September Teal Hunt in Southeast Missouri
Gobler, MO
4-10 Hunters • No Lodging • Private • Guided
Description
All-Inclusive
3-day / 3-Night Hunt
Our Missouri waterfowl season starts out in early September with teal hunts. Just like the rest of our All-Inclusive hunts, our teal hunts will be a 3 day / 3 night all inclusive hunt with lodging and meals included at our Lodge.
We are located right in the heart of the migration for blue wing teal on their southward migration to Louisiana. Blue wing teal are fast flyers that commonly travel in big groups that can lead to high paced, action packed hunts. If you have never experienced a successful blue wing teal hunt it definitely needs to be high on your bucket list. With a 6 bird limit you are allowed a full strap of teal just like you would during regular duck season. We are allowed to shoot blue and green wing teal during our September season.
Teal hunts take place in flooded rice fields and shallow water impoundments scattered throughout our farms. We are fortunate enough to work with landowners and farmers to ensure water and habitat for teal as they migrate southwards to Louisiana and beyond. Ensuring the habitat teal need is what gives us an advantage for having successful teal hunts in Southeast Missouri.
All of our guides will accompanied by well trained retrievers to effectively retrieve your downed birds. Our Teal hunts can be quick and exciting with limits being filled quickly on some days. Our goal is to keep everyone safe and ensure each hunter has a memorable experience.
What to Expect?
Teal season is much more laid back hunt compared to regular duck season. We limit the number of guests in the lodge to ensure each hunter has a chance for success. We wake up with hot coffee and morning snacks before heading out to the hunting location for the day (Typically 10-20 minutes from the lodge).
Hunts run from daylight until around 10:30 a.m or the groups limit is filled. Then we will head back to the lodge where you will be served a delicious brunch you can be sure you won't want to miss. After brunch, you are more than welcome to enjoy a quiet afternoon around the lodge, shoot some clays, or follow around some of the guides as they complete their daily chores of getting ready for regular duck season.
Dinner will be something to look forward to each night. Dinners at our lodge are an experience in themselves and something our guests always seem to enjoy. Enjoy a cocktail by the fire or watch some football in the lodge before you get to wake up to do it all again the next morning.
When is the best time to come?
While the success of these hunts is always based on what Mother Nature throws us, when you hit the first cool front of the fall you can be assured there will be plenty of teal buzzing around the farms. Temps in our area can range anywhere from the high 80s to the 40s during this time of the year. This is what drives the teal migration, and the number of teal in the area can drastically change in one night.

We are nestled in the southern most corner of Southeast Missouri, bordering one of the nation’s oldest refuges, Big Lake NWR. Sitting between several major refuges on the Mississippi Flyway gives us the opportunity to see thousands of migrating waterfowl on any given day.

FAQ
Can you bring your retriever on a guided hunt?
- Yes, we do allow clients to bring their well-trained retrievers on self-guided and *guided hunts. If you are interested in bringing your retriever, please let us know beforehand because it must be cleared by our staff before your trip. It is expected that your retriever is under control at all times for their own safety.
*Guided groups must have a minimum of 4 members in order to be considered for retriever approval. This is to guarantee you are the only party hunting.*
Are waders needed to hunt your various locations?
-Because we have multiple spots, the water depth is hard to give in a concrete value. In some areas the depth is just a few inches while in others it can be up to two feet deep. We strongly encourage our self guided clients to wear waders. If you are on a guided hunt a good pair of waterproof knee-boots will be fine because our guides will provide transportation right up to the blind/pit.
What are the bag limits?
- 6 ducks per hunter
- 2 specklebelly
- 20 snow geese
- The possession limit is 3 times your daily limit.
What types of ducks are most commonly harvested in the area?
- Mallards, Gadwalls, Pintails, Divers, Green-Winged Teal, Widgeons, and Shovelers
Are ATV/UTVs needed for Self Guided Hunts?
-While they are not required, we strongly advise that you make arrangements to bring a way of transportation to and from the pits. The gumbo mud of Missouri can be challenging for even the most fit of hunters. Most clients would agree it is an absolute necessity for a smooth hunt.
Are Guided hunting parties mixed?
- While we try to keep it a last resort to mix groups, if your group has less than 4 people it is a possibility that we will combine groups. Please note that if we combine groups it is because we strongly believe we can provide the best quality hunt this way.
Do you allow young children on trips?
- Of course, all of our team sparked a love for waterfowl hunting at a young age, and we would love the opportunity to share the excitement that happens in a duck blind with your young hunters.
