A spectacular sunrise signaled the opening of the waterfowl season but apparently the birds were not given the notice. Our 10 gauge Parkers were quite deadly in spite of their sparse use. Scott nailed a drake mallard that come over like a station 8 high house. This was the only duck we saw. One group of geese went over at high altitude, like a mile up, headed south. Three geese snuck up on us and caught us out of position (standing up drinking coffee). We jumped in our beds and hit the calls and they swung back. They stayed far off to the right but two hits from my NH 10 anchored the closest bird.
