for us anyway.!
Had a feild scouted up and secured earlier in the week that was full of geese and a few ducks. 2 days before the opener got a phone call that some friends of the family would like to hunt it opening day but we could hunt it after.
Sweet.....
Since most of other feilds had corn stll standing we opted to skip opening day and hopefully the birds would get pushed around abit and end up on one of other feilds and we would hunt either today or tomorrow..
Well i got up early yesterday to scout, and drove by the feild full of geese. NO ONE HUNTED IT. so i pop by to speak with the farmer and he said, well if they didnt show up, too bad for them, have at er.
So we hunted this morning, expecting lots of geese(mix of lessers, honkers, specs and 2 snows) and maybe the odd shot at a duck. Well we had our limit of ducks by 7:30. Literally ducks EVERYWHERE. When the geese started flying the fog rolled in real thick. that coupled with 0 wind and 100 lessers that would just not committ but circle and circle (i know hard to believe:evil:) left the geese landing all over the feild. We ended up with very few geese in range(and shot poorly) and downed 3 honkers.

Corn coming off everywhere over the last day or 2. should be a good week!
