Duck shooting season began with a less of a bang than normal over the weekend.
Hawke's Bay Fish & Game regional manager Jesse Friedlander said the clear, calm and dry conditions made hunting challenging, but some hunters still managed to bag a few birds.
People had to "be a bit more innovative" with those who usually hunt at dams turning to rivers as they had dried up.
