Well I would rather spend a day less in South Dakota than to spend a couple days more in Kansas. That said mid to late December can be interesting in South Dakota. With the crops being out you will see a lot of birds for sure but the weather can be brutal this time of year

More than likely M44 launchers . Look them up they are nasty. I saw a couple West River one year they bait them and when triggered it blows cyanide out. I wouldn’t be anywhere near them.

Looks like a great time. One of my best memories are the prairie chicken hunts in SE kansas back in the 70’s. I hope you cut that receiver off and buried it out there. If you took it home with you they will now know where you live and how to get to your house.

Looks like a great time.

You aren’t lying. In fact there were a lot of hunters that went in and around Perry back then. I had some good hunts up north of topeka even into the early 2000’s. I drive that area now often for work. I saw a mature rooster a couple summers ago, but haven’t seen one since.

Even without dogs a road hunter could do quite well hunting ditches and small spots. It is perfect for a couple old guys to spend a day. Hunting in SD is not like Kansas. Growing up I spent many opening days in western Kansas hunting the vast fields of stubble and weeds. Not that you won’t find...

Twenty years ago I started making a trip to Sand Lake up by Aberdeen to hunt the refuge when it opened after Deer season. On the northwest side part of it borders a commercial hunting operation. We would pick up a few refugees along the fence where they intersected. One time we were breaking for...

Maybe he meant “ Trucks are bringing multiple hatches” 😂💪

It totally depends on how far you travel. For me it is 8 hours give or take each way. That doesn’t lend itself to day or even two day trips. Counting travel it is a 6-7 day investment regardless of how do it. I have made 4 trips in a year but now usually twice. The 150 license is the least of my...

This was always my experience until my last Lab. He was a weird one. As a flushing Lab he ground scented everything until the age of three then he did both. This was especially true if hunting into a decent breeze. I have pictures of him standing at the beginning of the draw, head held high and...

I switched to a 16 about 12-15 years ago and also have a 20 auto. Shoot Fiocci 5s year round and seam to do okay. I shoot steel 4’s when I have to. I don’t shoot at anything over 35-40 yards and I have a dog that loves to retrieve. I don’t need to kill drop a bird a 60+ yards… it’s not that...

No kidding… shot tons of birds when I was a kid with a 20 gauge pump and whatever shells dad bought off the shelf. We hunted where there were a fair amount of quail so we often use 7.5 loads. No way I’m blowing my shoulder up with bazooka shells all weekend.

That’s awesome…. Unfortunately organizations often become trapped by their own success. It seems a unfortunately as organizations become large their thinking becomes narrow minded. They become more focused with fundraising and money to feed the beast than the end result of the efforts that...

You may want to recalibrate…. Your AI responses seem to be stuck in a loop again.

Okay not to be negative but….. You join on Monday and your first post is about 6k acres in Goodland you’re wanting to share…. And an email address…. Seems a little strange to me

Enjoying reading for sure. While I am not old enough to have hunted in the 60’s, the 70’s were pretty darn good. I remember leaving around noon on Friday before the opener from eastern Kansas. Seemed like half the cars we passed were full of hunters. At Hays where we turned north, the restaurant...

So my wife only gives extremely high value/ high quality treats. It has gotten so bad our dogs have turned into treat snobs. When the gal at the bank or hardware store tries to give them a milk bone or an old Roy, they sniff it and turn their noses up and drop it

I remember being at Dakota Mart in Pierre the Friday evening before the Non Resident opener back before you could get your license online. Downstairs at the sporting goods counter people were three deep all around the counter buying licenses, ammo and even guns. It was nuts but a good experience...

You will probably get different views on ammo as everyone has an opinion. I strictly shoot a 16 ga Citori on pheasant and or grouse. I shoot 2 3/4 # 5 lead and 4’s in steel. I really haven’t had an issue with either.

I would agree with twenty percent or less of my labs
