Not sure how many of you snow ski but they actually have a really big problem with this against trees and poles on the hills. People fall in the holes where there is no snow. This is called a tree well and if you fall in head first and nobody is there to help you you’re good as done.

I’m in chamberlain right now. It’s almost 40 deg. Will melt fast at this rate.

I went north of Mitchell yesterday and there was a big difference between there and south of interstate. Hardly any snow up north of Mitchell compared to south. If you don’t want to deal with snow stay north. Got 5 yesterday. Ones we got held tight. Also like somebody said roads were awfully wet...

I was south of interstate between Mitchell and chamberlain and I was walking in 6-8 inches of snow. Edges are awful for getting in and out of a field as to drifts are up to your hips. I say this jokingly but it’s true if you have soccer shinguards you might think about wearing them because the...

We had to stop in murdo and this picture is outside our door. Couldn’t even park in front of our room. Trying to get to chamberlain.

I 90 is closed this evening from Mitchell to rapid city.

As painful as it is, hopefully the kid learned a lesson.

Where in Idaho?

I’ve stayed at quality inn and days inn and both are dog friendly. They didn’t have cleaning stations but I’ve cleaned birds at their dump bins without problems.

One thing I will say. When it comes to WPA and GPA they will probably be around if my kids decide to hunt. CREPs and WIA aren’t always guaranteed. So I’m a big fan of GPA and WPA but I’m grateful for all public land opportunities.

I have found that middle of the day can be tough to hunt birds as is. Usually can do pretty well in a big field in the morning or closer to the end of the day. So I have found that if I can hunt a good size field from 10:00-12:00/1:00 and then find a couple of ditches to hunt between that...

I usually go to South Dakota the week of Thanksgiving but I have more days off then I know what to do with so I decided to take a week off and go to South Dakota. I have to say, we did really well this year. My dad and I have 2 black labs and they hunted their hearts out. We stayed at the Super...

I leave tomorrow to drive to South Dakota and start hunting Tuesday. I’m with you and would like to know how people are doing.

You’re correct because around rapid city you can start hunting at 9:00 am.

I might add though, what time zone were you in? You can hunt at 9:00 if you’re in the western part of the state in mountain time zone.
