heading to ND new years week, we're going to chase some birds. just curious if anyone's chased any pheasants out there this year or in the past and if you focus west or east river. been seeing decent numbers?

Hunted east of the river and was pretty shocked at how many birds we saw. Lots of shot opportunities. Stay close to the ND/SD border and you should find plenty.

Will find birds on either side of the river. Don't be afraid to knock on doors this time of year as many are pretty willing after deer season, especially if there's only a couple of you. First words out of a farmer's mouth a couple days ago when I asked: "how many guys are with you?" Was just me and the pup, got on and we got done so fast the dog had a look of like "why are we leaving already?" when we got back to the truck. Public land is usually tough this time of year to boot.
