Is it worth going to North Dakota, yes. The Dickinson area has sharptails, huns and pheasants. The PlOTs program opens up a lot of private ground to the public. There are also state wildlife areas. You will have to work for your birds, figure out what the birds are doing to avoid hunters and do something different. If I had the money I would go in a heart beat. make sure you and your dog are ready for the weather.
