I can't tell you but it is likely to be highly location dependent. Here in Iowa, I am awaiting the August road counts with some anxiety. We had a mild winter until it was suddenly very very cold. Late cold can be deadly. After it finally warmed up, we had lots of rain here in the Central Plains during nesting, but the intensity of if was highly variable. Western Iowa and Eastern Nebraska got hammered. The Dakotas has similar variability.

Where in SD do you hunt? Further west might be much better than the East, although I'm guessing a little.
