    Update from SE SD...

    Just spent four days hunting. The most birds I have ever seen and I have not missed a year since 1997. It was unreal and with the number of hens I saw, a mild winter makes next year promising as well.

    Prairie Grouse and Sharptails question...

    If I wanted to hunt at sun up, prior to pheasant hunting, and I generally knew where they were, how would I hunt them that early? Where would they be 30 minutes after sun up? Is there a daily migration to food, water, etc?

    Good Bird report, a new spot to try

    We hunt within 3 miles of a guy that releases birds and see or kill maybe 1 tame a year. He doesn't release on the scale a major operation would and road hunters from Sioux Falls get most of them.

    Late 1950s Sweet 16

    I have two and neither have ever jammed. A true nostalgic gunning experience.

    Meat handling while traveling

    We clean birds at the end of each day, leave whole with leg intact, and ice. We transport home, wash birds thoroughly, cut off leg, and vacuum seal for freezing...

    Looking good!

    My farmers still saying they are loaded with birds.

    How many of you let birds go?

    We let 90% go because nobody wants to mistakenly shoot a hen.

    Prairie Grouse

    I'm along the 44 corridor so got to get a little further west down there. At least that's what I've found.
