I've done this multiple times. Best plan we ever came up with is sit there and let them land. It's pretty tough to keep the dog still and silent with all that action. Try to keep your eye on a rooster. Then we would head toward where it landed and try and get the dog on him. Seemed a lot of...

I know that sinking feeling in your chest when they come back dragging their leg. I've had my current lab tear her CCL about four years ago. We opted for the TPLO since she was five at the time. It's a lengthy process through recovery. Takes months like previously stated. They also told me the...

My dad left his turkey choke in my gun. Since we took my gun out turkey hunting in the spring. I found this out after I cleaned it around mid December. I've only let one bird get away so far this season. Shot about 20 so far. Maybe give that a try. Ha ha.

You are correct. This is for non residents. Residents we just have to buy one license for the whole year.

The white probably helped him half the year.

If they could take all those corn ethanol subsidies and put it into cellulosic ethanol research. In turn makeing it cost viable to create, then we could just have massive fields of switch grass instead of a sea of corn. Now that would be a wildlife enthusiasts dream.

After paying for TPLO on my lab we got it the next year. When we get the next dog we plan on getting a plan for it too. With the cost of that kind of surgery it's well worth it.

I skin, take wings and head off, leaving one foot. I do it all in the parking areas. Everything I take off the birds goes into a trash bag. When I get home, the bag goes in my regular trash and gets hauled out with all the rest every week. Also, usually come back with others trash also in said...

The three I grew up hunting over and the one I now own will point until the bird moves. If thee bird runs the dogs would/will give chase. If the bird twitches they will reposition. I have either walked in and flushed the bird or have told the dogs to get em and they'll dive in after the bird...

Bring an extra set if clothes so you can at least be in dry cloths when you get done.

I've found if it's really sunny and no clouds depending on which way the bird flies it can make it extremely hard to tell what they are. I prefer cloudy days and having my yellow or orange glasses on. That being said I shot two birds last Friday under blue bird skies and I was thinking to myself...

Got a true double and a single today in 25 minutes. It was bluebird skies, slight breeze and 40's out. Pretty much the days I dream about. Asher pointed a bird after trailing it to a corner in the field. Up in gets right in the sun. No idea what it is, then cackle cackle cackle. So pulled the...

The opening weekend/week gets worse every year. I gave up on it about 6 years ago. Shooting time used to be noon. You could show up at nine and get your spot all staked out. Then right at shooting time here they come. They hop out and walk right in front of you. I've cut some of these people...

If you're planning on doing your five days consecutive your posession limit can still only be 15. Which is 5 days limits. It really depends on what time of year you come on where and what type of cover you should be looking for. I stay off the sloughs when they ice up. I've iced fished on lakes...

Fishing should be really good that time of year by the dams along the Missouri river.

I have the single state one for SD and can say it works very well. Usually download maps for offline use since where I deer hunt west river there is usually minimal signal if one at all. If you read the directions and use it right it is very accurate. I know where some of the survey markers are...

Took yesterday off due to the wind and heat. Headed to spot I've had my eye on for two years and decided to give it a go after it looking sub par last year. Was not disappointed.

Made it out for resident opener, also my birthday. Had a good time with my father and my dog. Went to an area that we have hunted a lot in my life. We weren't disappointed. Got our six roosters by noon after starting at ten. I only missed one long shot and got a good laugh at my dad as he...

I think Plankinton has an RV park as well.

I gave up opening weekend here in SD about five years ago. Still go out for the resident season the weekend before though.
