    The End?

    Reports I've seen for that area were 15-25 inches of snow. Ice should be fine since that area didn't have a lot of snow before this but now I think soft spots in cattails would be the least of your worries.

    The End?

    Looking like a very rough winter for pheasants thus far. We had enough snow to make it tough going already, now a 3 day blizzard with 12-24" over most of the state. Most areas also had a glazing of freezing mist/rain prior to this snow. Been probably 10 years since I haven't hunted up til the...

    Moisture coming….

    Some bumpy weather last night in SW ND. Didn't sound like anything too crazy. 2-3" of rain in Dickinson and around 2 in Bismarck.

    Leaving Dogs In Vehicle

    5 hours is a pretty long hunt in ND - you'd be back to the truck around noon. Go hunt a pothole for a couple hours in the morning and/or evening and call it good. Your scenario reminded me of a story I heard a couple years ago: Pair of guys with a young shorthair went to hunt a pothole for a...

    Dog teeth cleaning?

    Curious what it usually costs you all? Had it quoted on my lab a year or two ago and a couple places were over $400 if I remember correctly. Ended up traveling about a hundred miles to a vet friend of mine who did it for around 150.

    Migration Vacation

    You'd probably want to be south of I94 and east of the MO river if looking to do both.

    ND Info

    12 week season (15 if you count the september part of grouse/partridge). Try to run out after work once or twice a week + some long weekends. Not too hard when you can hunt within 20 minutes of your house.

    ND Info

    Sharptails are pretty much anywhere in the state that has decent habitat (which is usually shorter grass/cover than pheasants like), but in my experience are tough to target by the time pheasant season opens (very flighty). Have never really hunted around the Mott/far SW area with its...

    Scary Moment

    Curious if it was private or public land? If I remember correctly trapping isn't allowed on public land in ND until after bird season. I try to make a point of asking private landowners but I could see them not always being aware.

    Loan your dogs to a buddy?

    I was freshly out of college and had never owned a dog and had a coworker who I hunted with who would let me take his lab hunting. He had young kids so he wasn't able to get out more than once a week so he was happy to get the dog more work. The dog was well behaved and not the type to go...

    ND Brood Counts

    I have definitely been surprised at the amount of cover that has been hayed or mowed - there is not much habitat in the areas I've looked.

    Moving to....

    I'm not real familiar with the particulars of that area but there are birds around there. Most would recommend going 50-100 miles west/southwest but as always, good hunting is where you find it :)

    Pouring out here...

    Did that hail come close to you a couple days ago? Sounded like some golf ball to baseball size near Regent, Glen Ullin, Flasher, etc.

    Rail road tracks

    If it's ND and it's not posted I probably wouldn't worry about it - not saying you won't catch heck for it though. Can't say I've ever considered walking one though just since there aren't really any in areas I hunt.

    Decent report...

    Seeing many broods? Looks like your area had a decent shot of rain yesterday...

    Decent report...

    I wouldn't get your hopes up too much. There will of course be birds somewhere but it is just incredibly dry in almost all of the pheasant belt in ND. There was a story on the news in Bismarck last night showing a farmer near Bismarck (can't remember exactly where) who was combining his corn...

    Correct, just because land isn't posted electronically doesn't mean it's open to hunting without permission.

    No contact information is required and most of the tracts I've looked at do not include it.
