Chris, you're absolutely torturing me! If I could get the license changed to your zone & time, I'd pack the Suburban and roll. When you are seeing birds in these numbers, are they North Dakota produced birds or early migrators? Our group will be in NW ND the 12th - 19th. Any idea on what we could expect in terms of #'s of birds then? We hunted the 1st week of Oct. last yr. and did well on geese, just no ducks. Glad to see all of your positive reports. If it's not too much trouble, don't kill 'em all. Save a couple for us to chase around. :beer:
