Since our group has to hunt public during our trip to Hettinger I'm not too worried about the number of birds more available hunting spots. Talked to my friend last night that is in the Bismarck area now grouse hunting to see how things were going. "Not good the cows have the fields mowed to the ground" 8 guys four dogs five birds in a week. Thinking about rescheduling our trip for our home state. At least that way I'm positive we have spots to hunt. Very disappointed as this is the one vacation I take a year.
