Just got back from a week in the SW corner of ND and though I would post a few observations. The birds are about the same as last year which is to say they are way down from 10 years ago. We put in a lot of walking for the birds we shot. One thing that was disturbing; there seemed to be a...

I made it out to the SW again after Christmas just in time for a small snow storm. I was hoping that there wouldn't be much more than a dusting, but it ended up being about five inches. Light fluffy stuff so it wasn't too bad. Only one of my friends was able to make it this year so we knew we...

I was out in the SW for a four day weekend and the hunting is much improved over last year. It must have been above average in precipitation this year because the cover is in excellent shape. A lot of waist high grass and good looking crops. Most of the corn and sunflowers are still standing...

Been hunting in the SW again this week. The weather has been so cold that it is a challenge staying warm. We saw -26 one morning. Mostly chasing hens around, but we managed seven roosters today for four hunters. It was overcast and snowing lightly with afternoon temps a steady -15 and a...

I hunted the SW with some friends last Friday through Monday on private land in what had been prime pheasant areas. The other reports are pretty accurate from what I saw. There must have been a high 90's percent mortality in the broods this year. I think I only saw two young birds out of the...

Just got back from nine days in SW ND. Hunted private land with friends on the weekends and mostly by myself during the week. It was terrific except for the long drive out and back, but it is always worth the effort. Shot limits a couple of days and got blanked one day, but can't hunt hard...

My yellow Lab and I had a bad experience with a porky last week in ND and I would like to hear what others have done. We were hunting with some others in a very weedy sunflower field where there were quite a few birds. After flushing and retrieving a rooster she went on point by a...

The thread about boots reminded me of a question that came up last year while I was hunting. One of the friends I hunt with had just purchased a new pair of boots with a fairly smooth sole. He said the salesman had recommended it for pheasant hunting with the theory that the smooth sole would...

Like many others, I have been reading on this site off and on for a while. Finally got around to registering. I am from MN, but have been hunting ND a couple of times a year for several years now. Fall is definitely my favorite time of year and one of the reasons is pheasant hunting. I...
