AKB,
How'd you make out? I hunt in the next valley over to the west. I didn't see or hear anything opening weekend. However, the creek running through the property I get to hunt was a raging torrent and I couldn't hear much of anything but the water.
Hope you enjoyed your visit to our area and it was productive.

Lou,
I was actually up above Fairfield on some private land so Suisun Valley instead of Napa. I had some struggle with the creeks as well, very noisy. Only a quick 2 days hunt, it got hot both days so that slowed the birds down a bit. Had good encounters both days. Had 3 jakes come in on Saturday, but they hung up at about 60 yds, I think they were worried about running into a big tom. Sunday I had a nice tom come in slow and quiet but committed. He crossed 2 fence lines and a pretty big creek to get to me. Got him in to about 40 feet and had a weapons mishap. Had a few hens nesting up in the brush on the property so there are birds in the area. Had a trail cam set up and got some pigs, deer, and turkeys regularly. Despite the heat, we had birds come in at noon on Saturday and 3:00 on Sunday. Are you in Sonoma?
