Just read the ND report. The drought has not been kind. There are pockets of birds according to the report. Not a terrible report but nothing stellar. With farmers cutting CRP because of the dry conditions......could be tough.

I just don't know ND well enough to be confident that what I tell you is gospel, mostly because the weather over the time I have lived here has not been normal/average. I hunt in an area that had birds last year. That doesn't mean the kind of bird population where 6 guys are going to get their limit 10 days in a row and take pics of birds spread across the back of a pickup.

Yesterday I killed those two birds and walked back to my truck. Partially because I am protective of my dogs when it is warm, partially because I wasn't sure how many birds are in the area and want to err on the safe side. Last year this particular area held a covey of maybe 12 to 15 birds. If it is the same this year, I may only hunt there one more time between now and the end of the season.

I have a lot more exploring to do in very non-typical weather conditions. So that means two hunting seasons of information that probably won't be very accurate.

Mark , we've seen bird pops change yr to yr right at Moo just according to whether they had many crops or not . Sometimes the surrounding farms had corn or whatever , and the water sloughs were almost immaterial ... go figure !

Nice to see Rusty somewhere other than on the crest of some mountain ridge.

canvasback,

Rusty looks great to me no matter where the hunting is going on, especially good in the beautiful mountains. Like to see him retrieving a nice male Wood Duck along a mountain stream some time for sure.

all the best,
