Early Season Teal hunt at C.E. Farms / Video

Teal opener with Matt Key and Chad Fisk

Early season teal limit from opening day

As dawn broke during the opening day of early teal season, I found myself in the duck blind with other waterfowling enthusiasts. We were in the middle of a 20-acre impoundment run by C.E. Farms which is located on Edisto Island, right in the heart of the ACE Basin flyway. Chad Fisk is the huntmaster who planted the food for the ducks, and scouted them for his duck club members all the way up to opening day. Shooting hours are abbreviated during early-teal season with no shooting before sunrise (and not 30 minutes before sunrise) which gave us plenty of time to watch the blue-winged teal buzz around as the sunlight struck the marsh. While taking a minute to video this activity, I recorded evidence that while a hunter may seek a 4-teal daily bag limit, there is really NO LIMIT to the bounty of natural resources in the coastal Lowcountry. When it came time for the guns fire, we enjoyed terrific wingshooting and both youth hunters and veteran hunters earned their bag limit. With early teal season lasting until the end of September, Fisk is still offering memberships to hunt ducks, doves, quail and more at C.E. Farms. Furthermore, Fisk has partnered with the founders of Oysta-flage to promote this new coastal camo. For further information visit the Internet at C.E. Farms / Tideline Outfitters.
