I've started using OnX and marking when I get to where the bird went down. So far it has helped. Comes in handy if you don't initially find the bird to circle down wind and know where your "spot" is.

We named him Onyx. Had him out eight times in the period you're allowed to train on GPA's. Seems to be getting the hang of it. When I get the coller and vest out he knows it's time.

Plan on getting the new puppy out for his first season. Did quite a bit of practice when the state allowed it from Aug to Sept. Hopefully he's gonna figure it out by the end of the season.

Could always bring a shotgun and buy a migratory bird stamp and say you're dove hunting. The dog just happened to get a pheasant up.

Kristi operates the GFP like the queen of hearts from Alice in wonderland. Disagree and it's off with your head.

The Missouri river in South Dakota.

Probably cause they aren't allowed to fish that water year round. LOL! Should hear it at the boat ramps about the blue plates at the river in the spring time. Sounds pretty similar.

The type of shotgun you are both using should have nothing to do with hitting birds. I've shot winchester expert steel for years and it has no issue with bringing birds down dead. The type of dog has nothing to do with it either. Could be a choke tube issue, depending on what you are using...

I have the same size lab and she fits in that kennel very nicely.

Certain places they are not allowed to tile. From what I've been told by some farmers I know.

Going to spend more money on CREP. From what I've seen in the last couple years there's not much use for that program. When the weather cooperates they're a useful piece of land. But since we've been in a drought they're nothing but mowed down parking lots. Kristi probably has some friends and...

The amount of hunters could of been due to it being opening weekend of east river deer season.

Went out Saturday and today. Ended Saturday with 2 but should of had 3. Ended today with one. Only hunted about two hours Saturday and an hour today. Started getting too hot to be running the dog.

Try applying for any of their limited draw tags. It's a massive hassle.

Coming out as fast as they can get it out along I-90 from Sioux Falls to Chamberlain.

Saw a hawk yesterday dive in after some pheasants. A handful flew out but could not tell what they were. Walked over to where I had seen the hawk and it flew away and found a pheasant about the size of a pigeon that the hawk had killed. Also saw birds in the same area that were full sized and...

Drove from Chamberlain to Sioux Falls taking backroads the whole way home. As far south as 44 and as far north as 34 and I can say with my own eyes there's a lot of public use fields that are shorter than my front yard. Did get the dog out in a couple of spots that had cover and let her run for...

My in-laws farm around Aberdeen. He said they were looking to start on beans at the beginning of October.

They sponsor the outdoor camp every year for high school age kids out in the hills. I attended when I was younger. It was a great week. Learned a lot about hunting, fishing and all things outdoor related.

The second to third weekend in Nov. Crops are mostly out. Not so cold that you can't pull the trigger. Most of the fair weather folks have called it for the season. Get to hunt east river before the deer hunters push through everything. Plus I don't have to worry about them sitting at every...
