Saw zero birds. I avoided Deercreek because Everyone goes there. Also any areas they do pheasant releases. My over all opinion is the ODNR habitat looks like what deer hunters think pheasants would like. In complete honesty my dog did suffer a non-hunting related cut to her paw so I had a...

This year I’m not going out of state to hunt, so I have decided the dog and I will focus on native Ohio pheasants. I know there are a few wild ones around and I’ll give it my best shot, but I m not overly optimistic. I’ll report back what I find. Have a good season.

The dog and I were in South Dakota for four days and hunted 3 of them. We hunted in wind, rain, sleet and snow. The weather changed every hour it seemed like. The weather really cut into out hunting time, we hunted just a couple hours in the morning and two in the evening, take the afternoons...

Today I went out and put a couple things in the car and it was lightly snowing, 45 mins later it was really coming down. Temps were about 25 degrees, winds were blowing, but not as bad as yesterday and it was snowing good, when we got to our first spot. It’s my favorite hunting spot in south...

I left my house in Ohio yesterday and it was 65 degrees. Drove through the night and it stayed in the mid sixties all the way to Sioux City. About there it started misting and getting Colder. By the time I got into South Dakota it was 38 degrees and pouring down rain. I went and ate some...

Thank you all for the ideas. I think I’m definitely going to head out to the Black Hills area. I’ve really wanted to see them. I looked at Custer state park and that looks awesome. I’ve never heard of the minute man museum , but that looks cool, also like the car museum. I’m not much of a...

I am headed out to South Dakota the second week of November. It will be just the dog and me. My plan is to hunt two days and take a rest day, let the dog and I relax. i have been out there several times and this is the pattern I like. We will be either in the Mitchell or Aberdeen area, my...

I go to South Dakota every year. This year I went first in late October. Hunting was ok but not great. I always wanted to do a late season hunt and this year I was able to sneak away and come back. So I got here this morning and hunted south of Mitchell. First thing is there was a lot of...

I'm looking ahead to the coming season and trying to decide where to hunt. I usually hunt public land around Mitchell S.D.. I have two French Brittany's, the older one has been out west a few times and does well. She was injured last season so we did make the trip. I took the younger dog for a...

Just came back from my annual trip to South Dakota. Spent five days hunting there. We were based out of Mitchell but tried to stay out away from there. Went up around Aberdeen one day. First two days were pretty good. Most birds were found either in the first or last hour of hunting...

The dog, a friend and I left Monday drove throught the night and got to mitchell Tues morning. We hunted public land in south of there. Found our first bird about ten minutes after starting. I got him, and we ended up putting up,about twenty more. That day ended kinda early because we were so...

I have been reading the forum here for awhile and thought I should finally join. The dog and I went to minnesota and South Dakota last season and had a great time. I am looking forward to going there again next season. I am in southwest Ohio . Thanks for reading.
