Hey all, my son Jim and I went out after Mass today. We each managed one. Didn't see a lot. A couple areas we hunt still have standing crops by the good prairie areas, so....guess where hanging out. Took Addie out, she did very well. Anyway I used my 16b Charles Boswell Best Regards Greg

Hey all, opening day today. Rained in the morning so we hunted after it quit. I managed a limit, son Jim did not fair well. Our 11 year old GSP Raina did very well. You'd never know that she's that old Didn't see a lot, but they are a funny bird. We'll see what tomorrow brings. Used my...

Saw that today. To be honest, I was a bit surprised. The winter we had was one of the worst we've had in 20 some years. We've had a decent spring, short as it was. A tad hot, but with a good amount of rain. The brood counts will give a better picture of what the season may bring. Thank...

Hi, you can find all these birds pretty much all over the state. The very eastern part will be tough. Anywhere west of the Missouri River, both north and south of I 94 will be your best bet. Huns are pretty much a bonus bird when hunting pheasants. Just remember that the cover/territory...

Hey all, well after a looong winter, spring has sprung. We got a lot of rain the last 2 days and that with the snow melt (BTW, there is still some snow hanging around in the shelter belts and in the hills) should have enough ground moisture to get the prairie grasses growing for nestling...

Sorry to get back to you so late. My apologies. Anyway, I live south of Mandan in a small farm town off ND Hwy 6. Still have snow in the yard and off the Hwy where it drifted in heavy. G&F did their aerial survey for deer. Down about 50% in the area where we hunt in unit 2J2. Not good...

Got more snow and wind last week. Missed the record by a 1/2". Had some drifts by the house, we got more snow by us than Bismarck. So....guess we hit the record. Temps still way below normal. Who know when it will warm up here! Stay well my friends! Greg

Well, another blizzard tomorrow and the day after. Heavy snow and very high winds = winter kill and more damage to the wildlife population. The drifting will be the big issue. We had a nice melt so the birds could get at some food, but with this one it's going to be tough for a few days. The...

Hey all, just thought I'd give you my impression of this winter. It can be summed up in two words: IT SUCKS! We're getting hit hard this year, so far the third worst winter in recent memory. We're only about 8 inches away from breaking the 96/97 winter. And guess what? We'll more than...

Merry CHRISTmas to all my fellow North Dakotans (and of course all others!). May God Bless you and your families! Greg

Wishing all of you and yours a very Blessed Christmas Greg

+1 looks like we both have the same book and page. Same here, last time I wasn't able to hunt till the end was about 10 years ago. This weather isn't good for them. Guess time will tell. Looks like we're in for a hell of a winter! Stay well my friends Greg

Hey all, well, looks like my season is done. Went out yesterday and it was tough going. To back up some, last week over Thanksgiving we had a couple days of melt. Did clear off some areas, but not all. Got to a couple of my good spots, looked okay as the field I had to cross wasn't deep...

Well at least some folks are getting out. Good for you! You must live in the east or NW part of the State. That's the depth of snow I like to hunt in. But here in the south central, now.......no way! Best, Greg

Hey all, talk with some of the Ranchers and farmers after Church today. They had to bring their cows home due to the snow from there grazing areas. Snow is just too deep. They all said that the section lines and roads are all drifted in. +1 on what Alaskan swamp said. There will be some...

Of the snow drifts?

Good one! I'd love to see what a dog would look like and get around on them

You may be right. I don't want to be a Debbie Downer. But just letting my dogs out to do their business is a chore for them. The snow is so deep they can hardly move around. Unless we get a good melt, it maybe the end of the season This just plan sucks! Best Greg

Well, the blizzard is over.....now to dig out! They updated the snow totals and for my area we got 21". The drifts are in some places massive. It's supposed to stay cold thru Thanksgiving, oh joy! Don't know how it's going to pan out for the rest of the year around here. Stay well! Greg
