Our "Balance of the State" opener was last Saturday. Went up Thursday with a friend of mine that I introduced to this disease as he was with me at last season's opener but never got a shot all weekend due to a rare issue with his brand new Extrema. This year was different. We are officially Spoony Kings!
Not all the fields are flooded yet but I had about 60% of my water and just enough to float the decoys and make it marginally attractive to the ducks.
