This eagerly anticipated event in the WGAA calendar is always popular
with members. With only two weeks until the annual duck opening season this
WGAA event is ideally placed to help polish member’s gundog’s retrieving
skills. Many thanks to the landowners and all the helpers who set up realistic
retrieves for the real thing in two weeks. This WGAA event slots in neatly with
sustainable hunting as promoted in the Game Management Authority’s manual – Game Hunting in Victoria. Duck opening
has always been a red-letter day for duck hunters. Heralding the start of the 3-month
season, it has over the decades been seen as the spiritual commencement of the
hunter’s year. Many an old, seen it all duck hunter, was introduced to hunting
by his father or grandfather at duck opening, and over the years it has become
one of the great Australian outdoor traditions.
