In the blind bag:

* Binoculars

* Knife

I forgot to mention a coleman camp stove to cook breakfast in the morning.

Pre-mix some eggs, chopped ham and sausage for omlets or scrambled. Salt & Pepper.

Also paper plastic plates and forks.

Plenty of time to cook before the 9:00am opener!

Yep nothing better than the smell of fresh bacon to get the other hunters on the slough jealous. Not to mention that everytime you fire up the stove the birds come in

Also Make sure you have all loose Lead Shot out of your Schell box. Thats a expensive mistake.

I don't think anyone mentioned mosquito repellent. With how wet it is this opener, and how warm it's gonna be this weekend, I'm bringing a large can of Repel out there!

[Back2Dakota]

Mine is going to a real waterfowl state.
