Anybody hunt Yankton SD area?

[tearin' lips]

Myself and a couple buddies got drawn for watefowl licenses in "Charles Mix, Bon Homme, Yankton, Clay & Union counties" I was just curious and to what we can expect for hunting in these areas. My buddies brother lives and yankton and has already got us permission on some land.

Is it typically very good during the season? I realize it depends on scouting, location, migration timing etc. But am just looking to see how everyones luck has been who has hunted there.

Thanks guys.

How late is late? I'm from that area. The potholes and slews freeze up in Nov. and kick all the remaining ducks and geese to the river. 30 miles west of Yankton is Springfield and Runningwater. This area is a maze of sandbars and cattail marsh that does not freeze up. Get a good duck boat, recent sat. image, and a gps if going out in the dark. Remember this is a shallow area in places. It should be good hunting to the end of the year.

Thanks for the heads up on the river. We were looking at that for later in the year. However, if we can gain access to fields that is what we will try to do first. We are coming this weekend for opener, again in the middle of october, again at the end of october, and the second weekend of november. My buddies brother lives in Yankton and has permission to some potholes and one pasture for this weekend. Hopefully we can cut 'em. Thanks again.
