Any of you heard if the Dakotas are getting much rain or snow, seems like all the bad weather is in the west or east...looking forward to what next year may or may not bring.

I talked to my hunting buddy from Lake Andes, South Dakota yesterday. They were in a bad drought before the winter. They have had very little snow. Not enough for any run off. As a matter of fact they hadn't gotten any measurable snow fall until after Christmas. He did say condition in the east central part of the state and Minnesota are in better condition. I am not sure about North Dakota.

GUESS we can pray for some heavy late winter rains up there...or something...enjoyed reading everyones "duck comments" this season, not much went on in the area we hunt in Marks . Everyone get the list of
"things to get done before next season" going, it will take that long to get it done...with a few crappie mixed in this spring!!

O.K......let's see some 'numbers'.......ya know........somebody's projected breeding population returning to the boreal forests.....so we can start speculating whether we get a 45-day or 60-day season next year. :lol:
