Today was the opener for the North Carolina Season and it was ruff the winds were blowing about 25-30mph and all the ducks stayed around the houses on the lake. and the people who did get shots were mainly sky bustin but the up side i seen about 100-150 mallards

My opener in October sucked as well. Same thing that happened to you. Had 25-35 mph winds. Managed to get 2 ducks in the whole day.
