Three years ago my wife and I went to North Dakota for our honeymoon. Then we went back the year after. The plan this year? We're going again. I don't think we'll ever miss being in that state in late October. By that time, the woodcock have just left our Northern Ontario home, the grouse are much deserving a rest from our harassment, and the dog gets a nice rest when we return while I spend a bit of time putting away our deer meat for the year.
This January I'll be turning the big three zero, so we've been picking our brains for something to do. Looks like a pilgrimage to Kansas might be in order. We've never hunted wild quail, and a mix of quail and pheasants when we're all but snowed in for the year up here will be a lifesaver. I'd love to hear anything that might be better, especially if it gets us away from the frigid cold for a few days.
So far we're thinking of hunting the approximate South East corner of the state. We don't mind spending time knocking on doors, and find that its usually worth taking some time out of hunting to find some nice private land. Our dog Wilma is a four year old Drahthaar who is really at her best in open country.
Thanks for all the help and advice, this forum gets me through the long days of summer, dreaming about the fall.
