I'm Bringing plenty of scouting time, the best camo I can get my hands on and a new awesome blind I just finished building last week and oh, the most important thing, my 14 yr old daughter for her first year of duck hunting with her own gun. She chose a Charles daly semi auto 20 ga. We don't shoot alot of ducks on the opener but we'll have a great time. Come late season that will all change. We can't wait.

on the cushion - legally, no. not for a canoe. practically? its a good idea - plus if you wanna sit or take a nap its nice smile

I'd add a paddle if you're in a motorized boat. And for this weekend... RAIN gear!

I'd add positive mental attitude, AND common sense. Lets not go nuts and skybust anything that comes near the dekes just because we're anxious and trigger happy smile

And lets all get along, we all know opener is a zoo

Thermos of coffee, snicker bars and some swisher sweet wood tips. Some dry clothes back in the truck for afterwards.

You may also want to have a timepiece to let you know when it's legal shooting. Relying on others could get you in trouble,

I'd add:

watch

couple large bandanas

light gloves

small pocket LED flashlight-a good one

cellphone wrapped in sealed baggie

quality, sharp pocket knife for field gutting etc.

hard candy

duck strap

a charitable attitude toward other's enjoying the same wonderful sport.

You need a throw cushion in any boat 16' long, doesn't matter if its canoe or otherwise. Under 16 no cushions. Also throw cushions don't count as life preservers anymore.

Good list guys. I was busy putting all this stuff together the last couple nights. Been two years since I made the opener but we are going tomorrow!
