Sunday is to be sunny with a stout north wind which usually means good things for us. We will see.
I will post pics of the opening weekend.

I'm not sure how accurate your weather forecasters are, but I find the forecasts useless that many days out. Maybe you'll have ideal conditions both days.

Good luck on the hunt and I'm looking forward to the pics!

3 mallards and a beautiful drake wood duck this morning. Didn't have hardly any ducks look at me, but it was as close to green timber as you can get round here. Watching them drop down among the cottonwoods was nice.

I agree, but they won't be far off. We will be on the back side of a cold front for sure with the temps dropping through the day. I'm sure we will have cloudy conditions and strong NW winds which again is not ideal conditions for timber. I'm still looking for Sunday morning to be a jam up day. Looks like 25ish for the low Saturday night.

I will be on call, but will try to go if at all possible. Everything is in place and we are sitting on ready.

RCC, you should be dipping a crappie jig in front of that blind!

So far, GrnTmbrHntr and RCC are hunting this weekend. I have 2 long weeks to wait. Anyone else hunting this weekend?

Going to Buggs (Kerr lake) for a Crappie.com Bash. Hoping the weather holds, might go duckin' Monday and thanksgiving morning I'm gonna try to coax a turkey into scattergun range.

Good luck to all who is hunting this weekend.

Hunted today. Shot 8 ducks and 3 geese between my brother and myself. Should've limited on ducks and had several more geese. 3"3s aren't ideal for large canadas even if they are at 10 yards. I'll see if he'll email me the pics.
