Season starts well

For most of the hunters who braved the elements on Saturday on the Lake Ellesmere day was productive with a number of limit bags (25 mallard ducks) or very good bags reported to Fish and Game Rangers checking hunter compliance on the day. For unlucky few though, birds were elusive.  In all this was one of the better opening weekends we had in years with strong southerly winds moving birds around and obscuring imperfections of decoy spreads giving them lifelike movement.

Some good bags were had on ponds around the region as well.  With no reported injuries it was a successful start of yet another promising season
