We hope everyone had a great opening day! The weather was a typical opening day in Georgia, hot and sunny. A few late day storms passed through, but for the most part didn’t ruin too many hunts. With the consistent weather, birds were plentiful at most of the hunts!
Our hunt was an excellent experience. We participated in a North Georgia hunt over millet. The field provided and excellent lunch, a fair way to pick spots, and the most birds we have seen in several years.
We also had a great experience with a DNR Ranger, Ranger Elrod. He was professional, friendly, and timely. I have found it frustrating over the years when a Ranger comes to check licenses and they tie you up for 15 or more minutes while you are missing out on hunting time. They have an extremely challenging job and we all should respect that. It is so much easier to respect the jobs they are doing when they do it so efficiently.
Overall it was an outstanding opening day. There are more seasons opening over the next few weeks so if you haven’t yet, it is time to get out and start your season!!!
