It has been 30 years since I hunted in North Dakota. Because I ain't getting any younger,I am trying to do get in at least one more good hunting outing. So my son in law and eldest grand son are heading for North Dakotas waterfowl opener in 2 weeks. I was wondering if any of you guys from that area can help guide me to some private land to hunt. I Love hunting over decoys and prefer private ground where you can keep a decoy spread out for a few days. It has been a lot of years since I have put out a good string of decoys,to me half the fun of Waterfowl hunting was watching the decoy spread. Any in put would be greatly appreciated. Tom

Never gave a thought to Canada being closed,and how it would affect going to North Dakota. Tom

Sure has freed up a lot of land up here with the boarder closed now till 26 Oct 2020. We have had good luck over in the corner of MB/Sask/ND along the edge of the Clark -Sayler Wildlife management reserve Highway 83 in Canada/USA boarder There was a Whooping Crane on Monday over there so that may effect Crane hunting now.

Getting old so I am trying to make sure I get in one last--good hunt.Wanted to go early,because later in season can be iffy and also runs into trapping season. I am also trying to get in one more season of chasing the water rodents.Missed the last couple of years with a torn miniscus--which now seems to have healed. Hopefully not all the farmers are negative feeling,and I can find one who reacts positively. I know 30 years ago,all the farmers were very positive towards us,but I can see how it can now be a real pain for them. I only wish I had taken names and numbers from them 30 years ago and kept in touch. I am sure most of them from that time period are now resting behind the pearly gates. Tom

What I have heard from sportsmen and some farmers in the area is MN hunters have ruined it for them. I've had the same experience in Montana with MN outdoorsman. In fact just 2 weeks ago.

Knock on doors but DO NOT mention you're from Wisconsin in that area... trust me!
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

I was planning on bringing something for the farmers that are willing to share their land with me. Being a trapping supply dealer,I won't bring trapping items,but I was thinking of bringing the elbow length choppers and an assortment of deerskin and cowhide gloves. I like them and figured a land owner would too. Tom

BRING CHEESE.
The ranchers wives don't wear gloves but they love cheese. A 5Lb block of cheese got me a lot of trapping ground when I knocked on doors.
