I am looking for help to establish a network of waterfowl reports.

Some of you that would be willing to be a part of the migration reporting team. Please join the team here and provide any observations and reports from your area.

I have relied alot on the US Fish and Wildlife websites reporting. This site breaks down many of the different refuges across ND and gives counts on Snow geese, Honkers as well as ducks.

This is course is a count of birds done by airplane, nothing beats 1st hand accounts by users of the forum. I will be in ND tomorrow over the weekend snow goose hunting. Reports from home says there are still many MANY huntable numbers of geese on J Clark....I will report back over the weekend hopefully with pictures.

I hunted Fri, Sat, Sun, and Mon near Newburg/Westhope (on the canadian border) there were plenty of birds around (still say majority is sitting within 200 miles of the boarder in favor of Canada) however, the snow blizzard i hunted in on Monday should have threw everything out. 30 yard visibility in the field. Snows/Lessers flying about 20 yards off the ground...made a mess with the 10 gauge. Between 3 guys, we bagged 46 geese within 4 hours sitting in a ditch, freezing our butts off. Geese were feeding on both sides of the road, and flying over roughly 20 yards off the ground. Sure have never seen nothing like it...truly amazing. Unfortunately the travel through ND at 35MPH on hwy2 to MN was very slow. Seen 1 tractor/trailer on its side near Rugby, and near towner was a Dodge 3500 with 27' trailer turned on its roof (trailer full of hay). Darn slippery with about 3" of slush on the road!

I had an excellent year hunting in ND, and am excited to get things on the road again for next year!

Any others in ND...can you tell how the snowfall on Monday did with the waterfowl migration? Bring any birds in state, or push them all out.

I live in SE ND... the cold weather around here lately has frozen us just about all the potholes, with the exception of one that I'm aware of. I haven't seen much for ducks lately.. I think a lot of them moved on last weekend... sure saw a lot of geese and ducks flying south while out deer hunting...

Tough to say for sure though, they're still forecasting temps in the 50's on Sunday...

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
