Worst opener ever in 44 years in Venice for me.

Hunted three different places in Venice shot a combined four shells.

Thank God the fishing was good.

Mind if I ask how far south you went? I have been hearing the feed on the Refuge South of Raphael is almost non-existent. I was planning to hunt there Wed/Thursday but after what I saw closer to Venice I don’t think it is worth it.

We hunted around Venice proper Saturday am but the birds were so concentrated we had to join up groups. Hunted 8 people out of 2 mudboats bow to bow. We had really good cover but still had multiple flocks of Gray’s flair off right at the last second. I think that was the first and last time I hunt out of a 36’ plus blind down there. We ended up killing a typical Venice mixed bag of 38 but pulled the plug on hunting Sunday because the few birds we were sitting on got hammered all morning and afternoon by other groups.

Absolute clusterfrick for my crew in Venice this weekend. Didn’t get an opportunity to scout was slammed with work alll week. Ran to a spot in Baptiste that we normally smash them in and it was a ghost town. Maybe jumped 20 ducks total out of it. Went to move and my damn motor cut off and that was a wrap on hunting for the weekend blew a pump and waiting for replacement to get installed this week. Every single duck got ran out of there by opening day cuz of the amount of pressure from people “scouting” from sunup to sundown all week… Definitely the least amount of birds I’ve ever seen off Baptiste.
