Nice work Hansen. Some good looking birds in that bunch.
MN definitely benefited this fall by having ND mostly frozen when the birds started coming down. Hell ND was mostly froze before Canada this fall. Seems like way more birds made their way through the state this year due to that, and not just mallards. There are still guys shooting them up in ND but I think a lot of their birds came through our state this fall.
About 10 years ago we had a fall like this and MN had some amazing bird numbers that year as well. I saw the largest staging flocks of divers that fall that I've seen. The roar when they got up to head south was very impressive.
