What an opening day! The season opener found duck hunters in the area trying to stay dry but to no avail. The skies were gloomy and wet but the ducks didn't seem to mind flying, up until the point they mad the mistake of flying past the Dozer Pile. While the three man team of Big Jim, Mike O and myself were not able to pull off a full limit of birds like our pond neighbors to the south we still had a great opening day. The first shots went off about 5 minutes into the season and a limit of mallards and a couple of blacks were on the ground within 15 minutes. the rest of the day was spent trying to get some geese in but only 4 fell from the sky. Full weekend story, especially the egret hunt, to be found at http://www.bchuntclub.blogspot.com/

sounds like a terrific hunt, Ernie. And sounds like your guns worked, unlike some of ours.
In the Double Black Blind, there were the usual moments of indecision and recrimination ("why didn't you shoot?" ... "why did you shoot?" ... "why didn't you hit it?"), but we still managed to scratch down a few and remain friends.

Jim,
Why the drive by? I saw you slow down but before I could get to the window you were already gone. Next time your in the area stop in. If were not at camp we are usualy just sitting around bs'ing. Would be nice to chew the fat wit cha!
you're right, next time I'll stop for sure. would love to hunt some dozer pile geese sometime soon, too! and if I get the camper parked up there somewheres, I may even drink some beer for a change. Hopefully this weekend.
Nice work Ernie.
