    Don’t you know this is a college football and political forum.

    Killed a few. Mostly teal.

    Saw a few wood ducks and was able to get two close enough for a shot. Had a misfire on one and just whiffed on another. Saw a small flock of teal. Was fun and they were roaring at the River and impoundments this morning. About what I expected. Need the smartweed to die to get some more water surface.

    Shot at 2 killed none. Definitely should have killed one. Saw 3-4 other trucks in area. Decent amount of shooting going on around me.

    Saw some, few witting range. shot poorly. Should've hit up some traps in off season. Weather was right though. Nice to be out first split and not sweat.

    Poor shooting to start, but we got our limit of woodies. Turned out to be great opener

    Killed my 3 yesterday and carried my brother in law this morning and shot a quick 2 man limit of wood ducks. Probably had 40-50 ducks in the decoys this morning. Had a big flock of teal decoy when we were packing up.

    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    Hunted Bear Island East Saturday. We were told to wade out and find some open water after walking through 50 yards of brush. Shot at some passing ducks as none wanted to land in our area. It was as if there was no pre-season scouting. My past experiences at Bear Island have been very positive. I was very surprised.

    I see a fair amount of Texas tags around here (summerville). It's transplants that havent switched registration and/or military folks is my guess.

    left in time to make my kids game. 40 min to leave the landing from hitting land. game wardens who couldn't id the ducks, youngsters that couldn't trailer their boat, impatient people blocking the flow of traffic. barely made it to game.
