I was looking at the opening dates for pheasants and deer and planning my trip and find FWP has moved the pheasant opener back one week to the 12th which is now the same as N.Dakota. Although out of state hunters can't hunt public land in N.Dakota for the first week of the season, private land is available. It also reduces by one week the period where there aren't big game hunters all over the place while you're hunting birds.
I wonder if there will be a reduction in the hunters this year since the guys from farther East may just stay in N. Dakota instead of hunting the week of the opener in Mt. and then going East for that opener like in the past? There were a ton of hunters the first week of the last 5 seasons who did that in Mt.
Or maybe I just read the reg.s wrong.
