Intro to this species—landscapes, strategies, costs, and comforts.
Summary
The Blue-Winged Teal (Anas discors) is a small, vibrant dabbling duck known for its distinctive features, including a strikingly patterned plumage with a rich chestnut-brown head and immaculate gray body, accented by a characteristic blue patch on its wings and striking white crescent above its bill. Found primarily in shallow wetlands and marshes across North America during the breeding season, this agile bird is highly sought after by waterfowl hunters for its swift flight and responsive behavior to decoys. Hunters targeting Blue-Winged Teal should focus on early morning or late afternoon peaks, employing strategies that include calling techniques and the use of well-placed decoys to enhance attraction. Due to their smaller stature and rapid flight patterns, effective shooting skills and familiarity with their feeding habits are essential for a successful hunt.
Blue-winged teal hunts typically run from early October through January, taking place on managed marshes, impoundments, and flooded fields where shallow water and planted natural foods (wild rice, smartweed, duckweed) attract migrating flocks. Guided in small groups—often three to five hunters per blind—these packages include experienced guides, concealed pit or blind setups, realistic decoy spreads, and all necessary calls and gear. Morning sessions deliver fast, close-range shooting as teal bustle in and out of feeding areas. Most outfits handle scouting, field dressing, and bird retrieval, and offer single-day or multi-day options to match regulations and hunter preference.
Blue-winged teal hunts are most often conducted as day hunts, so no overnight housing or sleeping arrangements are required. For outfitters that include an overnight option, hunters stay in climate-controlled lodges with comfortable beds and modern heating and cooling systems. Day-only programs meet at a central staging point each morning, eliminating the need for tents, cots, or additional temperature control in the field.
We think these three hunts should be at the top of your list.

High-Quality Duck Hunting in New Jersey
Our fresh water impoundments have the two ingredients essential for great puddle duck hunting- shallow water and a variety of natural foods.These impoundments provide ducks with high quality natural foods-wild rice, duck weed, smart weed and duck celery. These impoundments are 60-100 acres which means there is plenty of food throughout the gunning season. We also plant some wild rice each spring. These large impoundments are also big enough for birds to loaf on all day long without being disturbed. Also our impoundments are far apart which means we are hunting different bunches of birds to help keep our hunting consistently good.
We like to use hand -carved cork decoys along with GHG decoys because of their realism and larger size. Most of the birds we are hunting travel in small bunches so 2-3 dozen decoys is plenty along with a few mojos when conditions dictate.
We take a large variety of puddle ducks over the course of the season on these large impoundments. In the early season, (Oct -Nov) we mainly take smaller ducks- blue-wing teal, green-wing teal, wood ducks and mallards. In the late season, (Nov-Dec) we take a larger ducks and variety- a few straggler teal and wood ducks but mainly mallards and gadwall and some days pintail, widgeon and shovelers. We also take some Canada geese when conditions are right.

Blue-Winged Teal FAQs
What you need to know before you book:
How does hunting blue-winged teal compare to other waterfowl species?
Blue-winged teal hunts are typically faster and more intimate than hunts for larger ducks. Teal often work shallow-water impoundments in tight flocks, delivering quick, close-range shooting opportunities. Compared with mallards or wood ducks, teal tend to respond aggressively to calls and decoys, making for a high-action morning session.
What time of year is best for hunting blue-winged teal?
The prime season for blue-winged teal runs from early October through January. Early October often delivers the highest concentrations, as migrating flocks arrive on managed marshes and flooded fields. Mid-season and late-season hunts can also be productive, especially where natural foods remain available.
Are blue-winged teal hunts conducted more on public or private land?
Most guided teal hunts take place on privately managed wetlands—impoundments, flooded crop fields, and leased marshes—where habitat can be fine-tuned for consistent bird movement. Some outfitters also secure permission on public waterfowl refuges, but private lands offer greater control over decoy spreads, blind placement, and field access.

Central Texas Duck Hunt - All Inclusive - 2 Days / 2 Nights
It's hard to beat the excitement of a fun filled action packed brisk morning of Texas duck hunting. Most avid water Fowler's know that a good duck hunt depends on the alignment of several elements. Weather being one of the biggest variables that can determine the success of the hunt. Unfortunately we can not control the weather. But the availability of food and water to attract and hold migrating and wintering ducks are two very important elements that we do have control over. With the attraction of the water and food, knowledgeable and experience guides, comfortable and concealing blinds, well trained retrieving dogs any hunt could be a true mixed bag.

High-Quality Duck Hunting in New Jersey
Our fresh water impoundments have the two ingredients essential for great puddle duck hunting- shallow water and a variety of natural foods.These impoundments provide ducks with high quality natural foods-wild rice, duck weed, smart weed and duck celery. These impoundments are 60-100 acres which means there is plenty of food throughout the gunning season. We also plant some wild rice each spring. These large impoundments are also big enough for birds to loaf on all day long without being disturbed. Also our impoundments are far apart which means we are hunting different bunches of birds to help keep our hunting consistently good.
We like to use hand -carved cork decoys along with GHG decoys because of their realism and larger size. Most of the birds we are hunting travel in small bunches so 2-3 dozen decoys is plenty along with a few mojos when conditions dictate.
We take a large variety of puddle ducks over the course of the season on these large impoundments. In the early season, (Oct -Nov) we mainly take smaller ducks- blue-wing teal, green-wing teal, wood ducks and mallards. In the late season, (Nov-Dec) we take a larger ducks and variety- a few straggler teal and wood ducks but mainly mallards and gadwall and some days pintail, widgeon and shovelers. We also take some Canada geese when conditions are right.
