The new atlas lists properties I hunted last year that I definitely want to return to. I was worried we would lose a bunch but thankfully don’t see much change. Anyone notice much change?

I shot one early one morning during late season pheasant. I heard they aren’t that great to eat- I loved it! I’m wondering if it’s more effective to hunt them in September.

I’m sure something will be in place that makes sense for NR hunters to travel. NR hunters have too much money wrapped up in Sd for 2 to 3 months -No way SD will turn a cheek

Great thread. I’m going to look into sound gear and wildear. I need hearing protection to keep what I have left, but I can’t hear anything when I’m wearing plugs or muffs therefore I need amplification too

I’ll more than likely be camping out of my cargo trailer this season.

I’ll be there this season as usual unless covid gets in the way. I worry it may indeed be a game changer. once cooler weather and flu season kicks off- it’ll be interesting to see how this impacts covid....

I would put priority on the bigger bird and go with 5’s. You can’t kill a quail anymore than dead once ! But you sure can cripple and lose pheasant all day long. On another note, I kill more than most when it comes to bobs( we don’t have many pheasant here at home)- After many years of having...

How does the harvest look in SE SD?

Good luck this weekend Folks! It's a little warmer than I would like but it's still better than not going out at all!

We are heading to north Dakota in a week! This will be our first time to N.D. , first time chasing sharpies. Lord knows how long my brother and I have talked about doing this! Finally we are going to be able to scratch this one off the bucket list. We are pumped needless to say. We are taking...

So I picked up a GSP pup late last winter. I've been working "Ruby" on obedience, commands and finally on birds. At 9 months old, She is finding, pointing and holding her birds(planted homing pigeons). I think she is ready for me to shoot some birds (controlled) over her. She has a very strong...

I'm trying to get a hold of Charlie Rose as I am trying to register a little female pup I picked from him late last winter. He hasn't responded to any of my messages-does anyone know if he is doing alright?

Well , coming off of 2 great seasons to be following a pointing dog, this past season was quite frustrating to say the least. We just didn't have the birds in the rolling plains where I hunt. I went out one time(January) just to run dogs... I left the shotgun in the truck. It felt good to get...

I was able to get 4 days off before I got really busy with work. Really wanted to head to SD (instead of kansas- which is a lot closer to me). I went alone with Lilly, 3 yr old gsp . We got to SE SD Saturday afternoon about 3 30 and decided to scout for public land backing up to freshly...

I'm excited to have a little unexpected time off and am wanting to run a dog for a few days. Looking to leave Texas on Saturday o400 and not return till late in the week. I'll be solo with or 2 dogs. Anyone know condition of harvest and water in central Kansas or mitchel/Chamberlain SD area?

My daughters are on their Xmas break from school. They have never been quail hunting with a dog and kept expressing an interest yesterday. I asked my wife if she would like a kitchen pass, I'll take the girls hunting with our dog Lilly. I'm not sure who was more excited , me or them! We got the...

I've been working alot this season and haven't really had much opportunities in the field to bird hunt. I finally got out with my brother and our gsp`s this week. Last spring, I acquired a property for birdhunting so we made the 4 1/2 hr ride the night before. We got in late so we decided to...

I've been working my tail off this year and haven`t had a chance to really run dogs on birds. I`m really wanting to get away. I`m contemplating on heading to Kansas probably second week of January. Am I crazy for wanting to go this late into the season?!! I really want to focus on pheasant but...

I've been putting in some time researching for this up-coming pheasant season . I've never been to SD, this will be my first trip. There's a lot to cover-very overwhelming. Has anyone hunted any indian land for pheasant/upland birds? Wondering if this is something I should consider. Any...

Yesterday was the last day of our quail season. I had a busy day Saturday , I could only go Sunday/the last day of the season. It's a 5 hour ride to the ranch. I couldn't get anyone to tag along for just a day....what we'll do to get on birds. :rolleyes: I have a kid at work in his early 20's...
