Minnesota Waterfowl Hunting

anyone here think they can get 6 hen spoonies on opener?

No. I've have yet to drop one spoonie on opener, not going to try for a full bag of them.

I'm up for a challenge...

My spots always seem to be better late season spoony spots. Too many teal still around. They fly so fast I can never Identify them until they're dead in hand.

can't id teal or can't id spoonies or sarcasm?

sarcasm. shoot teal and forget to hold off for spoonies.

I have shot ducks and didn't know what they were for sure when they were lying in the bottom of the boat. Blue bill, ring bill, no clue the difference even in hand. Also what can work against a ninja is the strategy of not picking up any ducks until you are done shooting for the day. That way you don't mess up your hide getting in and out. Now that there is a secret of the pros.

My best spoonbill hunts are always just before freeze up, and it is almost all hens. I don't shoot many before then.

Only ever shot one in MN and that was 11 years ago, don't see a ton in my particular area.

the ultimate royal flush bag would be six hen spoonies. all with sarcocysts. coyote snacks
