Each year, Teller offers duck hunting to volunteer hunters. The hunts take place in established hunting blinds that require annual maintenance including new camouflage netting, cattail cutting and structural repairs. This fun day in the field also gives volunteers a better understanding of the various blind locations.

In the news
Report
As the first cold snap hit the valley floor with over a foot of snow falling in the Bitterroot in late October, several other of nature's seasonal indicators were also occurring. Yellow, orange, and red leaves were falling to the ground. Snow geese could be heard migrating, and here at Teller, the arrival of tundra swans signaled that the fall bird migration was well underway.
