It was opening day of the first part of waterfowl season for the South Zone Guy. Open until next Saturday, closes and then reopens November 23 and closes January 23, 2025. I wouldn't worry about wearing blaze orange unless you look or walk like a duck.

On our way down Hampton Road from 206 we crossed one of the small bridges and it was full of ducks near it and I saw them splashing as we crossed. I backed up over the bridge and they flew. However, they took off and flew in the direction of Deep Run and then we heard shooting. Yikes!
I hunted back here this morning with one of my son’s friends. I like a challenge and I usually hunt the stream. The bog is way too busy on opening day. It was a beautiful and quiet morning and while I was setting a few decoys under the moonlight, a Barred Owl was sounding off in the distance. There was still a half hour until legal shooting time so I just sat on the bank with my boots in the water and enjoyed the show.
There were a few volleys in the bog after first light and we had a flock of 6 Woodies zip by out of range.
A good enough day for me.
Haven’t been out to the July burn area in a month. Went out in late afternoon today. The guys were really out there fighting the fire still. Helicopter was very active dropping water and I saw several trucks and a plow by featherbed bridge. It’s the most dry I’ve ever seen, it’s disturbing. Friendship is nearly bone dry along with featherbed. No relief in sight…

Looking at the larger map, I'm located just South of the Severe Drought area. Makes sense, because it's dry but I'm not seeing the kind of extreme effects others have posted about.
Just wait and see what tomorrow’s map looks like. I think it will adjust more than people would think.View attachment 23607

Boyd, I think you guys got a couple more storms or some rains that missed us up this way. It seems most dry in core barrens.
Not a drop here for some time. But (drought and wildfires aside) this has been quite a run of beautiful days to be outside.
The drought area certainly has gotten larger! But I'm still right on the edge of the severe region.

Hi all took a walk today, hard to believe how dry places are.
It rained at work in Marlton. It was an exceptionally pathetic rain but it was also incredible at same time. It’s been so long since it’s rained that when it does it’s gonna be special.
