Opening day for duck in S.E. Ontario

[6gm6]

So how did everybody do this morning?

I didn't see as many flying as usual. Mind you its 28 degrees here today, so the ducks may not have gotten the memo. I still managed a few mallards.

4 ducks, 0 woodcock. Sore leg muscles, the underbrush was worse than the Amazon jungle.

4 guys 4 limits of Mallards and a few nice woodies! However 28 C was not duck hunting weather, and when the dogs dig holes and lay in the shade, its not quite the same LOL! however it was a great day!

mosquitos out driving us crazy. Got 14 Ducks with a mix of woodies, mallards and teals at Galway-Cavendish near Bobcaygeon for 3 guys. Can't wait for the colder weather when the bugs die out. Half the time spent trying to swat the bugs

Not a problem ,I actually am starting to enjoy video taping when you can get the people to co-operate .In the first video you can hear the owner of the dog calling him but the previous retrieval I had praised the pup so he was coming to me for more praise much to the delight of the owner .The pup is a little over a year old and is a better retriever than other grand champions we have had out with us .

I got my first ducks ever today(sunday). A hen mallard and a hen teal. Then teal was my finest bit of wing shooting to date. Bang.....Splash!Had a great day.Also my hunting partner shot an eclipse drake which was interesting to see.

Didn't get out opening day because of work but I did go Mon. for an evening hunt. Litterly hundreds of birds coming in but most just out of range. I came away with 2 drakes and a hen. Between stupid me forgetting that I had my Imp cylinder choke in and the shi**y steel shot a couple flew off with a little less feathers. Note to self: After skeet shooting at the club during the summer remember to check your choke before hunting

Two of us with 3.5' chamber Baikal MP-153 semis, in individual blinds among decoys spread in a freshly cut cornfield, shooting a mix of 3.5' BBBs (Kent), 3' BBs (Winchester) and 3' Tungsten-Matrix Impact 3s(Kent). Bagged 7 Geese and 2 ducks. Not a bad day we had...
