Title: North Dakota in November
Post by: ChukarBob on September 28, 2013, 01:05:59 PM: I will be driving to North Dakota in November and am looking for a rider to share the driving and travel expenses. I'll leave Seattle early morning on Friday, November 8 for a 2-day drive to ND for 2 weeks of bird hunting. Each day I will cover about 625 miles, weather permitting, until I reach my destination, Garrison, ND. I'll be departing North Dakota around Nov. 23 for the drive home. We'll share the gas expense, which I expect to be around $500 round trip, and pay for our own meals and lodging. I typically layover in Butte, MT at a Motel 6, which costs about $45.

Will be driving my well maintained Toyota Tacoma 4WD crew cab with studded snow tires and a canopy over the bed. My Labrador Retriever, Remy, rides in a crate in the back of the truck. I'll be taking some duck and goose decoys as well, although my focus in ND is pheasants. There should be room for your gear.

I am NOT looking for a hunting partner, just someone to share the travel expenses. When I get to ND, I will be meeting up with my brothers and cousins for some hunting. You would need to make your own arrangements once in ND. I could drop you off in Bismarck, Watford City, Garrison, New Town, Parshall as long as it's along my route to Garrison. No smoking or drinking in my vehicle.

If you're looking to bird hunt in ND and don't know the state, I can give you some helpful tips on where to find pheasant, sharptail grouse, and Hungarian partridge.

I realize that this is an odd offer for a ride, but thought I would toss it out there.
