Corn on my land was 6-7 feet tall in most areas, but if you ask my Renter, corn height doesn't mean corn success. too me all the crops look great. they are harvesting wheat, yesterday, on our land. but i think most crops are two weeks behind....also we had a lot of rain in june. not a...

One issue with hunting oct 15th is a lot of crop will still be up in ND. For sure Corn will be, and probably Sunflowers and Maybe Beans. We got a real late start to planting in spring and everything was late. just something to think about. Jim

Here is my report From Central ND. I was there on July 2nd and again July 9th. First of all in my area we are really wet. the cover is as good as I have seen in 5-10 years maybe more. My dad actually said we didn't need rain. He NEVER SAYS that. I saw mallards on almost every watering hole...

Here is the link to the North Dakota Outdoors Webcast - Grouse, Partridge, and Fall Turkey Season Previews (08/24/2017) They talk about what we have said on this forum. That Grouse and pheasants are down in there surveys, but one surprise is that Huns were not really impacted. I guess hot...

I always thought that if a hen Lost her WHOLE Brood at anytime she would renest. if the brood was 1,2,3 4, weeks old and the whole Brood was lost, she would Renest. If one chick remained she wouldn't, Only if all were Lost. That being said I was on the SD site, and a few guys said that a...

Anyone out last weekend for the youth hunt? Any reports would be appreciated. :) Jim
