I totally hear ya man! It is so depressing having to come back to WI and hunt waterfowl after being horded with ducks all day in North Dakota. We have thought about applying for South Dakota waterfowl licenses, but we're plenty happy with over-the-counter North Dakota licenses and still having success! It's about a 10-11 hour drive from the central part of Wisconsin, so it's a little bit of a haul! Totally worth it though!
