Eurasian Teal
About eurasian teal hunting
The teal is Norway's smallest duck and popular among waterfowl hunters. It flushes fast and unpredictably, making it a challenging target.
Hunting is done as stand hunting at ponds and wetlands, often combined with other duck hunting. Teal often fly in small flocks and can come in quickly and low.
They are particularly active at dusk and can appear without warning. Good scouting of local ponds and pools is what determines whether you find the right stand.
