Your interpretation is correct. However, the 66' can vary. Sometimes it's less, sometimes more. Typically, you'll find a fence or a place where you can see the field begins.

Can you cite the source for that? The only rule I'm familiar with in South Dakota is that the vehicle must be parked as far to the right hand side of the road as possible. SDCL 41-9-1.5 reads "the motor vehicle by which the person has been transported to the hunting location has, to the...

I've been super happy with Boss 2 3/4", 4 shot. If you don't want to spend the $$$, I killed a lot of pheasants over the years with 3", 2 shot steel. But the Boss bismuth kills better.

That's a compliment of the highest order. I didn't see a can of coke'n'bacon in the feermz, though. Maybe you switched to Zyn???

Thumbs down. Goose would never subject his dogs to a trailer or any other sort of Gucci grabass on a South Dakota hunt, or anywhere for that matter.

It's harvested in July usually, a couple weeks before the spring wheat harvest. It's a great cover crop, keeps the weeds out and, for my personal pleasure, is usually good nesting/brood rearing habitat.

Winter wheat

I would guess sharptail grouse or possibly prairie chickens. The pic of the male prairie chicken that limitless posted is an exceptional specimen and an even better example of excellent outdoor photography skills,

Great videos, guys!!

Much like the elusive jackalope, the KBB is a notoriously sneaky creature. One that only the greatest of hunters could ever imagine to flush within gun range, let alone put in the vest. The blue back isn't feathers, it is a dazzling array of sapphires, likely from its origin near the world...

I'm never sure what bugs me more, the guys who are in denial about their tame chicken shoot or the guys who know that every bird in South Dakota is pen raised. Social media is such a toilet bowl of information, but sometimes I can't help but stare at the metaphorical dumped mud in wonder.

All in all, it sounds like a good trip. Do you have that Pierpont rooster at the taxidermist yet? :)

Alfalfa - minimum two years, often three or can be up to six. If the plan is to rotate back to corn/beans. My favorite piece of public ground used to have corn and beans by it and the past three years has been alfalfa. I don't shoot as many pheasants there now. :( Feels like I should be...

Conservation Officers are people, too. If one group of hunters gives the CO a tough time, then it will affect how the CO approaches the next group of hunters they encounter. Best practice is to be polite, give them what they ask for and get on with your day. :)

Great synopsis. Sorry to hear about the pup getting cut, but if tragedy strikes, it's always better to happen at the end of the trip and not the beginning!!

If you are hoping to have a successful hunt on South Dakota public land, it would be incredibly unwise to forego hunting GPA's and WPA's because of the non tox requirements, as those are the two best types of public land available for pheasant hunting. Just sayin'.

Kampeska roosters are among the most elusive in the state. Some folks don't even know they exist. ;) Hope you have a fun trip. Avoid off putting activities such as being a rube, playing grabass and paying to hunt.

We hunted one afternoon (quick limit, Sage was her normal self) and when I got home, I struggled to get her out of the truck. That night, she laid downstairs (which was weird) and shivered really hard. The next day, she was fine and I didn't think much more about it, but then she developed a...

Young birds are pretty dumb sometimes. Foxtail is a mean seed. When Sage got a hole in her lung a few years back, that is what the vets assumed was the cause. Last year, we got into a spot with some and that night, I'll bet I picked a dozen seed heads out of Sage's fur. The mothertrucking...
