Had 15 down an hour after sunrise. It was a pretty good day. Hoping for the same tomorrow.

Slow for the first hour but three of us were all limited out by 9:00. New 16ga AYA SXS was a bunch of fun to shoot.

Unusually slow here. Half as much shooting as normal opener. My usual field was off limits due to flood damage, and it is right on a river. Field hunted was a stretch from water. Pretty good back up field normally, but I think the heat had them hugging water pretty close...

Going up to Idaho tomorrow to visit family. Hope for better results in the old stomping grounds...

Had a good morning in Central Texas. A "few" misses with a new to me 1960 Sweet 16.

one of the worst opening day i have had in a TWRA field . 6.5 hours of baking in the Sun and only had two doves out of range fly over. Maybe better next time.
A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

Not many birds here in N. Tx today. Got a few. Got to finally try out my new Benelli Monafeltro II 20 gauge. Absolutely Love It!!! It's so light and swings like a breeze. No recoil at all with the Winchester AA Super Target 1 ounce load.

Another limit this morning, all before the really big flights came in to drink. It was cool watching them all come in, even though I was already done shooting. I could have burned up a shotgun trying to keep them out of the tank.

8 yesterday evening between the wife and I. Probably didn't see 25 total, pretty poor for a SW OK opener, had some real barrel melters over the years.
Going to look for greener pastures this evening, hopefully get a little better shoot in. Picked a gallon of okra in the garden this morning so we'll have a heck of a feed if we can scratch together some more birds to go with it.

Limited out this evening, my shooting partner took only 2. Wondering about his ammo. He usually does much better than that.
