I saw large bunches this morning about 3 miles west of West Fargo.Lots of water yet from the flooding and there were snows in the air all over between West Fargo and Mapleton.But pretty tough to get at them since most off pavement roads are pretty soft yet.

I just got back from the Bismarck area today and there are birds all over in the stubble fields along I-94 in that area. I doubt you could throw a rock and not hit one. Bring your mud boots with!

Today I drove 100 miles down the red river valley, and most birds I saw were really high. Its not like they have any water to rest their flight on.

I know there are a lot in the area, but I haven't specifically scouted them. If the flood water isn't too bad I may try get out on Tuesday.

Well we were over by Devil's Lake for a couple days. Tons of birds around, but there is so much water it's unreal. Most of the geese we saw never got up, they could be in a "lake" and swim over to eat some corn without ever flying anywhere. There was no predicting what they'd do. Nice to be out though, except the mud made everything a chore.

Anything closer to the rugby area at all.....or do they stop about 10 miles all around Devils Lake like normal? I'm headed down highway 2 from Mn to Minot and would love to see 'em in a huntable area. Is the DL region posted up pretty tight?

Was out hunting by fesseden over the weekend and we ended up getting 25 birds. There wern't many birds still around. We tracked down two semi-decent flocks and hunted them each day. Alot of watet in the fields made it for some tough hunting

Brian, I was out within 1-2 hours west of fargo, early last week, and this last sunday.

We were scouting for snows, and they're all gone.

We were hoping to find some stragglers, but couldn't find anything. I don't know if there is just too much water, but in 7 hours of scouting the only white birds we saw were about 500+ swans.

It was nice to see thousands of ducks, and honkers. I'm going to have to start fishing to take my mind off waterfowling...

If people are heading to ND, I would go as far north as possible.

Just got back snow goose hunting!! Its pretty much over. Put on 900 miles this weekend. Found very few bird. Most birds we saw were along the ND-Canadian border north of Devils Lake!! And there was only a few thousand there, and most were juvies. There was a few birds scattered from Lakota to Devils Lake to Cando area.

      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.
