After this year - I won't pass up a early opener for ducks again :roll: That early cold - made for one of the strangest season I ever had 
Going to Canada was the highlight of my year - I will for sure go once, or twice a year from now on.
I may just say to heck with hunting ND - I doubt I'll ever hunt West or SW of Bismarck ever again. & if things continue down the same path ??? I may just spend all my money up in Canada (already planning next years trips) & only hunt ducks in ND - early 1st week- & then from my duckboat (during the week- later in the season) Let all the shooters have & fight over whats left.
- The days of hassle free hunting are about over in ND. I'll never pay, or beg to hunt. & I won't tresspass, or break the Law - & buying a small piece of land & hunting the same place forever, does not appeal to me. So the opportunities are shrinking & drying up - SAD !!! :eyeroll: & I don't really see any miricles happening to turn things around.
Does anyone else ???
Can't wait :roll: to have grandkids & be able to sit around & tell them about how it used to be. But I would'nt doubt, they will be too busy, or into other things, that they will not even want to hunt, or just become a weekend or two shooters - like so many others. :eyeroll:
The BS & Lies & Greed & poor ethics in Hunting anymore, along with the expense, is not hardly worth it
- Maybe ND is right ?? To get while the getting is good, from the last generations of Hunters & Shooters. When it goes from recreation to commerce - with or without laws ??? I'll be done --- (at least here)
& I'll predict it won't be long & hunting will be in trouble most everywhere.
I hope I'm wrong - But subduers seem to be getting ever closer to the ultimate goal.
