Hunted the marsh for ducks in the morning. Weather was beautiful a cool morning with plenty of sun followed by high 60's day.
We got there early to grab a spot because there are usually a lot of people there. We were in the flooded timber by 545-6ish. We have about an hour to kill before shooting time. There was a decent bit of water in there but not as much as last year. About 3 minutes to shooting time there were flocks and flocks of wood ducks flying over us and we couldn't shoot them. They were so close you could almost grab at them. I would guess there were at least 100 that flew right before shooting time. Shooting time comes and there were a lot of volley's going on. You couldn't load fast enough. I was not having a good percentage shooting day. I probably shot 20 times and maybe hit 5 or 6. It ended up being a good day with a limit of 6 ducks. 2 Wood Duck hens a hen mallard and 3 green wing teal
Not a bad opening day but I need some practice. I will be going next weekend to the same spot. Who is in?
