It's still possible to outwork the competition for space, but it's also quite possible to work your tail off to think you've found some only to have two crews come banging and clanging their way in to join you at LST.

I hunted it for pheasants and thoroughly enjoyed it. I drove from Valentine to Lacreek and had a limit on 30 minutes. And that's not "good pheasant hunting country".Did you enjoy LaCreek? I have a buddy who ranches just across the border to the south of LaCreek in Nebraska. They shot a banded mallard this past season that was banded there. The only NWR I've ever hunted is Crescent Lake, but it has been 13 years. You used to not see a soul out there and then it grew pretty crowded. The roads in are long and potholed. I never had any banger hunts there, but some solid hunts for sure.
I'd love to hunt it for waterfowl!
You're buddy there at Eli? There was a couple marshes right there I'd like to hunt.
You would like Valentine I'd bet

Yep he owns the "town" of Eli. He had a drake longtail duck on his pond several years back for about three days right before ice up and never had time he claims to go get it haha.

The biologist a Valentine shot one at Rat and Beaver a few years ago. Then the warden up there claims to have crippled one on Merritt
