How did others do this opener? I know our trip left something to be desired. Not many ducks, not much shooting (by us or others around us), and not much water. Ended up with 5 ducks and 4 geese for the weekend.
I saved the best for last. My 1 1/2 old lab, Millie, had an outstanding debut in the duck blind. She had never had a bird in her mouth and still was phenomenal. She ended up retrieving 3 ducks (one still alive) and two huge geese, which was a chore for a 52 pound lab. Luckily they were both dead. I couldn’t have been more proud. She held in the blind when I called and shot and waited until sent to retrieve the downed birds.
All in all, two fun, enjoyable days were spent in the blind and not matter what the results, I can’t wait until Friday when we go again.
