Texas Teal with Chef Jean-Paul Bourgeois | S1E01 | Duck Lore

Every September, as dove and football season are just kicking off, much of the United States has a teal-only duck season, meant to give hunters an opportunity to shoot some of the early-migrating blue-winged teal. In this episode of Duck Lore, Sean is joined by Louisiana-native Chef Jean-Paul Bourgeois, and the two of them set out to hunt teal in a coastal Texas marsh neither of them have laid eyes on. The weather turns for the worst as Hurricane Nicholas forms in the Gulf.

As a duck hunter for 20 years, it’s great to see the representation of the waterfowl community in MeatEater. And I’d watch darn near anything with Chef Burgeois. That dude is a hoot.

[devinpenfold]

Meateater coming through non surprisingly yet again. Stoked for this new series. Chef Jean Paul is great too

[SeanDers]

Probably my favorite series. Need some more duck camp dinners!!!

[aparson]

I love the Casual Retriever. He should have his own show.

[OG_Ghost]

This was my first season hunting waterfowl and I fell in love with it. Thankful for meateater dropping this series and duck camp diners to help me with my duck depression during the off-season! 🦆

[MetalBuddhaHead]

Really appreciating this year round content. Thank you Meateater!!

[mrzjohnson]

You counted that bird you couldn’t find against your limit. How nice it is to see you sticking to your ethical guns. I couldn’t argue against a man who might do otherwise, but personally I appreciate the move.

chef needs to lead and follow through more....he's 100% shooting behind them birds
when I lived on the Texas coast made a lot of hunts near Austwell, Seadrift and Port O'Connor. Lotta waterfowl down there. Killed a lot of blue and green wings on the Guadalupe WMA. Teal season weather be hot. I'd wear my old camo BDU's from the military and a pair wading shoes. Never wore them hot ass waders during teal season.

Never thought about waterfowl hunting until watching meateater and Chef Bourgeois

[willsteinback]

Love the fact Meateater is putting out more waterfowl content! Give us more Sean & JP episodes.

[Outdoorskid]

That buck in the opening narration was an old WARRIOR. Love seeing some waterfowl content from the meat eater crew.

Meat Eater is by far the best hunting, fishing, trapping and outdoor channel/show/ambassadors! Now with these new cooking shows added as well it's really great, the newest episodes of the regular show on Netflix are really great as well! It'd be cool to get a Meat Eater Ranch where people could hunt, fish, trap & even do wild life photography, then have a chance to learn how to properly field dress, treat & take care of the meat then cook it from the world class people on the show ect!

While camping in Texas we made a stop in the Davy Crockett National forest. We camped nearly 60 nights in 2021 most of which was national forest, so I wouldn't call us novice dispersed campers. I grew up hunting ducks in northeast Arkansas. We woke up at 6am on the end of a forest service road to a 17yo going sneaking on wood ducks up a creek I couldn't get over how awesome and different this was from the flooded rice fields and timber that I have grown up with. Ended up with 3 trucks of hunters parked in our camp and met them in their way out. They were like many of us that spend time in the out of doors, very well spoken and friendly. Even better yet they came out with a couple of birds. I loved hearing how guys and gals are getting done outside of what we consider to be the norm. This is a great series and can't wait to see what comes next!

[MudBuddy]

Good shoot guys. Thanks for making water fowling part of the Meateater series of hunting and fishing shows.

[gardinermg]

Hunted the coast during the back half of that hurricane with 45-50 mph winds. One of my favorite hunts ever. Got our limits and it was sporty in those winds.

[jenningsoutdoors]

As a first generation duck hunter shows like this help me learn the craft and get the confidence to take my kids out waterfowl hunting.

[thestees]

HOLD UP! first shot of the day/ season and he smokes the mojo?!?!?! ahahah now this is something i can enjoy

[Tyler_B.]

MeatEater always get it right when it comes to duck hunting videos. Waterfowlers know that duck hunting is about brotherhood and not just limits. The biggest thing most hunting shows get wrong with waterfowl videos is they focus to much on the killing aspect and not enough on the pre and post hunt and Luls on the hunt. For most of us these times are the best part of the hunt

[techie]

I've been a waterfowler since 1996 or 1997, it's so nice to see these birds getting some love from MeatEater. Maybe we will start to hear some guests from DU or Delta on the podcast too.

[DUKEisALIVE]

Nothing gets me more excited than waterfowl
