I live in NE South Dakota and there are still snows around! I hung it up a few weeks ago figuring the cold spell that we had would have surely pushed snows out. I guess there is still good amounts at Scatterwood lake SW of town and plenty on Twin and Cottonwood lakes around Redfield. Its December 9th! I guess there's only 5,000 on Sand lake North of town, don't know about Putney. There saying there are over 30 Bald Eagles at Sand lake. I'd hate to be a crip' goose there
Good hunting,
JWG
