    Ohhh man, that’s waterfowl killin’ weather!

    @Nate it is. Unfortunately we just couldn't seem to do anything with the groups we were seeing. Regardless, still a way better hunt than anything back home!

    @Derek man that’s cool. That waterfowl huntin is a whole lotta fun. Especially when it all comes together.

    @Nate it's my favorite hunting anymore. I still love to deer and turkey hunt and all the other stuff I do outdoors, but nothing is quite like waterfowl. It's a real labor of love, from start to finish when you're eating the duck at the supper table.

    @Derek absolutely. We target more Canadian geese than ducks and the group I hunt with is all self taught, starting around 2015. The year we finally figured it out was going to be my last year of doing it - we struggled so much for two seasons I was ready to find a different way to spend my winters 😆 But it clicked and we’ve been piling them up ever since. Glad you guys found success in ND! Very underrated state to visit. Let me know when you’re ready to shoot some geese.

    @Dustin it was a first for us. It just happened to be there, so we decided to take the picture with it.
