At the Sat morning check-in it was announced that a blind was closed so they could test the water. A hunters dog did die but apparently couldn't identify a cause of death so to be sure they wanted to rule out the water.
In case there was any doubt lack of water was the main issue at Wister this year for lack of ducks. From the DFG website, here's the Duck avg per year on the opener at Wister:
2006 -- 3.97
2007 -- 3.52
2008 -- 3.22
2009 through 2013 -- N/A
2014 -- 5.00
2015 -- 5.51
2016 -- 5.4
2017 -- 6.0
2018...
Only issue I had with them was going through the Border check just north of Wister with a Canada Goose in the back. I told them the Canadian didn't have papers. :cool:
The teal were all over San Jac because it had water in Sept. Few teal at Wister because there was no water at Wister in Sept. Just sayin'
Great job Steve.
