump out blinds and get our decoys ready.
Good luck to all

Made me laugh.

[MARSH BEAR]

Buddy and I went out Friday and pumped out all the blinds. We did not see a single teal. We were out there from 7:30 to noon, plenty of time to see something.
