'25 waterfowl opened today. As Parker noted about his deer hunting, this was more of an armed nature walk. Went to John's River. In contrast to past years there were a few dozen ducks around, but not close. Only one flock of Cacklers, also not close. I did actually see one duck and one goose fall. Also, in contrast to the past two years I did take the safety off a couple times in anticipation but they went another way.
