Mostly Cloudy, No Precipitation – 60-65 Degrees
Saturday started out slow but we finally got into a bunch of Chukar, one covey was over 100, I got a triple but lost one of em in the creek bottom. Over all it was a fun time but after running up and down hills for two days I remember why I like duck hunting so much. Friday I will hit GH and Saturday I’ll be shooting Quail, I might even go goose hunting in the afternoon. Can we get some reports on the opener for GH or did everyone skip it like me.

Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – Over 70 Degrees
The Youth Hunt was fun, we got a late start but managed to squeeze in amongst two other parties. The action was good for the first hour, then it quickly dropped off.
I thought it went well considering there just isnt alot of places to hunt ducks any more and GH looked to be about 1/3 full and thats generous.
Like I posted befor my son connected with four birds, one being his first Bull Sprig, that was cool and a great shot too. He had a few come into the dekes but he missed all the easy shots and made all of the passing shots. Most of the birds were GWT. it looked like the majority of kids were done by 9AM, some kids north of us were some shooting fools they limited out and even took a goose, I think they were picking up decoys by 8AM. I know their dad was quite the proud papa, those kids made some really good shots.
My son had a good time and made some great shots too, infact all of his birds were from some pretty spectacular shooting, one GWT almost landed at our feet. I am going to have to get in some practice, this might be the year he out shoots the old man.
I have to commend all of the hunters and their fathers for being accommodating and good sportsmen, it was a bit crouded but everyone got along and as far as I know there were no serious injuries or incidents. I took a few pellets to the shoulder and neck but nothing penetrated and after we yelled out our objections to the direction and angle of fire, corrections were made and we were never accosted by shot again.
I hope the opener is just as fun and safe, it will be for me I’ll be in the uplands chasing Chukar, Quail and Huns.

I hunt dove north of Reno and around Winemucca, this year I didnt have alot of time to travel for dove. I have a great private spot 30 min from my driveway so when the birds didnt show up I spent the time getting ready for the up comming season.
My son will be shooting ducks in three days, I think I’m more excited than he is. I will call you soon, If your looking for some info on duck hunting up here you should check out Walker Lake, I hear that it is holding good numbers of birds and alot of divers, I am planning on at least one hunt there this season, I hear you can hunt Harlequin and other sea ducks late in the season, it dont make sense to me why sea ducks would venture this far inland but what the heck, it might be worth it. You cant find em if you dont get out and look for em.LOL
