I was up there in late March, snow was off, would have burnt fine then and probably would be good nesting cover by now. Would have been a safer more controlled burn with less risk of spreading then too given the current moderate drought conditions. Haymaker is correct, better options were...

Shovelers and Pintails!! Looks like maybe some Bluebills out in the middle too.

Awesome, awesome awesome, I just returned from an ice fishing trip in the prairie pothole region of North Dakota. Every sportsman should spent some time in the prairie pothole region during the first big melting warm up, the waterfowl spectacle is amazing, the pictures are beautiful but the...

Good looking Brit George, congratulations!!!!!

I don't see Ducks Unlimited as part of this coalition initiative, I'm surprised by that.

Had a nice mixed bag day in North Dakota December 2008, myself, my 2 Labs, 2 Roosters, 2 Sharptails and 2 Huns.

Pheasant hunting will always be cyclical dependent on winter weather, spring hatch weather, commodity prices, politics and the resulting Farm Bill. Thankfully it sounds like SD will have plentiful birds this year, ND should have enough. There are a great many folks public and private working...

Landman, your right on, I ran the labs in the fields this morning as it was finally cool enough, they were bouncing off the walls when I put the chaps on. They ran into one family group of pheasants and were wild eyed with excitement at the flush. We've been working all summer on drills and...
