As far as the North Dakota hatch goes, there has been no official observations yet from the Game & Fish Dept. We are nearly 7" over the normal for moisture this year. which is alot for SW ND. Had another major hailstorm last week again in the Hettinger-Mott area. In my yard, most of my lilacs and bushes have drowned from weeks of standing water. On the up side, I have been starting to see family broods. Have seen some roosters that are showing color and some broods that are probably only 2-3 weeks old. Pretty wide range. Hopefully, the old hen's have been having multiple broods. Lot of tall grass this year making it hard to spot them. Does look hopeful for a decent season.
Have a great Day!--tr
