I'm thinking that school lands might be a good option to hit this year. The SDGFP site's online maps are making it easier to locate them. It seems from the sample I have checked out on satellite that many of them are down to just the low laying fields with ponds and cattails while all the rest has been sold off. This makes for small parcels to negotiate as well as that fact that they are designed to get leased out for farming/grazing to produce income. Many are adjacent to home sites. But the water and cover should hold more birds this year with the limited cover elsewhere.
Anyone with experience navigating these spots? Do they tend to be too populated with homesites and cattle to make it un-huntable?
