i would say a 7 better than last year but not as good as years past. didnt get as much scouting in and that made things tough and birds were in different areas and had some unusual shoots at a few locations, but overall a good season and was very happy to get out as much as i did.

[jgoetz]

I am going to go with 4.  It is always better to be hunting than working, but man it was slow up on the North end this year.  Besides one lights out shoot with "scottcrb" it was a season of 1 and 2 bird days.  Birds didn't show up in any great numbers until after my season had pretty much ended due to work.  Hoping for better next year.

10, not measured by quantities or trophy's but measured by quality time

I'll just put a 7 that way it gives me room for improvement.  Shot a lot of birds this season.  They weren't easy limits like the last few years, I had to put more work into this season, but still managed to do very well.  I guess the biggest change was my 9 year old passed hunters ed and he was in blind.  I would always let him shoot first and I would bat cleanup.  That added it's own challenges, but great time spent training up the upcoming waterfowler.

Big game wise it was nothing but a 10.  I harvested a nice 4x4 bull elk, dandy BT 3x3 w/ eye guards and a spring color phase chocolate colored black bear.  My 9 year harvested a great little button buck for his first deer.

Would rate it about an 8. Made it out 35 times from December 1st on and shot 20 fewer birds than last year. Lots of birds around, but the lack of water in my area really hindered the all day flying. Already looking forward to next season.

"9" Didn't set a record on geese but got more than enough. Set a new high record for ducks. Spent the time on private property which is where I want to be next year.  My dog retieved a large number of birds because I took him almost every time. Only had to hit public property a few times to get geese. Didn't have to use the boat once. Didn't go Brant hunting which I usually do, but got mallards every time out. Didn't get skunked once so I consider it an awesome year.

solid 10. Started the year with a good chukar/hun hunt and good pheasants including one eastside limit day. Bagged first banded duck and shot a double on my very first geese. good days on ducks with my first limit of ducks and first retrieves with my GSP out of a duck blind. Wow. To look back it was amazing.

[akirkland]

I gotta say 10. Killed more ducks (and pheasant for that matter) than ever before in a single season.

[crow killer]

I'd say, 8! It could've been better but the birds would come and go! Can't wait for next year

[huntnphool]

10

I would give mine an 8 as I would have liked to have had more days. Highlight would have been my 10 year old getting his second Harlie,my daughter getting her first duck and Harlie and me getting another Harlie. I am going to have all three mounted together to celebrate the season. I did also get my first redhead. Not a bad season.

[Tealer]

My duck season was a 10, lots of great hunts. Bird numbers could could have been better. The hunts were great though.

[JJD]

I'd give it an 8.  Good early season, but the smaller water froze out earlier than I Like which limit our opportunities.

3. But, it was my fault it was poor.
