The Prairie fields are filled with wild birds this years. We see no other hunters in North dakota as we hunt in area that have no lodges or guides. There can be too many birds for untrained pointing dogs and here the labs excell on recovering crippled birds.

I hunted with others who shoot doubles and we tend to hunt creek bottoms where the rooster like to hide. We see anywhere from 1000-3000 birds a day and harvest just enough for food and alway a gentleman's limit. Ellen is amazed at the habitat and the affect it has on numbers and the fact there are not others hunting such abundance. She understands keeping coverts locations close to the vest and plans to return each years to enjoy North Dakota.
