Less educated, but still highly pursued in ND. november & a snow storm? I'd give it a go.

How pursued are they really in the fall in ND tho??? Hunting pressure in ND seems pretty light even in the fall, well light compared to what I'm used to.

 

Not sure where you hunt in ND, but where I go, if there is a mallard feed, there can be 10 trucks circling it. So if your used to seeing 20 trucks circling a mallard feed I guess there is less pressure.
Only reason I still occasionally go to ND is because I have access to thousands of acres of private land thanks to college buddies that farm up there.
the three times I've set up on snows specifically in the last 5-6 years, somebody has either tried to jump them or pass shoot them between the x and the roost. We flat destroy the mallards over a white spread though.

 

Timing is a real issue. I live here and am about 2hrs drive from the flight line. Generally by the time I hear the birds are moving through if I'm not there the next day the birds are gone. Same goes for scouting birds. Don't count on them using the same field for more than a couple days.

Yikes, yeah I've never had that experience in ND but I also hunt water lolzzz. Last fall I was west of DL a few hours, fall before that I was near Carrington. I'm used to west metro in MN so perhaps thats why ND doesn't seem bad to me. Def more hunters along the HWY 2 corridor tho. I feel like there is also less pressure in areas with less amounts of public land.

Why not just keep going north and go in to Manitoba or Saskatchewan? Cost about the same except for a little more in gas, passport, and hassle of a little paperwork for what you bring back. You can use an ecaller there in the fall over whatever decoys you have out, provided the sound is set to snow geese. Landowner access is much easier to obtain.

How is it getting guns across the border? I'm thinking Saskatchewan in the fall next year is what it's gonna have to be.

Easy if you do it right. Cased and stored separate from ammo. Gun form filled out completely and NOT SIGNED before you get to the border. They'll ask if you have a gun, you tell them yes, they'll have you pull somewhere and park. You go into their shack, sign the form in front of them, pay your fee, they may or may not inspect the firearm to ensure the serial number matches the form and you're on your way.
