Duck numbers way down

4 man limit by 8, south of Kaplan. Mostly green wings. There were a lot of bad reports at Suirs.

of the 13 teal we killed......10 were BW.

Also, I did not see a lot of teal but the ones I saw were mostly BW.

Same for us in GC. 18 birds, 4 greys, 3 gw, rest bw. Hope this front doesnt push out the bw, they were the majority of our bag.

We also killed about 40% blue wings, even if they don't move south they will have plenty of real estate options.

The best opening we have had in years. Saw big flocks of birds all morning long. Lots of pintail, grays, mottles ,and teal. got our 3 mottles early and could have killed 20. had flocks of 50 to 100 teal coming in and out of the decoys all morning. Yes I do like the early season and if we wouldn't have had 10"of rain in 2 weekends I think everyone would have had ducks

I hunt just south of Klondike in the marsh. Saw majority blue wings this morning. Have hunted same blind for 7 years now right next to white lake. Weak numbers of everything but teal. First opener I haven't killed a mallard, and first opener ever our club hasn't killed one as a whole.

SW LA as a whole was well below average, and if it weren't for BW teal, it would have been even worse.

I am in the marsh too and been there for 14 yrs. A lot of our birds where coming from the east south east and from the north. I saw a lot more greenwings than bluewings

I agree. High water is what screwed us. Hell of a hunt Capt

That's strange that we are in the same area and you saw mainly blue wings. Again today, we shot mostly green wings. Had our 4 man limit at 7:10. I was surprised by 2 things: 1, we finished earlier than yesterday and 2 I used exactly half the shells I used yesterday. Ha
