Only saw the one pic, figured I'd start a post about the opener. How'd everyone do?

We had a banner day up by Storm Lake, got invited along by a great group of guys. 8 man limit by 8 am, and a bonus woodie. Plus after over 7 years of hunting waterfowl I finally shot my first band. :61:



How did everyone else do?

Unfortunitely the flood has made regular opener pond part of the Cedar River. Friend and I managed to to still get a little shooting in on another pond.

Too much water and too few birds so far. Lots of season left.

 

[Iowa Trapper]

The cedar being 4 feet less than the 08 flood and me being in the road for work until Friday night really screwed my weekend. It can only get better from here!

My daughter got her first goose ever. It was a exciting morning. It made for one of my best opening mornings ever.

I didn't hunt...but a couple of buddies that live in the North zone hunted and got a goose egg (not literally). They tried a couple of places but the water was over their waders.

My buddy that has hunted for 20+ years, said he saw the fewest number of birds he had ever seen. He blamed it on teal season

...and too much water.

I could only hunt Saturday and I seen a good number of birds, most of them mallards. It was just one of those days, broke the mojo, set up like a idiot.... and it was hot! This week should be good.

Saturday, very few people at the marsh. Maybe because of the water depth. No problem for us tho. :61:

Flooded corn field hunt. We were surrounded by wood ducks and out of the field very quickly. Was a pretty good opener!

 

[STORMER]

Man, that chocolate can look right through you. Go ahead, grab these ducks...I dare you.

 

[Zach]

Awesome epic of the dog! He's got quite the 1000 yard stare.

That there, is a Chesapeake

 

[DuckZone]

more like, you took me hunting for these. Where's the mallards, dumb ass.

Or if you are into politics: You better vote for Trump or I'll rip your nuts off.

Love the dog. Great photo.

 

[STORMER]

sorry about the breed, hard to see from the phone.

 

[Unlucky Duck]

Classic territorial chessy pic. Love it.

My son and I got our geese. They were his first. He's been on duck and goose hunts as an observer. Got his first dove last season. As we had a group of 15 locked up I heard him in his layout "OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH!" I could feel his heart beat with every word. I think he's hooked.

 

[EntropyFx]

Haha, love it!!
