Thread: Opening 2022

My first season on F&G administered land. Seems it all happens in the first few hours of opening season then not too much going on. Is that about right?

Yes, which is why you cannot buy "day licences" until after the first week or month (I can remember which) of the season.
Most duckshooters seem to be "opening morning or opening weekend" only shooters.

It’s all area dependent, opening weekend just means start of the season, birds are generally less weary to hunters having not been shot at in ages, more chance of other hunters in your area keeping birds moving during the day but nothing is guaranteed.

Sure, hunting is hunting. Anything can happen and it did this evening. Quick detour to the maimai on the way to work and got these two at last light. Stoked!
