tealtamer I believe you should have good hunting in your area . I would think the ducks would be similar to last year. It did get very dry in most of central ND but the birds started with good conditions so things should be ok. I think you will find good grouse numbers in that area. Those suckers are for young guys with legs.If you run into huns take a couple I think they are the best of the upland. Have a great hunt and good luck
