Minnesota duck opener
 

Jim Beilke and my self hunted ducks in sw Minnesota this morning. The day started with a thunder storm and temps by mid day were in the 80’s, not great duck weather. My 16 sterlingworth (recognize Dudley) and jim’s 12 Trojan managed the task nicely with a mix of bismuth, itx shot, and tungsten matrix.

It was a good day Matt. Duck numbers around here sure aren't like the "old days" no matter what the Fish and Wildlife service says. Always fun to be "out there" amongst them. Thanks

I’m just below you guys in NW Iowa. Ducks open this coming Saturday. It seems there are many more big ducks around than last year. Probably due to very wet spring. We shoot most ducks incidental to goose hunting. Best of luck guys. Take ‘em!

Hope you guys have a good opener.

Jeff, I hope you are well. Still heading to Kansas for quail this year? Good shooting for your duck opener.

hope yoy boys have a good duck opener....charlie

The fox gets the game.

Another good day Matt, Good Shooting

Matt, Looks like the end of a great outing!

It was a great outing. It's not to often to shoot a limit of birds in SW MN.

We saw very, very few ducks (all Woodies) on the opener in NW Iowa. My partner got two. We did however hammer our limits of geese. Unfortunately I used some foreign contraption rather than an elegant Parker. Notwithstanding that it was a most memorable event.

Geese help fill the void with are lackluster waterfowling in MN these days.
