2011 Duck Season Begins

With much anticipation building, the beginning of the season arrived Saturday.  The rest of the gang was unable to hunt, so Will, Martin and Will's brother, Luke decided to hunt the James River.  With it being fairly early in the migration, several dozen ducks were spotted, but very few geese.  Mostly mallards and one decent group of teal. The "first light flurry" surprisingly did not exist.  One mallard drake worked right into the middle of the spread just after first light and the other sat down upriver to finally flutter into range.  The one woodie drake was killed late in the morning, flying alone.  We would love to hear your hunting reports throughout the season.  Send hunting reports to thegarhole@gmail.com. Good luck!
