Opening Day of Duck Season 11-12

Taylor and I headed down to the duck marsh for opening day. We had pretty much everything going against us as far as the conditions were concerned. We had wind out of the south (sets up crappy for most of our blinds), falling tide, full moon, and a balmy 55 degrees. Despite the lousy conditions we managed to scrape out 5 ducks including a canvasback, which was a first for Taylor and I at our marsh. About 20 minutes after shooting time, we had a group of what we thought was about 7 ringnecks dump into the decoys and we killed 3. The last duck Dex brought us out of the three was the canvas back. Next we had a lone ringneck sneak up on us and then we had a pair of wary mallards work us and we reached out and touched the greenhead. Taylor brought Cash who started off a little shaky but ended up settling in nicely after watching Dex go and do his thing.
