This was the worst opening day I've seen. Still got some birds, but heck, with all the rain, it should have been much better than it was. I hate stupid ignorant people.

Shot 3 ducks and have now come to to the conclusion; I need to
learn how to shoot again. I should have easily had 3 or 4 more more. Oh well, it was fun to just get my kids out.

I went to Harold Crane (I think thats what it is called) just south of willard. I hunted there the last three years. The last 2 years everyone in our group (9 one year and 11 the other) all limited out easily. This year only 4 of us went and we got 5 ducks total and it wasn't cause of bad shooting. There were very few birds flying all morning. Usually for the first hour they are everywhere! It sucked! Most of the ducks split at 7 AM when the idiots started shooting. I'm pretty irritated that the DWR can't get something as important as the opening day start time right in the proclamation!! Don't they have someone proof read the proc's before printing! I'm sure everyone out there knew they shouldn't be shooting til 8 but with it in writing in the proc that it starts at 7 the ticket would never hold up in court. Too bad the idiots had to ruin it for everyone else! The rain never stopped and the w#&^ blew about 15-20 MPH all morning. Usually that is good duck weather! So basically it sucked. A lot of work for very little action!

11 birds and a goose between 3 of us for 5 hours of effort for the opener. 14 birds for 2 today. Overall not a bad way to start the duck season.
