Maryland, 1st split
Only hunted two days of Maryland's early duck season. I went down to Hoopers Island. With me were Dave Foote and his two buddies. We shot mallards, teal and pintail. Overall, a good time, but the shooting was slow due to poor weather conditions. Ducking is best when its windy with an overcast sky, and even some precipitation. We had wind, but it was bright and beautiful.
The blind where we shot Friday Evening:

On Saturday morning, we hunted in a creek on the Island. The tide was way out:

Also down were Brent, Karl and Rutledge. They went deer hunting and killed 3 deer, two does and big buck. Rutledge shot all three:
Next duck season starts November 11, this Saturday!
On the way home, I drove through the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge to see how many ducks were there. I saw many mallards, teal and pintail, but the real excitement came from this eagle who let me photograph him for about 15 minutes:
