Good Start For The Season! Waterfowlers Wayne Mize of Sterling, Steve Tanner of Nikiski and the Klondike Kid show off their results on opening morning of "duck" season in Alaska. You might say it definitely started off with a bang. And conditions were near perfect with 30 knot winds and driving rain for much of the day....a waterfowler's dream come true. The group flew into a remote location to focus primarily on geese and sandhill cranes if the opportunity and conditions presented themselves. And sure enough, it all came together before 10 am with this nice "stringer" of whitefront geese, widgeon and a mallard to show for the effort. The afternoon hunt provided few chances at geese but the ducks were numerous and Wayne and Steve bagged the ultimate waterfowler's trophy, a sandhill crane each. Now there is some of the best wildfowl eating you can get. Photo Courtesy: Alaska Outdoor Journal
