[QUOTE="zoops, post: 200564, member: 790"] Wasn't a bad season considering the bird numbers/reports coming in. Seemed where there was decent cover, the bird numbers were fairly normal. Biggest issue is we've lost a lot of cover. Hunted them before the NR rush in October and did okay, and then didn't hit them much until after deer opener. Always nice when the weather cooperates to make it possible to hunt them in the late season, but man was the wind forecast off this past weekend! Even checked it right before going out Saturday morning and it said 9-13 gusting to 18 for Bismarck, got out and it was basically a ground blizzard with 20-25 mph sustained, probably gusting to 30. We had about the perfect amount of snow the last 2-3 weeks to get them out of the thin cover and into the cattails. Definitely had to put some miles on the boots but that's what makes it fun for me. Only got skunked once or twice and limited out more than not; experienced dog was worth his weight in gold. I'd say about an hour of walking per rooster on average. First year that I've hunted zero posted land, which makes getting birds a little more satisfying. [/QUOTE]
