Good Bird report, a new spot to try

How are we supposed to kill a few pheasants? The pure, truly wild birds are impossible to kill…way too smart, cunning, and beguiling for an average guy like me. Definitely need to dumb them down, make them quasi-handicapped, etc, by hooking them up with the pen raised variety…SD has it figured out. You see them…they eventually flush, but merely coasting…I can finish my phone call, or my online sports gambling transaction, etc, and still mount the gun and get the bird, usually they land close enough to ground pound them anyway. I’m tired from 3 sharptail hunts by the time pheasant opens..I’m not gonna walk and do all that…golf cart, Vespa, moped, skateboard, whatever…shoot when stopped, easier that way….coming quickly!
 
I always thought the Minnesota roosters were harder to harvest due to too many hunters chasing too few birds on too few lands, compared to South Dakota. But when a guy takes into account the genetic manipulation to handicap the SD birds, it all makes sense.

Rumor has it, some folks in the fine state of South Dakota even shoot them out of ditches. Kind of like shooting fish in a barrel, I guess. But hey, it's legal and I bet it provides a sense of accomplishment, even if shooting dumbed down mutant birds in a ditch isn't the type of fair chase found in other states. More power to 'em.

(Insert obligatory smart @ss disclaimer here: I've been one of the SD ditch shooters on occasion. But I don't consider myself a ditch addict. I can stop anytime I want.)

And then you have these places that charge people five grand for 3 days of shooting these dumb down birds, and then grabbing ass, and having cocktails.
 
They soak corn in fireball and dump it in the ditches…that’s why so many NR hunters spend so much time in ditches…get on all fours, like you’re tracking a bird, and gulp down the fire corn….major buzz! Drunk birds, drunk hunters…can’t wait! Wrestle them buzzed birds if u can’t hit ‘em…

I guess I haven't been doing the ditch hunting the right way. Learn something new all the time.
 
To be 100% clear, on this fine rooster shooting eve, all us non-South Dakota folks are jealous of the pheasant hunting you have there. We know you have it over us. You know you have it over us. Our only defense is a good razzing now and then.

Good luck to all the hunters getting after 'em tomorrow!

I hear south dakota excels when it comes to flare nares. Even let them mingle and breed with the pure blood birds. Although, at this point, are they really pure blood?

I would say if you are within 10 mi of one of those grab ass fondue farms, the birds would be intermingled with dumb birds.
