Looking for lodging 11/10 through 11/12 around Miller. Does anyone know of any rentals, lodges, etc for lodging only or possibly one day of hunting with 3 nights of lodging? Any help/info is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Doug

Hunting near Onida/Pierre...had private land secured but fell through. We've hunted public the last 2 days with 7 guys, 10 dogs, over 20 miles of walking, and have 2 birds to show for it. Looking for some private land with reasonable trespass fees for tomorrow and or Saturday. Any help is...

How did everyone do? We had a group of 3 with 4 pointers of varying experience on the ground and were shut out. Hunted Central Illinois waterways with 25 yard wide grass strips and put up very few birds, six in 3 hours of hunting. No doubt the standing corn nearby and the strong winds from...

A small group of us will be hunting near Onida the second week of November and are in need of hotel/lodging for 1 or 2 nights. The first couple of days we will be hunting near Miller before moving on to Onida so if there is anything between Miller and Onida you would recommend I'd appreciate...

The farmer who's land we usually hunt is unfortunately going in for emergency surgery. He should be fine but he's a friend and we are all concerned for his health. Our hunt was scheduled for next Thursday through Saturday, 12/5 - 7. In an effort to salvage our trip we thought we would try...

We are looking for a Brittany, started or pup, from quality lines that first and foremost has a good temperament. I probably pheasant hunt 12 to 15 days a year so the rest of the year the dog will be in the house and must be calm and biddable. We purchased our last Brittany from a trainer as a...

A long time buddy and I took our sons out for the first time opening day. Great cover produced a good number of flushes and solid points from my buddy and I's brittanies. For my buddy it was three generations in the field for opening day as his Dad joined us. Kind of bittersweet though as I...

Will be hunting private ground in the Miller area next week, 11/29 - 12/1. Might need access to additional private ground one of those days. Our group consists of 5 ethical and responsible hunters, fathers and adult sons, with 3 brittanies. Willing to pay a reasonable trespass fee for land...

I have a 5 year old female Brittany that is broke to wing and shot. She is my first pointing dog, I bought her trained at 2 and a half years old. I mainly hunt wild pheasant with her 6 to 10 times a season with an occasional ruffed grouse hunt and game farm hunt thrown in. My question/concern...

Went for an hour or so to get the dog some work primarily. We did alright, she had a nice solid point on the rooster in the picture and then located the crippled bird after I winged it. That was all we had an opportunity at but all in all it was a good morning, dog got some exercise, I got to...
