It was also so the resort gucci grabassers could partake all night of south dakotas finest food drink and dancers and still be able to go in the field at opening hour of noon. Personally, I like Iowas starting at 8:30 and ending at 4:30, but Im sure that ending time wont set real well in SD.

You dog killed a couple laying hens, or one of the sisters killed them? :)

SE SD, Sold it tonight...

Just drove from SE SD to Groton twice last week. I thought the same thing. At least thought I would see a road kill anyway..

Before I moved to SD, I had to travel an hour and a half to get to Sioux Falls. Given the ten am start time, it was easy to do even a day trip, but not worth wasting 4 days on my NR license. I suggested to the state a 9 day license divisible in three day stints which wouldve worked great for...

Going to at least "feel" like winter next week. :)

We put the hurt on coyotes spot and stalk for several several years after that when the fox thinned out. I shouldve said this was the last fox I shot, not fur. Then, the gun laws changed, the state laws changed and truck hunting became popular and everything changed for us. Now, youve got...

Having started my new (and last) home in early November building by myself, it has pretty much wrecked two seasons for me. I only hunted 2 1/2 days this year (to date) Hunting was great when I went, but id have to rate my season a 4. Hopefully next year gets me back on track

As of Saturday, Ft Dodge area had no snow. My brother from Spirit Lake called me this morning and said the pheasants and deer are in trouble in the snow belt if they dont have woody cover and a livestock operation in close proximity..

I spent most of the holidays working on my house, but did take a couple drives with binoculars and spotting scope. I live 1 mile in from the eastern border in Minnehaha county. We have alot of snow right now and more expected. I took a drive up north thru Moody county on the way Pipestone mn...

4.7 inches in a little over an hour in Garretson SD. Lots of wind, but no damage for us. Nothing left for the storms to wreck from the one 6 weeks ago.

I cut my expenses dramatically by moving to South Dakota a year and a half ago. I'm not in great bird country, but it's not far. 1 hour to great hunting, 2 hours to the cabin at Chamberlain, compared to previously at 3:45. My lodging expenses are amortized out over 12 months x .5 because I...

I hope they like June Bugs. Holy crap!.. I thought I was in a hail storm last Friday night heading to the cabin.

Staying home? Nope, Ive even made 7 trips to Chamberlain to boat fish since season ended.. If not for the house build, Id be there again now.

I've built homes my whole life. At 64, I did not want to build this one on my own, but with prices they way they were, I decided to tackle it to save money on labor to go towards materials. I've been able to get this 2 story house to the roof truss stage so far with help from a high school...
