HISTORICAL FACT: Kansas was the first state to outlaw the Ku Klux Klan.

Just sayin......

Must be the same timeframe that Kansas City came about.....just sayin'

I challenge you to name another state with as many ducks, with as much open land to hunt them with as little hunter pressure. Pheasant hunting is probably only second to SD. And as I said before, fuck deer hunting.


I hope you a joking about hunter pressure....

I didn't kill any more ducks when I was in ND, than I have anywhere else. Maybe it was just the timeframe I was there, but it was hardly above average. I lived in Lansford, but usually hunted south.

As for naming states I would rather hunt. I'd rather hunt California and Oregon right now than anywhere else.

No, I'm really not. Obviously, any place worth hunting is going to have pressure, if you don't want ANY pressure, try Iowa. My point is that ND has the combination of all 3 things I mentioned. Where else can someone go, with no prior knowledge of the area, no guide, and no assistance, and have a reasonable chance of success almost anywhere you go in the state? I'm talking complete DIY hunt. That doesn't really exist anywhere else. I can't just drive to California on a whim for 4 days of hunting and expect to kill birds, I'd have to have a hookup of some sort. I'm not saying I don't want to hunt those places, but on my grading scale, it's pretty tough to beat what NoDak has to offer.

Well then, that makes sense. It seems they didn't travel far when they were freed.
I've been to Kansas once in my life that I know of and, it was Kansas City on our way to Florida.
First thought when I crossed the bridge from Kansas City MO into Kansas City Kansas was "damn I thought there would be more white folk here." :lol:

Do you know a spot or do you know a state? I don't know, perhaps I've been pretty lucky. I've gone to ND for two years in a row, for about 4 days each time. We went to two different areas each time with no prior knowledge of either, and still ended up killing about 90 birds both times (about 75 ducks). The whole time, I think we ran in to MAYBE two groups of hunters per trip. Honestly though, I probably wouldn't move there now, as the wife wouldn't want to be that far away from family, but if I was single or we were looking for a change, ND would be near the top of my list.

Wait...so you are speaking on behalf of ND with 8 days experience? Lol. I thought maybe you lived there for a few years.
3geese is one of the few Ive known that actually like to live there. The scenery is probably the most boring out of any state. I liked my time there, but I can honestly say the fishing was better than the ducking. Only went goose hunting a handful of times, but it was better than the ducking too.

And how much experience do you have hunting in CA and OR? Or Nebraska, or South Dakota, or Michigan? Are we having a dick measuring contest? Do you have to live somewhere to know what it has to offer? I'd say my limited experience says a lot, I'm confident that I can throw a dart at a map of ND and be able to kill birds with relative ease. Once again, oh wise one, name me another place that offers that.

No contest. I said I simply wanted to hunt there. Mostly due to scenery and their long season. I just think you are overestimating ND. I could pick a lot of places on the map I could damn near promise you wont even see a bird. I wont argue about upland, that is awesome there. I will argue all day about the duck hunting being average though, having hunted 3 full seasons there.

Wasn't trying to get you all butthurt :lol:

Wait...so you are speaking on behalf of ND with 8 days experience? Lol. I thought maybe you lived there for a few years.
3geese is one of the few Ive known that actually like to live there. The scenery is probably the most boring out of any state. I liked my time there, but I can honestly say the fishing was better than the ducking. Only went goose hunting a handful of times, but it was better than the ducking too.

I'll be the first to admit my experience there is fairly limited, but it was a rare occurrence to drive by water without birds on it. Enough so that if you did, you usually do a double take to make sure you didn't miss something. I don't know where the ducks were when you were there, but they seemed to be everywhere I looked. For small game and freshwater fishing, there's no contest in my opinion.

And how much experience do you have hunting in CA and OR? Or Nebraska, or South Dakota, or Michigan? Are we having a dick measuring contest? Do you have to live somewhere to know what it has to offer? I'd say my limited experience says a lot, I'm confident that I can throw a dart at a map of ND and be able to kill birds with relative ease. Once again, oh wise one, name me another place that offers that.


No contest. I said I simply wanted to hunt there. Mostly due to scenery and their long season. I just think you are overestimating ND. I could pick a lot of places on the map I could damn near promise you wont even see a bird. I wont argue about upland, that is awesome there. I will argue all day about the duck hunting being average though, having hunted 3 full seasons there.

Wasn't trying to get you all butthurt :lol:

Cheers!

Going from the great lake ontario and its wetlands to long island is all I will ever desire. Sometimes its easy and sometimes its not. But the smart thing is to scout hard enough to not go duck hunting when the ducks arent here and go bag some dam squirrels, grouse, and deer. They only eat as good or better and variety is nice. The lulls dont happen much at all if ever if your good at scouting, but for god sakes poor scouts are just deer days fellas. :oops: Just becuase your bro is coming up or your dad or best friends, dont bring them to a glassy, empty hole. Go get some effin rodents with sniper 10,22 insteads and have a blast and awesome meal.

Assa, can't picture you as a centex kind of guy. Not enought time in the day for you to cuss and dehumanize all the liberal gays here. I see you down on the coast fishing, blasting sprigs (one can dream) and throwing empty beer cans at all the illegals. That being said once you do get your ass down here there will be a shelf full of IPA's in the fridge waiting your arrival.
