When Southeast North Dakota peaks

DuckCast’s season model puts the mallard peak here around early November. This follows North Dakota's statewide curve; Southeast North Dakota hasn't needed a curve of its own. That is a modelled typical curve, not a prediction for any single year. The actual push depends on cold fronts and freeze-up upstream, which is what the daily score tracks. Always confirm season dates with North Dakota Game and Fish.
