When hunting early season am often walking back to truck at 930 or so 1000am!

Benelli gave very useful advice. One of my mentors in hrc hunt test said” it’s all about the journey “ . I live in Montana but hunt a fair bit in no. Dakota. Many great relationships built over many years of trips!

Lots of block management areas in Montana. The biologists are a good source of information too. They will be fairly generic. Depending on hatch it can be fantastic or a bust. Knocking on doors in Montana can be very useful. Need time to kick the DUST with a farmer. Good luck

7.5 great for pen raised birds IMO and other companies produce, the supply is the issue now. I do like rio 7. 5 16 gauge First day or two on Wild birdsi start with7.5 then.move to 6 , by late November I uses a mix of 6 first barrels then 5 shot

South west no dak seems IMO to not have much beyond local water fowl. There is plots which is state funded walk in upland . Depending on year and nesting and crp locations, can have excellent sharptail, and pheasant hunting. My experience has been hun hunting lately , very poor. Southwest...

North Dakota is still welcoming and good bird chasing ! Don’t know that town but hunt western no dak every year! My highlight trip of the year ! Congratulations

I wouldn’t say I train different for species. Have my 5 th lab, non pointing. Have hunted her 5 falls. We start with mountain grouse to avoid snakes , then move to prairie grouse and Huns in late September. We usually get a few dove before they leave Montana . A few duck hunts before pheasants...

Good looking red lab!!! Where did you get your pup! Congratulations

Is there enough moisture to germinate the spring week? It looks like you may get some showers or hopefully some rain this week! Keep us fans of ND updated please!

Thanks only curse of owning dogs , is they don’t outlive us.... you will never forget your dog! But it will hurt less in some time down the road . Sorry

Who has ever seen a albino in the wild? Roosters or hen??? I have been hunting over 50 years and do not ever recall seeing one? I have been to a small simple hunting operation in Mott , North Dakota. They have been hosting hunters for 30 plus years and they have a couple of roosters mounted. I...
