Still seeing a ton of cans and ducks on the river heading south. Too bad we are closed up here!

endless V’s of canadian’s all day yesterday. Most potholes are froze over and birds are now using the small creeks and rivers in the area. There are birds to be taken if you can locate the fields they are using.

Last night saw thousands of mallards and other puddlers in the area. Not many are decoying well but still managed to shoot a few. Smaller puddles should be freezing up soon, Most around here are frozen in the morning. Hopefully this will concentrate the ducks.

Getting to be more birds around but they are hard to hunt. There’s water everywhere and the birds are really scattered out. No real concentrations for birds. All waters are open. Have notices some migration the past 3-4 days. Still most birds in North Dakota and Canada. Waiting.

Morning Shoot this morning pretty slow. Had a few nice flocks of Mallards later in day but were not very interested. Worked us and two other boat blind spreads close by. Had a pair of Woodies in and got one. Sun came out midmorning and stopped everything for a while. Saw a lot of flocks Friday night from I-29 between Sioux City and Elk Point at Dusk but there were long gone this morning.

A few waterfowl around. most locals blew out with the 50-60 mph NW winds and snow last week. All the birds are still north of SD. Lots still in Northern Canada per my source. Need cold and migrating conditions.

Terry — that’s what happens when you put waterfowl licenses in the hands of upland hunters who think you have to “walk” everything up.
I don’t think any duck hunter or SD resident would mind reducing the number of non-resident upland licenses by 10,000 and creating a new pool of “waterfowl only” licenses that could not be purchased if you purchased and upland license.
It’s a shame that a paltry 6,000 non-resident waterfowl licenses stand in the shadow of 100,000 upland licenses and the chaos it creates.

we cut our anual trip 2 days short due to the storm. wind,snow,freezup. No big deal thats part of the game. The unbelievable numbers of road blasting morons tho was a whole different issue! Who told these clowns this is duck hunting? They were destroying EVERY pothole in sight. Probably my last trip there. I”ve always enjoyed sodak for hospitality and varity of birds and quality of the hunt. quality and quanity are definitly gone now. would not recomend this state to anyone unless they quit selling license to a certian state.
