Its the sport of kings! Best time on the water you can have. You have to try it. seeing that first flight rip overhead is worth all of the the preparation. instant hook, and before long you are a duck hunter for life. but remember, conservation is key. any group you don't shoot will return in greater numbers next year. happy quackin!
We go all hens only, maybe even some gadwall decoys or mallard hens since they aren’t fully plumed up yet. Bright green wing drakes or blue wing drakes...we keep those in the sack. And YES ripples ripples ripples!
In most states teal are in eclipse plumage so 100 percent hen decoys for early season to match the birds. Size 6 or 7 steel for denser patterns on these small ducks. Teal typically inhabit very shallow water...exposed mud flats, 2 inches of water is prime for layout shooting out of a jet sled. Up here in Alaska , a couple thermocells help keep mosquitoes away on calm, warm days (our teal season starts Sept 1 and is primarily green wing teal).
Just got back from opening and the ducks always change the plan on you! Yes agreed teal get down in the decoys! But this weekend there was a 25 mph wind they were getting in the decoys at first pass catching you by surprise no pass bys!
Went scout a little on Mermentau River on Monday. Water is tremble smelling has dead fish all over. Hurricane really messed us up for teal season. I do hear good reports from the rice fields. BUt who can afford that.
Wish we had more teal than we do here in WV. We are not allowed to shoot them here, but the juices are flowing for hunting BAD by early September and we have to settle for geese!
John, you know how you can tell you should cut back on the food? Your waders have a zipper in the front! Haha Potlicker Jase shooting them off the water!
Let em work isn't a thing out in public, because 9/10 if we have ducks working us there's some working other groups and the first person to shoot will scatter every single duck in that area. So here in public we shoot when we can 🤣🤣
I must say the Duck Commander teal decoys are dang good. Very well done, low price and look like September teal. Happy buyer, highly recommend
Mark Steffen I agree. excellent looking Decoys. I bought six for $30 and that included shipping
Fishing this morning & saw 2 flocks of Blue Wing! Can’t wait 😎🤯🦆
What state
We were hog hunting yesterday and saw 3 different flights. Man. It’s happening!!!
I’ve never been duck hunting before seems fun!!
Teal hunting is especially fun. They’re plentiful, decoy easy, and great table fare (even if they are a bit small).
I'm not a duck hunter but hey, I learned a lot from Mr John Godwin just in this short video.

When you say put jerk rig on the lead edge for big ducks. What u mean? Up wind in your spread?
Great tips for duck hunters. I hope they appreciate this!
Seems like the man's genuine got a good heart. even teaching us how to attract ducks to kill he makes it sound so loving and kind lol

Great video can't wait till opening day of teal season

Always wondered why my waders were so wide up top. Fried crappie... It all makes sense now. Thanks Godwin!
I love the how to ones. What sort of pattern to spread them out in, in different situations, is where I need help the most.

Can’t wait for teal season, almost time!
Godwin. You're the man

Lmao that lil dance at the end shaking like that but up 😂😂
I like the higdon pulsator, they work good
We Usually have a long pole for the mojo
So much interesting info & fantastic humor! I'll be thinking of you in the duck blind as the ducks fly past New York! Joan Mark from Upstate, NY!
Teal opened in Tennessee today none on Reelfoot Lake yet
Awesome advice!! Thank you so much. Gonna try to do some teal hunting for The first time here in southern Arkansas.
He is 100% right by letting them work.
Great tips and I’m ready for some teal hunting videos
I love Godwin he is so funny and badass
What's your opinion on using something like a pulsator by higdon or something similar?
Went scout a little on Mermentau River on Monday. Water is tremble smelling has dead fish all over. Hurricane really messed us up for teal season. I do hear good reports from the rice fields. BUt who can afford that.
Never ever duck hunted , but it looks fun. Trying to learn
Good stuff. Absolutely CLAPPED that bird at 4:54
Good job John appreciate the video!
Awesome 👍👍
Godwin you crack me up.
John - Let them work
Public duck hunting enters the chat
Duck commander, the leaders in waterswatting
Godwin the renascence man of teal.
What waders are you wearing?
I learned a lot. Thanks!
Awesome video. Keep up the great work
Wish we had more teal than we do here in WV. We are not allowed to shoot them here, but the juices are flowing for hunting BAD by early September and we have to settle for geese!
I mix up my decoys. The biggest farthest away, downsizing with the smallest within dropping distance from my shooting spot.
Are this decoy’s Avian X?
Great information like always!
thanks Godwin
nice video. i luv hunting
Easiest way to keep a jerk rig easy to deploy, use, and pack up: buy a cheap baitcast reel and spool it with 80lb test powerpro braided line
Are yall teal hunting north louisiana much?
Godwin the duck hunting in middleTennessee is lousy. All but given up finding a place to hunt. Good to see Teal in your area. Cut em.
Good Job
Godwin do your 18 wheeler sound
What would you tell someone that is just starting into duck hunting?
Your so knowledgeable 🙌💥
JO IN VT 💕😄
The Teal mojo was trying to dive on you .
Add some mallards to the spread?
Man said if you let the teal work they come in😂 my teal said “ oh more ducks bomb plane activated”
Hopefully I have water for teal don't look like it though
Is there no concern for alligators while wading?
🙏
No electronics in Washington state
I want to duck hunt with you

It's on like donkey Kong
John, you know how you can tell you should cut back on the food? Your waders have a zipper in the front! Haha Potlicker Jase shooting them off the water!

Every other duck will light into a decoy spread too.
Yall ever kill a gwt during early teal season? All I ever killed in the handful of season that I got to hunt were bwt.
Let em work isn't a thing out in public, because 9/10 if we have ducks working us there's some working other groups and the first person to shoot will scatter every single duck in that area. So here in public we shoot when we can 🤣🤣
Godwin what deodorant do you use during duck season big boys need special duck deodorant or what??
Dood set up
Hmm didn't he say 3 weeks out before it opens. Lot of shots, no respect for poachers
The chronic wasting ad is pathetic
