Deer hunting for us, well at least for my son, was very good this year but I have heard from a LOT of guys that it was slow for most. I don’t know if the deer heard it was hunting season and just layed low or what but they just did not seem to move all that much.
What area did you go to in ND? I too made a trip out there this year for the first time in about 12 years and we had a blast! Shot ducks in the mornings and chased the pheasants in the afternoons. For me it was the first time pheasant hunting. For sure a trip I am planning again for next year.
