That’s an AI overview…my source comes from a newspaper article from 2004 and a write up from pheasant forever, pretty sure my info is more accurate.

Opened in November in 2004…

Grouse are fairly easy to bring down so light loads will work just fine...I still prefer 6 shot in case some shots happen to be a little further. If it is windy the birds will be on the leeward side of hills to get out of the wind. Otherwise it comes down to a lot of miles on the boots...

Nice! did you see many other chickens? I went out opening day to a spot close to home that has a very small chicken population and got the only one I saw. Did find a roost spot where a few had roosted though. The grass in this particular spot was extremely tall compared to past years, I...

Are you happy with the vest? It looks pretty good for the price based off the pics.

If you have a good dog trust the dog. Don't have the mindset of walking from point A to point B, if the dog catches a scent follow them no matter what even if it means walking places you've already been. Hunting solo is my favorite for this reason...I don't like hunting in groups where we try...

I am looking into getting a Garmin Fenix watch to pair with my 550 plus handheld…is there any advantage in buying the newer versions of the watch or would I be fine with the Fenix 3? I’m pretty much only going to use the watch for hunting so if the newer updated watches don’t have improvements...

Nice stats! I’ve always been interested in things like this and need to start keeping track of my own hunting stats better. Did you see many chukars with not many shot opportunities?

Well after a few more vet visits and a referral to Kansas State vet clinic we think/hope that they finally found what is wrong with him...Discospondylitis. It is an infection in the spine that could be either bacterial or fungal, we are praying for bacterial as the fungal type is almost...

Update: Well the vet isn't 100% sure on what is going on yet but thinks it could be hip dysplasia or leg-calve-perthes disease, they are leaning more towards the hip dysplasia but need to do some more tests. Also to throw things on top of it my dog had a baseball sized abscess form almost over...

Yes, I believe they did a Lymes test on him when I took him to the vet.

Recently my 4 1/2 year old Brittany dog Rigby has been stiff and in pain in what appears to be his hind end. I first noticed a couple weeks ago when I would let him out of his crate in the morning that he seemed extra stiff and was walking with a different gait than usual. Well last week he...

I saw a thread like this on another forum and thought it would be good to see what people came up with on the subject here. If you had 10 days to take a bird hunting trip where would you go? Nothing specific just general areas. Would you hunt multiple species? Would you split the trip up and go...

Thanks, I could see people being more supportive of a local group like that where they know the funds raised will be used 100% locally.

What is the Pro Pheasants group? Is it a South Dakota thing or national?
