Were you awakened today by the sound of gunfire?

I was. Today, Oct 18, is opening day of duck season and at precisely 30 minutes before sunrise, 6:58 am, there was a round of gunfire from at least 15 hunters in the area.
I am surrounded on three sides by marsh and a wildlife preserve that is ideal nesting area for ducks and geese. It is now 7:40 and I can identify specific hunters by the different sound and shooting pace of their guns. At least 2 likely have young kids with them as I can hear single shot 410 gauge shotguns firing. There are quite a few big bore Remingtons, 1100 or 1187, that cycle so quickly the third round is fired before the casing from the first hits the ground. There are classic pumps like the Ithaca with its regular boom pattern about 1 second apart.
I went outside about 5 minutes after it started to get the newspaper and just walked up and down the road listening to the rumbling. I like it.
Did you hear guns shots today? How do you feel about them?
