I am all set and can not wait for the opener on Saturday. i just went to Walmart and picked me up an awesome new Duck Dynasty Mossy oak Wetlands pattern hoodie because it is supposed to be cold Saturday. i also got a matching ball cap and a coffee mug with Si's picture on it. I also bought a nice neon blue kayak while i was there. I got a really cool duck commander call for 5.00 from dicks and I have my cabelas dry plus waders from trout season. I got some awesome decoys from dicks. The paint is so bright the ducks should see them from miles away and come right in. I plan on getting up real early around 6 and hope to be on the water by 7am. I have been practicing with my call and I can blow it non stop for my whole hour and 20 minute commute to work. A few quick questions.......... My decoys have blue bills on them, I have never seen a blue bill on a duck at my local park pond. Should I paint these yellow? I am also wondering if anyone has a secret spot they can point me to. As of right now I think I have some great spots. I am thinking Assunpink WMA, Spruce Run or the Bog. These are great looking areas that i am sure i will have all to myself. I would like to thank Guys like Phil Robertson and the boys as well as local legends such as Deuce n Ducks, Tika, Mallard 1100. Ithica 10, and such who have prompted me to become a duck hunter. It is gonna be awesome. oh one more question....... Does anyone know where I can get some Duck Commander barrel stickers?
Can't wait for Saturday

USPS still hasn't shipped our Fed Duck Stamps, we ordered them on 9/30/2014.... they say they ship in 3-5 business days. It is useless trying to find the stamps 'on hand' at the local Post Offices, if IF they even know what I am talking about, "the guy who has them locked up in his drawer is on break (and might be back in about 3 hrs - 2 hrs after closing time BTW) or isn't in today". Anyone else have this delay?

I don't know a single waterfowler worth his salt that doesn't know where to get waterfowl stamps by now.... Only newbies and weekend Googans haven't nailed down over the years which local sports shops and or post offices do, or do not have the federal stamp...

Glad I am New Orleans for a wedding on Saturday so I don't have to deal with all the jackass bs of opening day.

When I got my stamp a few weeks ago in Aug, none of my usual POs in Bergen County (or Rockland Cty NY) had them in yet. They were all still waiting on their orders. However, I've found that in Bergen County I always have to do some calling around to my list of usual suspect before I find one who has it in stock. A good bet is usually the Post Offices designated as "Philatelic" POs. This year I ended up getting mine at the Cedar Knolls Post office in Morris County near my office... they had a bunch. (with that said, it seems every year I get a stamp from a PO that has big stack of them, and then next year they don't have any.. at least when I'm there)
Oh, and just to reiterate what Waterbird said, make sure you check the dates on the stamp. The guy at Washington Twp PO this year, said "yeah we have them" and grabbed one out the drawer, bagged it and flipped it across the counter to me. I just assumed it was the recent one... but while I was handing over my credit card, something in my mind said 'you better check'......when I looked closer it was in fact last year's stamp. Nothing nefarious or him trying to claim the stamp was current... I just asked for a stamp and he had one. The guys behind the counter don't necessarily know that they are for specific years. So always double check and don't assume.
