Frankly, the days of "clouds" are about over here in ND. There are still opportunities to hunt (for FREE) but the numbers are a FRACTION of what they have been in recent years. I just missed my first season opener in about 20 years. All reports I have seen told me I didnt miss a damn thing. BTW, I have made several hunting and fishing friends via internet message boards. I wouldnt invite anyone up here to hunt, these days. The birds just arent here anymore. Your best bet...stop in SD!
Oh well. I actually shot plenty of pheasants in the late 70s and early 80s before CRP. Young guy with a young Britt. CRP is great for raising pheasants, but I for one rarely hunt it. Too many other productive covers out there. I kill as many pheasants in MN as I do ND ...
I am comfortable with small access fees as a way for individual farmers to make a little extra. I never said that I have not paid them.
The high brow places that lease tens of thousands of acres and charge huge dollars create problems across many fronts. Can name some if you want me to go there ...
