North Zone

*Bob Brown, Nodaway Valley, and Ted Shanks are often frozen solid by mid-December. If that occurs, we will stop holding a morning draw and initiate self check-in. If mild conditions return and morning draw is needed again, we will discontinue self check-in and return to morning draws. Call the waterfowl information lines to verify which system is in place prior to making hunting plans.
