Spent the day out chasing pheasants in North Dakota. Third day of a four day trip. The legs are pretty worn out tonight. Smart watch says I walked 11.2 miles. I think that is a little exaggerated but not by a lot. The population is about the same as last year from what we have seen. Way down from four or five years ago, but still enough to make it interesting. Managed a three bird limit today. The wind has been relentless since Saturday out of the NW and the geese are taking advantage of it. Big flocks going over this afternoon. Heard some Sandhills going south too and saw a flock of about fifteen swans at one point. Lots of water around from all the recent rains and the snow that fell two weeks ago. Most of that has melted, but there are still remnants of drifts here and there in shaded spots.
Always interesting and fun here in ND.
