How about the hotel named the lodge

Looking to make a run the last four days of the season. Any recommendations for a hotel that accepts dogs (setters), reasonably priced? Thx

Just feeling the desire with our seasons closed to get 1 more trip in. Used to frequent Kansas in the past until long term droughts persisted...sure miss that opportunity for quail and pheasant. You know your old when you think of the past all to often. Thanks for the replies bb et al.

Doesn't sound like a trip that I should undertake alone. The thought of getting stuck on a minimum maintenance road in January may be foolish. I have made 3 trips to SD since November and enjoyed myself and the 3 dogs immensely. Perhaps wisdom as a 64 year old should intervene and keep me home?

Considering a run to sd the last five days of the season. Inquiring about 1. snow depths in grasslands 2. Minimum maintenance roads 3. Icing on top of snow cutting dog pads Looking at east river - south of I90. Advice?

I concur, definitely wheat.

I'm in the market for a final rise vest, which model do you recommend? I'm thinking the Summit. I have a browning bird and lite, but carrying 2 - 32oz water bottles and a couple of pheasants feels heavy towards my back. And the water bottle holders seem alittle far back to reach. Or perhaps...

Any chance or predictions that there will be a substantial melting of snow before the end of January? Sure would like to make another run there if minimum maintenance roads become drivable. Not a fan of walking on crunchy snow and seeing my dogs have the edges of their pads cut..

How many inches of snow in the Mitchell- Chamberlin area? Would like to make another run after the first of the year. Imagine minimum maintenance roads impassable?

Given that license purchase, would you have to buy a habitat stamp for hunting season 24-25?

Well the name is very inviting..

Contemplating a third trip for five day hunt departing Thursday, weather permitting. Any recommendations for a motel or airbnb that allows dogs in this area?
