Opening Day of Waterfowl Season has come and gone with mixed reports. Most people we spoke with are reporting more ducks than recent opening days, but not a lot of success. The birds were very cautious of decoys and almost call shy. The bluebird day that we had could have been part of the cause of that. It is very early in the season to see the birds this cautious. We will keep an eye on this as the season progresses.
Our opening day was spent in a swamp along a river. Just after legal shooting time, ducks could be spotted most directions. As normal for Georgia, most of the ducks seen today were wood ducks. Ninety minutes into the season, wood ducks were still flying. We had a very fun and exciting morning and appreciated the invitation to this area.
