And why not? It shoots flatter, has lighter recoil, cuts through the wind better and is just flat out more accurate than its predecessor, the venerable .308.

Michigan early teal hunting season begins Sept. 1

Michigan is in its fourth year of an experimental early teal hunting season; this year, that season runs Sept. 1-10, 2017. These small ducks, especially blue-winged teal, are some of the earliest duck species to migrate each fall.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service granted Michigan the opportunity for an additional year of experimental teal hunting. Michigan met the criteria for allowable non-target attempts and harvest and passed the experiment. The decision to operationalize the teal season was made in June 2017, and Michigan will have the opportunity for a regularly occurring early teal hunting season beginning in 2018. Read more
