Fast, early and short
Teal season is nine days in September. Bluewings come through in the heat, low and fast, and they don't give you long. Mosquitoes, sweat and the first decoy spread of the year. We've been running teal hunts since our first season as an LLC.
The 2026 season is over
TPWD set the 2026 September teal season for Sept. 19 to 27, with a daily bag of 6 teal in the aggregate. The 2027 dates come out with next year's regulations. Call now and we'll put your group on the list for the first days we book.
