It has been a crazy spring to say the least. We had great hunts in Missouri. From there we jumped straight to North Dakota with a short 4 day stop in South Dakota. Currently the birds have held up here and we have been mostly covered up with the adult birds. Just as of lately we are seeing some younger birds in the flocks. The hunts have also been difficult with the high winds (60 mph) and extremely warm temps which have held the birds down and shortened their feeding patterns in the corn fields.
The North Dakota hotline released today that most birds in ND are in the central part of the state to the Canada border. Also there was a large push back of snows into the northern part of the state with the snow and cold temps that recently hit Canada. You can expect a least one more pushback out of Canada or even ND considering it is only March 28th!
We are covered up with birds to say the least!
We will hunt the main flock thru April 15th and after that we will hunt the juvy flock until the end of April as we always do. North Dakota should once again prove to be the best juvy hunting in the central flyway as the adults have left them in the dust to fend for themselves. These young birds will make there way through the state for the month of April as they are non-breeders and are in no hurry. They can be the best decoying geese in the flock!
We will not be hunting the first week of May which will be the only change.
Thanks to all that we have hunted up to this point and to all of you joining us this month in April. We appreciate your business!
