Going grocery shopping this afternoon, fill up truck, ice down the cooler with beer, etc. Leaving early Friday for the camp. Launching the boats and pirogues then setting dekes in the open water blinds. Dropping off bags of dekes to the pot hole blinds. Start drinking bloody Marys around 3:00pm then graduate to crown press then a bottle of vino for supper. Take 4 Advil with a large bottle of water before bed then wake up every 1/2 hour to look at the time and every hour to go pee until 4:30am,,,get up make a strong pot of coffee. Repeat scenario Sat. afernoon.......

Watch alot of football, play some bouree' and forget about politics and other distractions. Enjoy the fellowship of friends and family...it don't get any better!

Everyone on Salty have a great and safe opening weekend. Lookin' forward to meeting a few new faces from Salty forums also.

LOTS of ducks in SW
Got in the air for the first time yesterday; I hope to get the coastal transects and Catahoula Lake (our long-term comparable data stream) finished on Friday. NW survey is already compromised and NE is likely to be incomplete because of holidays and logistics problems.

I haven't crunched the numbers, so it is always risky to comment, but I flew the westernmost 11 lines yesterday and saw more ducks than I can remember in November. Groups of divers on some large water bodies and huge numbers of coots in some marsh locations, which is more typical of December than November. The first overwhelming concentration was near the East Cove Unit of Cameron Prairie NWR, but there were lots of ducks in the marshes in many locations. One of note is the very short transect line south of Lake Calcasieu where we might see 50-100 ducks on most surveys, but saw over 1,000 yesterday. Saw a lot of ducks in the marsh as we flew from that line over to Grand Chenier.

Saw a couple of good groups of ducks and HUGE group of geese in the ag fields NW of Gueydan. Ducks in the ag were spotty compared to the marsh.

So there you go. I have just set you up for big disappointment by giving credence to high expectations ...... at least in that part of the state. I'll be among those disappointed, I'm sure, after having a poor youth hunt on Cameron Prairie NWR and seeing few birds in the general vicinity of my lease.

Today we fly transects from White Lake east to LaFourche Parish, then to the Mississippi border and Catahoula Lake on Friday.

There ya go Duckgogetter!!!!! Tons of ducks for ya to shoot at!!!!! and me too! I'm just starting to get pumped!!!!! Look out Sat morn!:dance:

$130 later, I'm officially done and later for Saturday. Setting deeks tomorrow night, night at the camp, then hopefully shooting some birds in the face..

Only a couple blinds brushed as of this eve on the river.

Well boys as of now we have 2 hrs and 55 left until what I consider the best day of the year. I love the anticipation of working until you can find that right time to leave work, still throw out dekes with enough light and not not piss off the boss for leaving early. Hopefully have a good meal with plenty of adult beverages before a night of no sleep and checking the clock every hour. Needless to say I'm pretty pumped up to see that first flock work the new spread! Good luck to everyone and enjoy the excitement of the day before you smell the fresh good powder of a 6:04 A.M shot.

So is the Costal gunna open for duck season?
