DU_man_84 Posted October 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Re: Saturday Opener well back from the opener weekend, saturday we shot our limit, between 2 of us, 4 woodies, 6 teal,(all greenwings) and 2 mallards, and 1 goose, it was a single passing along low enough, we couldnt get geese to work they had there minds set on where they were going, in the big lake next to us, sunday was a lot different, sat night had a big storm with strong North wind, with rain, and snow, storm pushed the birds out, brought us a bunch of new geese, but not many ducks, sunday we ended up killing 2 greenwing teal, 2 bluewing teal, and 2 gadwall, we didnt see much for birds sunday besided the geese, but still a great weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
