On my way to Minnesota

[KellyBender]

thanks for all the well wishes.  robhood...check your pms.

I was planning on checking out the footed shaft and p&y while i was out there but ran out of time.  Should be heading out again in the next couple of months again and plan to hit those.  So much to do and getting things done with my 4 boys is like herding cats...

Ak Dan...let me know when you plan on goinjg...maybe we could hook up.

ND, I have been hunting MN for almost 20 years and have never experienced anything like that. Sorry to hear that you had such bad experiences. ND is waterfowl heaven! MN has NEVER had it as good as ND. We shoot a ton of geese here but most of the ducks we shoot come from ND or Canada that come down the Mississippi flyway. I have never hunted ND for waterfowl but by the way you use the word "INVADE" it seems you do not care for nonresident hunters or have had some bad experiences with them. If these are public roads they are tearing up I would be in contact with the county and get those roads fixed. I know when I hunt Montana those roads get pretty bad but it seems the residents are the more daring ones when it comes to trailblazing!

My Sister in Law is from that area.  her dad gave up hunting because it was too easy.  I should have him pick up a bow    

He still hunts raccoons but from he sound of it many other opportunities for everything else not to mention a great location for hunting pother parts of the the country.
