    Where do they think this stuff up ?

    Yes, we need to relax. It is all in God's hands.

    Huntable Areas?!?!?

    We have a lot of snow with ice under that. Any good cover is going to have much snow. Food is hard to find, I am sure we have lost a fair percentage of birds. State trapper told me yesterday that they have found a lot of dead birds.

    I believe Aberdeen area will disappoint you. I don't know about Huron, Mitchell to Sioux Falls is deep. The south just got buried. Maybe ice fishing would be a better choice.

    From Brookings County Wildlife Federation on ...

    Thank you and Bob too. I have seen one live hen since the weather has let up. I have not looked for any as I don't want to disturb them.

    I am not wildlife biologist I am just a guy that has hunted the same land for about 60 years. I have run a hunting business for about 20 years. In the example I mentioned earlier when we shot our limit in 20 minutes because all the pheasants were in the only good cover available, when we...

    Thank you Goose, you have made my point perfectly. Pheasants can be anywhere they want to be, so they are in the best place that they can find. Along comes the hunter and they have to leave and find the second best place to be. If they are full and the weather is not too tough, no problem...

    Unhappy with my home state (MN) hunters.

    I have been in the hunting business for about 20 years. Of all those hunters there was only one group that I asked to leave because of their whining and complete lack of hunting ability, and one individual that I don't want back. Other than that, the hunters have been very good, and many have...

    30 dead birds and they came through in good shape? Thats the ones he found, good thing it wasn't a bad storm. Another one coming Monday so maybe it would be good to let them have a break.

    Most Unusual Double

    I once shot two roosters with one shot.

    Huntable Areas?!?!?

    By now we should have reduced the rooster percentage enough. If I was a hen pheasant, I would want to be left alone. Many years ago we had a group that surrounded a shelterbelt the last weekend of the season. It was bitter cold and windy, we shot pheasants that were coming back in as we were...

    If the GFP had any sense they would shut it down. I bet they don't.

    Huntable Areas?!?!?

    [ am 35 miles west of Aberdeen and I would discourage any hunting anywhere near here. I talked to a friend in Springfield who said it wasn't too deep there. I have no idea about hunting there. I am still snowed in.
