    Your Experience With This?

    some buddies and I tried to make a “last weekend of the season” trip to SD in Jan 2023. Unfortunately, the area we were planning to go was snowed under and we had to make a last minute change of destination. A mutual friend of one of our group recommended Upland Inn. UI was able to accommodate...

She chased a cat throught the kitchen and slid across the tile floor into the cabinet. i was in the living room and heard the commotion. She started yelping and when she tried to stand up, her rear right leg was dangling...

    End of season reflections…

    I’ve got two 5-day SD trips in already this year, with a third planned for the last weekend of the season. The first trip was a two-man, 3-dog public land adventure and we put 2-man limits in the air within gun range everyday. The second was a 2-day public, 3-day guided hunt in early December...

    SD trip 2023

    I live in Mississippi. I suspect the nearest ringneck is at least 9 hours away, if not further. It’s been my experience that whitetail and waterfowl are the most popular species to hunt here at home. Our state has about 600,000 acres of public hunting land, mostly in the form of Wildlife...

Anyway, there is apparently a court case in SD which the court said if a hen was killed, the violation is possession and if a hen is killed, the lawful solution is to leave it in the field. Edited...

    Keeping pen raised quail/pheasant.

    I have a friend who raises his own quail. He has an old tool shed that is about 20x40. He has half of it netted off and keeps the quail in there. Keeps them out of the weather and keeps critters away
