North Dakota Pheasant hunting | Public land Plots on wild birds 

Well said @nathan- I enjoy the outdoors and getting birds but the real passion for me comes from working hard in the field and in training with my dog to become better with each hunt. I also have sons that I would like to pass these skills and passion down to also and there is no better feeling!

Thank you for watching and it is ALL about the dogs!!

Hey @outdoorrn2980- thanks for watching the video and thoughts! It is an interesting discussion topic among hunters with differing views. I have personally had scenarios where I have done both in the same hunt or at different hunts with the same dog and get mixed results. Especially for this time of the year being later season and on hunting land that is hunted usually 2-4 times a week, these birds tend to be gone if you don't stick on them. For the pups, the current stage is around promoting bird drive as much as possible and Dre has luckily had very rare issues "bumping birds" but completely agree with your notion/it is great experience feedback!

@@northpointkennels6020hello good videos

Same here and I keep the beepers off and only use it if the dog is out of view. Wise birds don't like car doors slamming, buddies talking or bells and beepers. Even whistle commands are kept at a minimum. That's where hand signals come in.

Hey @chris- Thanks for watching and your question! We hunt most of the state and move around a lot. However, to be more specific and helpful, we tend to leverage OnX maps and/or the new map system that the ND Fish and Wildlife site have in order to find land options. Almost everything we hunt is public land (PLOTS is the name of the program for North Dakota). This particular hunt was in southern North Dakota based on public land we found through the sites. Your timing is actually fantastic because as we approach pheasant season, I am going to do a video of the tools/techniques we use in order to identify possible hunting places and try to walk through the process as much as we can step by step. To your point, it can be hard to find where to hunt and where to find birds. Asking online or locals (in my experience) is almost worthless because no one wants to share their knowledge/have extra pressure on their hunting spots. In contrast, I believe there is plenty of land options and with some respect/consideration, we can all hunt and have great memories. Stay tuned!

Hey @chrisherji- Just wanted to follow up with you now that we have released the video. We have an informational video that discusses some of the ways we approach finding places to hunt as public land using some of the newer technology options.
