    Another warm up coming!!!☀️☀️☀️

    End of The Year Report --- Went back week of 1-11, 2 guys and 3 Brits. Pretty cold and windy. Saw lots of birds - mostly hens, very few hunters. Birds were really spooky but we were able to get our birds. Birds usually held for the dogs, but flushed as we got close. Week of 1-26, one guy 2...

    2021 Pheasant Hunting Videos

    Great video. Had a 4 but my son liked it better than I did. Just got a 10. Just curious, what are you using to edit -Quik? Any recommendations to decrease wind noise? Thanks. Hopefully I'll have some video to share in a couple of weeks if the weather holds in SD.

    New Gloves!!!

    I've been using these for a couple of years for hunting and farm work and they are really good quality - not too thick or warm.

    How can they hay this much public ground

    Well said and could not agree more. The public land that I've hunted for 25 years, this year was not much different than previous years. The biggest difference were areas that typically didn't get planted as they are usually too wet and provided good cover surrounded by corn or beans, had been...

    A true triple?

    No I can't, at least not in time to qualify as a triple. I might carry the A5 if there are several in the party but most of the time the 625 is my go to gun. If I ever get a triple with the 625, I'll be sure to post it...

    Sportdog tek 1.5 any good

    I've had SportDog products for over 20 years and highly recommend them. Their customer service folks have always gone the extra mile to help me with any issues including my screw ups.

    Kennel Covers necessary under Topper?

    Good info jackrabbit. I have a 2 hole dog box that pretty much fills my truck bed and a topper. It easily carries 4 dogs but I'm now down to 3 that make the trip to SD. I also use the furniture blankets and when its really cold I also use a full size electric blanket on top of the box making...

    License split for next year (non-res)

    Bob, Not sure this will answer your question, but I bought a second NR 10 day license in January 2021(my third week) and was able to set the end date as January 31, 2022. Then had a new start date established for when I arrived this year in November.

    Tail feather

    When I took one into the local tail feather contest this year, you had to bring the whole undressed bird in and they pulled the feather. Not saying thats official or right just the way they did it. Does make some sense.

    How many birds each season?

    I'm well past the pain free age! Got me a new titanium knee in February and it worked pretty well first trip to SD. Stepped in a fence line gopher hole with it and it held up ok but was a scary moment. Glad you are getting better remy and good advice on not taking our health for granted.

    Chief upland vest

    Used mine for the first time last week. I've had several different vests over the decades and this one is by far the best. Incredible amount of customization with the molle system. When I ordered it I was concerned that the shoulder straps might be a little too thick and interfere with gun...

    How many birds each season?

    I hunted on some friend's property years ago, about a half section with a creek down the middle. He grazed cattle on it but was smart and didn't when it was wet. It always had good cover. When he retired he sold it to the state which made it a WPA. Now 4 years later 70% of it is choked with...

    REAL South Dakota 2021 review.

    Just got home. Only hunted 4 days - weather forecast ran this Southern boy out of SD and we lost half of one day to rain. My Fitbit says day one - 8.3 miles, day 2 - 11.3, day 3 - 9.1 and day 4 - 7.2. I agree with BB would much rather be hunting at the end of the day rather than a short day...

    South Dakota report week of 11/1

    Sitting in the motel. Rain started at 11. Only 1 bird today. Not sure if rain will stop in time to hunt anymore today. First day hunting was Sunday. First place was a quarter section I've hunted for 20 years and one of my favorites. Birds held, dogs did what their supposed to do, hunters...
