Some flickertail shooting fun on the North Dakota prairie

On this episode of Northland Open air, host Chad Koel and visitor Joe Klein take you to the prairie pothole area of North Dakota to hunt rodents.

Gophers and flickertakes, that’s.

The North Dakota prairie is an awe-inspiring place of idyllic views that stretch for miles. The central a part of the state with its tons of of undeveloped lakes and rolling hills of cropland and grassland is an outside lover’s paradise. Particularly within the fall when waterfowl upland chicken and large sport searching seasons draw hunters from throughout, however the lush heat summer time months aren’t with out their alternatives for taking pictures enjoyable.

Now earlier than we get too many complaints about taking pictures a small helpless forbidding critter, you must perceive that these little guys are extremely prolific. They breed — properly, like rodents — and so they’re extraordinarily damaging to pasture land. Due to the hundreds of holes they dig, huge holes that cows and different livestock can simply step in and break a leg. Ask any rancher within the state and so they’ll wish to eliminate as many of those little guys as doable.

That is only a super solution to get youngsters into taking pictures as a result of it is it is not loads of work and it is simply fixed enjoyable.
