    By "lobby", you mean you did your cooking down in the breakfast room of the hotel?

    What changes have you seen?

    I've only been hunting pheasants for the last 20 years, surprisingly since I grew up in SD then moved to MN after college. But I grew up in western SD hunting sharptail grouse, whitetail, mule deer, pronghorn, and shooting prairie dogs. There were no pheasants in the area I grew up and still...

    Eerie pheasant hunt occurrence in Iowa

    Interesting. A dead (or live) human might cause that reaction. But since you and your dog were likely working into the wind you probably would also have smelled a dead body yourself in addition to your dog. My guess is a large cat. For what it's worth, my male GSP likes to chase fox and...

    Where do the birds hide

    Close to harvested crops. The colder and snowier the weather, the thicker the cover they will be in.

    2017 Hunting Reports

    Hunted SW on Fri and Sat, 12/1 and 12/2. Great weather to be out! This is my GSP's 13th hunting season and he was pretty worn out by the afternoon of day 2. Friday was a success, we jumped about a dozen hens and 3 roosters, killed 2 roosters. The 2nd rooster was on the edge of cattails and...

    Field lunches, camp meals, trip dinners

    For evening meals when living sort of primitive I usually bring stuff that's easy to throw together and cook, or make at home and just reheat. Last month I did an elk hunt in CO and 2 guys camped next to us, we were all tent camping at the truck. They fed me one night and I found my new go-to...

    Any reports from hunters ?

    I agree and have killed pheasants on Waterfowl Production Areas. Those that have some cattails, weeds, sloughs, maybe a few trees, and especially those that border farm fields especially corn fields. Those Waterfowl Production Areas that happen to exist in an all-prairie area with no corn or...

    Any reports from hunters ?

    "That is why they generally have no trees and no food plots." I would add "and no pheasants". Seems like an opportunity, no?

    Any reports from hunters ?

    "It was rare to find a GPA with a good shelter belt or two, some sort of food source crop and a little cover." This is something SD lacks IMHO. Of the numerous public WMA's or WPA's in SD I've hunted I know of only a couple that have a corn or other type of food plot on them to attract...

    Any reports from hunters ?

    I recall around 2000-2003, the birds were doing well back then and it was before SD started the resident-only opener 1 week early, which is allowed on PUBLIC land only as a slap in the face to us NR public land hunters. Anyway, back then we had some great opening weekends with plenty of action...

    UPH Hunt

    511MN.org shows major road construction but no road closure on I494 through Plymouth. Maybe it won't be too bad on a Saturday morning. Or take I394 east to 169N to 694 then 94. I-494 in both directions: Roadway reduced to two lanes. share Between MN 55 (Plymouth) and I-94 (Maple Grove). The...

    UPH Hunt

    Hi, I am still on for this hunt. Bringing my 10 yr old GSP. I would prefer a 10am start. Coming from Bloomington, southwest metro. Anyone coming from my area want to carpool up there?

    how many dogs have obstruction surgery?

    It was a puffball cat toy about the size of a pingpong ball with a little rattle ball inside. Something brought into the house when my daughter's cat came to stay for a while. I should have known to get rid of that immediately. Surgery was last night and so far it sounds like recovery should...

    New trucks

    After looking at the vehicles in person and test driving some, I am going to stick with a Chevy (or GMC). Provided that I don't say to heck with those high prices and just keep driving my '99 Chevy.

    how many dogs have obstruction surgery?

    I have been lucky a few times in the past where my GSP ate something he was not supposed to, and may have caused a bout of diarrhea or vomiting but it passed through or came back up without major incident. He's now 10 years old. This time not so lucky, he's going into surgery for an...

    Perkins County?

    Perkins County has some good sharptail grouse hunting. That means a lot of miles walking prairie and ravines. A few big private-land walkin-areas for that, last time I checked. That could be a pretty lonely hunt if it's one person, not many people in that part of the country. There are some...
