Had a really great time with friends on opening day. Good weather, good friends, good dog and plenty of birds! Texas holiday in the books..

5 birds and you are already into your 2nd box of shells?

Just mess'n with ya, if I don't do it someone else will.

First time in 72 years missed opening day

Them red shells are a lot easier to find then some i ‘ve had in the past. End up spending a 1/3 of my time looking for spent shells.

Nice Bryan, I haven't had a gun out yet.

It was a dang good opening 2 days. Very wet but lots of birds.

Haha, there were birds in the bag..

But I didn’t shoot well at all but still better than everyone else. My buddy shot 2.5 boxes and killed 10 birds…lol

My crew hunted north of Cisco in some pretty country by high fence ranches. We got 16 birds opening and got flooded out yesterday afternoon and today. We cooked good food and had a lot of laughs together.

Yes. 72 degrees am of second. Shot 6 and left before gully washer. 100+ miles of white knuckles driving back to Dallas. Beat down- but great shoot, great food and friends

Hunted close to Winnie, had a great shoot! Pup got a little hot but got some good exercise!

I couldn't hunt opening day but 2 friends limited out opening morning in less than 15 min. With heavy rain forcast N of Abilene starting after Sunday midnight (Monday 12am) we decided to fill feeders at night from 8-12pm and finished just in time. Rained all night and Monday morning. Drove south to Brownwood to meet up with friends and unfortunately rain followed. Managed to hunt in rain Monday evening and 2 of us got 21 total in the rain. rained all night and still next morning with no let up so headed back to Dallas about 9am and yes white knuckle all the way and still raining through Wed early evening. no complaints as rain is welcomed. I can't go this weekend but should be another great shoot for those that can go
