Late update: I just got back from a week in Aberdeen SD. First day we hunted a mix of private and public land no more than 15 miles out of town. We had a limit of 15 birds. Later we hunted private land just south of the ND border. We were down to 3 hunters and two dogs and the cover was just too big. We still managed our limits, but it was hard earned. Best day was the first because we had a 3-4" snow and finding even a cripple was easy because you could track the downed bird. Being a Alabama guy that was a first for me. Great time, but bird numbers do appear down.
