I like the fact that birds are coming out, the problem is the size of that complex!!! It spans miles, I have hunted it numerous times and always shot birds. I will be out in that area this weekend on Sunday but not hunting that specific area. We have a usual Sunday spot we always go to and are usually done within 30-45 minutes. Good luck if you're going out this weekend, looks like the weather is going to be a bit cooler than the past couple weekends.I know some of you folks hunt the Spring Run complex in Dickinson county. We have been combining the corn across the fence and man have the birds been flying out of there and into the slough areas. Most I’ve ever seen in a loooong time.
I'll be in that area Nov. 7th. I'll keep it in mind for sure. Thanks for the report.I know some of you folks hunt the Spring Run complex in Dickinson county.

Mostly out yes. The elevators are getting full and running shortened hours. I would guess by Saturday the corn in this area will be 80-90% out.I'll be in that area Nov. 7th. I'll keep it in mind for sure. Thanks for the report.
@McFarmer how is the harvest going, are the fields likely to be empty by then?
it's actually Dickinson County in IA, it's where Spirit Lake is located. If you look it up on OnX you will see the amount of land in the area and the spots he is talking about. I would guess in total the Spring Run Complex has somewhere in the neighborhood of 2000+ acres and is divided up between 10-12 separate pieces of state & federal land.That is Dickinson County North Dakota fellas.
If there are no birds there, try a different state.
