Duck Opener 2007 (Fish Lake)






So I ahve been on a few opening day hunts, but I would have to say this one is right up on top. Jeremy and I decided to bring our Duck hunting gear to Fish Lake for the morning of the opener. That night it was freezing and snowy. As we woke up early the next morning it was blue skies, but freezing cold and windy. (perfect for ducks to be moving) As we approached the pond we were going to hunt we saw that it was froze except for the very top corner. We placed the decoys and waited under a pine tree. With-in mintutes we had a flock of Mallards coming right at us. Locked wings and perfect. We knocked down two and then as the morning progressed we had a constant flow of ducks coming into our little open water spot. We ended up with 5 Mallards and a jammed gun which made it hard for Jeremy to shot. It was awesome to be in the right spot right where the big ducks wanted to land.
