Duck numbers way down

[Deadly D]

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
