I would bet you hunt Baptiste it’s the only place I was aware of a few birds but I won’t hunt there anymore just way too many people it’s not worth it to me especially paddling in a pirouge.

Saturday I hunted from Venice out of a mudboat on private land only because I can’t stand the crowds opening weekend. I usually wait until Wed/Thursday to hunt the refuge from my camp on PAL. My buddy backed out of our midweek hunt a couple weeks ago and I didn’t even try to find anyone else to replace him. There’s a little grass upriver but nothing close to typical (5-10% maybe).

It’s going to be interesting to see how many birds stick around over the next few weeks with the lack of food and all the baw’s “scouting”.
