I hunted central ND for 3 days on my way home from Montana. Hit a piece of private south of 94. Corn was still on but moved birds. We missed 2. Got some points on hens that held tight and presented perfect shots (as usual). Had a couple more roosters blow out of the center of the corn. Was really windy and you couldn't hear the collars deep in the corn. Probably saw 15 . It will be an excellent place after harvest.
Moved a lil further east. Saw two roosters and two hens on a 640 ac section that usually holds many more. Hit the other spots there and moved zero. The locals are seeing way fewer grouse and pheasants than ever. This is in an area that was on the decline due to habitat loss. So , I did see birds , just down a lot overall.
