Well I know the reports will start pouring in around 10-12 days from now. I kinda own this topic for the last years. I thought I would jump on a go to location. Expecting the results to be very poor to worthless. I am back home now. Spent 14 days harvesting, saw more deer than birds. Drought was...

I am sorry to report the bad news. I have been helping Grandpa harvest beans for the last 3 days, just West of Pierre. We have seen one hen and one rooster. This season is going to be horrible. I do not know what else to say. I wish I could report better news. This is boots on the ground...

We had six guys out in the field yesterday. Averaging around .5 birds per guy. Greg and Cory who were in our hunting group ran across a guy and a girl in a parked car. Needless to say he was having a good hunt. As Greg and Cory walked by they never missed a beat. I guess he had a good Rooster...

Well fellow hunters, the time is nearing. Spoke with my Grandpa today and the machines are going to roll out of the shed next week. Going to cut some silage for the cattle. Everything in the State is very dry and looks like a super early crop harvest. He thought in two week the bean harvest will...

I just spoke with the private land we hunt on this fall. Both of the farmers...6000 acres total, Both said NOT to come out for opening weekend. Harvest will not begin until late October. Looking at the USDA Harvest data, it concurred the farmers report. Last year with the numbers way down, we...

I was talking to some DNR boys at the truck stop. One mentioned the government shut down has reduced their hours for hunting checks. Should be a good deal for anyone coming up short on cash for a hunting license.

Sitting out on Grandpa's farm today. Looking at 6 cocks and two hens eating some corn by the grain bins. Man, I could take one so easy. Been here all week helping Grandpa out with chores. Waiting for all my Illinois boys to meet up. Beer drinking to start soon and a breast would taste awful good...

I just spoke with Dan and Pete from the DNR. They were out looking for some good ground opening weekend to hunt. I was shocked and asked them if they had to work. With all the cuts in the state budget, they are not required to work the opener. Do not get me wrong. Agents will be out that need to...
