How many states

RE: How many states
We hunt them in ND, I've only done it once though - and went out to the western portion of the state to do it. There's not as many in the eastern portion of the state. As far as taste, some people hate them, some love them. I'm in between.

RE: How many states
I have had a tag once in SD with no luck. 5$ a tag. The next year I could have shot them on an extremely windy day flying off their roost over the road like 5 YARDS HIGH but didn't have a tag. I heard they are not good eating and that if you send your dog after a cripple they will peck it's eyes out!!
