    Here's how our opening weekend went. 15 mallards and 42 parries in total. Not as many as expected but still not bad either. Around 200 (mixture of both) lifted off when we arrived. And only parries come back during the day. Most birds were flying pretty high because of the lack of wind and real hard to pull in.
    We got enough to fill up some freezers

    Know that funny feeling I had that I wasn't going to school. Gut must know best cause I was down the river

    Little brother on the way down in the boat says I don't want to go all the way to your spot lets just go here, I shouldn't haven't listened. Ducks galore in my spot there a boat floated down with some shooters they went past my spot we heard about 5-6 shots go off 100's flew out, most came back and shot right back 10min later.

    We got one though, silly drake came along with 2 hens but we both nailed the drake, I was hoping he'd go for the hens cause they were next to each other but should have known he'd shoot the drake too.

    Pip got it

    I hope you gave your brother shit for that Toby.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
