Minnesota Duck Hunters See Opening Day Success
Opening day in Minnesota saw favorable hunting as 95 percent of ducks were bluewing and greenwing teal. A five hunter group from Rochester and Minneapolis reported limits before 3 30 p.m. at Wildcat Landing. DNR officials cited noon openings to protect feeding and roosting ducks and noted lighter pressure than years with Saturday starts.
