Outdoor Life

We just spent a week hunting ducks in North Dakota with onX (@lakepickle is still trying to perfect his Upper Midwestern accent). This part of the country promises plenty of opportunity for the freelance duck hunter, but there are some challenges here too. Conditions were dry and warm, mallard numbers are down historically, and there was no small number of other nonresident hunters chasing the same sort of hunts as us. So if you do plan on traveling up north to go duck hunting, keep a few things in mind: make sure to close the gates behind you, don’t rut up the field roads, clean up your spent hulls, don’t shoot close to the cattle or horses, and be extra nice to the locals. And, lastly, read up on why the proposal to revise the drain tile setback rules would be detrimental to duck hunters up and down the flyway. Hopefully we can preserve one of the last best places for the DIY duck hunter. Listen to our full breakdown on the Outdoor Life podcast tomorrow. @alexrobinson_mn
