Had a pretty good hunt this morning. Had 2 groups out. My group of 4 bagged 5 (4 ring necks & 1 bufflehead), lost 6 (still pissed about 2 of them, just couldn't find them and I know for sure I killed one of them, others went under and didn't come back up). Other group of 4 bagged 6 ducks (2 widgeon, a drake mallard, 2 ring necks & a drake wood duck). Lots of ducks working, probably more action then I have ever seen on opening day.

Should've had more but we were all rusty shots. We always say we will shoot some clays before the season but we never do. Personally I suck the 1st day as I shoot USPSA then try to remember how to shoot a shotgun.

If I didn't have a wife and kids to keep happy I would be back out with a couple of the guys for the evening hunt.

I’ll be down at the OB right after thanksgiving to see what I can do.

No one had a retriever?

Didn't need one where we were (2' - 3.5' of water) and there were 2 big gators around earlier in the week so we left the dogs at home. 4 dove and didn't come back up and 2 I have no clue where they went. I folded 1 right above me and moved to another duck (which we saw and retrieved, looked forever behind us and could not find it. I know that duck was dead, looked probably an hour for the damn thing.
