I am located in Bismarck, and as most of us know, the majority of water now has ice on it. I want to hunt some waterfowl and I can’t hunt the Missouri, where do I start for scouting fields for some ducks and geese? I have field decoys and calls and everything I need. I’m from MT and I’m not really familiar with where there are good grain fields to try and shoot some birds! I am not sure on whether to try and stick near the river or head more east. Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Start driving north. Geese start to show up around Wilton. Washburn is what you’re looking for. No clue on land access as I haven’t hunted waterfowl going on 7 years now.

Head up to the lake at this point Stevie Wonder would have no trouble spotting the geese!

Anywhere around the east half of sakakawea is loaded with geese. Drive around the lake and watch for flocks.
