It looks like you have some really good drive and know where to look for some birds. The biggest thing that I see in your videos is that you are chasing your dogs too much and don’t get set up to shoot when the birds get up. The biggest problem I see with most shooters is they don’t get their...

I don’t think there are too many ranchers left in the regent Mott country as there used to be but yet they still have birds. Most have switched to farming. What I do believe is most left standing food plots up next to shelter belts which do save birds against snow and cold and provide food...

How many people did you have hunting the first four days

They are opening up emergency haying in a few counties in southwest North Dakota I am told but not everyone qualified.

Seeing a few more partridge than normal and that’s from multiple people.

-36 this morning without the windchill southern North Dakota

You just know when you see one. There is always one when you see it that just has it. Basically it is one that hunts all year long and is a machine. One that will follow their owner no matter what and never quit. One that can navigate any fence and figure it out. When you see a dog track a...

I am just glad the rural firefighters and farmers with disks contained it as well as they did great job on their part

You’d be surprised what would happen if you knocked on a few doors during late season. Way too many people are afraid to ask for permission thinking the answer is always going to be no. Your best time to get on land is now.

Broods are few and far between. I hate to say it but if they aren’t hatched out by now you better hope for an easy winter. I do believe that hunting will be tough this year in the beginning due to record sunflower acres. I have never seen this many in the western part of the state. If they don’t...

I agree not looking too promising

It is nice seeing the Huns make a nice comeback lately though ?

Sounds like BRITTMAN has been through this cycle a time or two. Pretty much hit the nail on the head. One thing I am seeing is that the preexisting CRP has a fair chance of reenrollment if you really want it in. The biggest benefit to pheasants is thermal cover. I know I might sound crazy but if...

Very good points on the program for the most part the only disadvantage I see is the topagraphry Iowa ground is definitely better the CRP payment is over 100 bucks an acre but in North Dakota it is considerably less where cash rent can compete with the payments considerably. I hate to be the...

There is a new CRP sign up however the new payments are less than the previous. The best soils get paid more while the worst soils that should be in CRP get paid peanuts. I would expect to see more CRP get taken out as they cannot compete with farmer rental rates.
