yes the spring conservation order is now a "permanent season" that does not need special approval every year.
Although it will ocntinue to be studied and bird pops monitored

It's not apples to oranges.

The fish migrate out by the thousands in coolers!

All you MN guys can keep your fish if you don't come to ND waterfowl hunting....I think what SD is a great deal limiting the number of NR.

Snows showing up Sat morning. Keep pushing them down here. Nobody hunts in the fall around here anymore.

I clicked on this thread hoping to read some interesting comments and conversation about snow goose hunting. You guys sound like a bunch of women. Who cares who hunts or fishes where? Its all legal so it doesn't matter. I'm a resident of MN and I get resident ND hunting license because I go to school in ND so I hunt and fish both MN and ND. But I have never experienced any problems in either states about res or non-res until I came on this site.

Theres still plenty of snows in ND. This last weekend I've never seen so many out and about before. I can't even tell you how many hundreds of thousands I saw. Many, many fields were full of white. I kind of wish I wasn't deer hunting friday but out shooting the snows instead.

There we go..... everyone go to SD and hunt snows. Oh wait you have to apply for that license last May or something.

Let's keep the bickering to just one thread okay gang? No need to turn every thread into the same debate.

Still plenty of snows around this past weekend. Did extremely well Friday and Saturday, Sunday was tough without any wind but we still shot a white collared rossy.

bigblackfoot,

I've been deer hunting for the past few days so I haven't been on the site.

First, thanks for calling me genious....I'll take it as a compliment.

Yes it is apple to apples....we have something that a ton of ND residents want...cabins, lake homes and fishing. You have something that Mn. residents want.... hunting. We each have something the other one wants it's a pretty good trade both ways. Your NR license fees include the restocking of lakes, but it also says you can fish for 365 days. Our NR license pays for Plots and State management land of which we can't hunt until the local residents have hammered the public land first. Our license is only good for 14 days.

It's not perfect on either side.

Ever check out the numbers of walleye caught per hour of fishing between ND and MN? How about the number of ND fisherman that come to Mn compared to other NR fisherman in Mn. What % of Lake places in Mn are from ND. Willing to bet it would be alot less than .01%. Then take a look at how many NRs have places in rural ND for hunting? I can not go to Mn and lease out part of a lake and keep you from fishing. ND has a great G&F dept and MN DNR sucks.

Bigblackfoot and drakekiller,

I'm not going to lower myself to your level and start calling names, but here are some facts for you:

I was out pheasant hunting the first two weekends of the season. On my way home, I purposefully counted the ND license plates going back to ND from Minnesota. It takes me 1 1/2 hours to get from Fargo to my home. The first weekend, I counted 211 vehicles with ND plates. The second weekend I counted 191. That's a small timeframe so I'm guessing that the total plates are only a small fractiion of NR going back to ND.

Are they all taking coolers of walleyes home? Of course not. My only point is that both states have things to offer to NR. Neither state has rules that are perfect. I agree with Beekbuster, get over it. It is what it is.

I'm moving on.

I do not get it? Are you saying the ND cars are coming from the lakes? Did they have boats? Not really lakes season. More likely coming back form the cities spending money at the mall. Saving your big cities. I bet you saw alot more duck boats heading east and west.

I said that I was moving on, but I'll answer your question.

Many ( no particular number) had either boats or 4-wheelers. The people from Fargo and eastern ND don't go to the cities on Highway #10, they go down #94. My opinion is that a huge majority of the vehicles are coming from lake homes & cabins.

Again, my point is that A TON of ND people use Minnesota for recreational purposes. It's a two-way street. No pun intended.
