Reply With QuoteI am hunting both days. Also putting up a pallet blind on a pond. Brother just got permission on another pond as well. Then got a bunch of public hunting marshes within 5 minutes of the house.

I've got a few a few weekends to wait still before I can post a report this year. In the meantime, it is fun hearing about your guy's hunts. Please keep 'em coming.

I'm going to hit some beaver ponds... Plenty of woodducks working them pretty hard. Tomm is opener of the second split here in Va I'm stoked, went speckled trout and striper fishing last night between the two of us we probably caught 26-28 stripers on gulp and saltwater assassins, only problem was all but two were 17-17.5" and 18 is the min. For keepers in va. My friend caught a nice trout, only one for the night. Was citation size, here is a pic the two stripers were 19 & 20" the trout was definitely a nice specimen.

The ones I hunt the most are a 2 mile drive from the house. Taking my 3 yr old daughter out tonight. Hoping to get a shot at a few.

Saturday took my 3 yr old out. I knew we wouldn't be able to work birds that came in from up high. Wind was 30 out of the south. Walked in quite a distance. Ended with 2 redheads, 1 drake bluebill (a first in nearly 20 years), 2 drake ringnecks, and a gwt. One of the ringers dove and never resurfaced.
Sunday was with my brother and a West wind gusting to 45 mph. Birds were spooky and we each shot a drake mallard.

I like your style..walk in hunt, with your 3y/o daughter, and put birds in your hand.

This coming Saturday (November 23) will be opening day here in Arkansas. I see we are in for rain and wind for Saturday, not usually a good combination for a hunt in timber, but with the ducks not being harassed, we might make something happen. 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.
