I have a buddy that has shot a couple birds in the last couple weeks off the Niobrara River in western Cherry County. I don't know how birds are responding or how they are acting right now up there, he just sent me pictures of birds is all. I am heading to the Crawford area in the Pine Ridge Saturday to hunt some private ground I have and I'll report back after. I've been hunting in the North Platte River valley in the panhandle so far this season and birds have been responding well to calls and birds are finally breaking up from winter flocks.
