Good luck to all who head out tomorrow
Good luck to those out there today!
It was super foggy on the way in to work so I hope y'all can see the birds.
I lost the will to battle the heat, skeeters and 50 boats on the small local lakes during the early season. Second year in a row I have not gone and don't even wish I had

We found three spots with mallards Saturday and hunted the spot that had the most showing during scouting. Well, all three were holding no ducks this morning. We did get burnt twice by two single hen mallards, but as another said, they caught us zoning as we sat there wondering where in the hell we went wrong. The lake we were on had SO much boat pressure tween fisherman and whatnot over the weekend that I believe they pushed all the ducks we saw deep in the woods and creeks, and had 'em scattered. I've been doing this a long time so a bad day is just another day and we carry on from here. Licking our wounds but we carry on.
Yes the fog was bad but can't blame our lackings on it. We were the only group out where we were so can't use that excuse either. I do believe that the ever increasing hunting pressure over the entire region has altered hunting permanently. It's nothing like it used to be and like I've said, I've been doing this a long time.Worst October opener we've ever had. The fog killed the morning hunt. If not for the fog we would've had probably 6 mallards but still nothing out of this world. Wound up with 1 goose. Will not be going again this week. Hunting pressure gets worse every year. Way too many people hunting today and way too few ducks to go around. Back to the deer woods for me.
Hope lucks in your favor while you're out there.I'm sitting in the blind now hoping some birds show for a few chances in the afternoon will see how it goes
