Ahhh .... You young whippernappers wait until you cross the 8th decade threshold. Just FYI its not a linear decline - its a curve sharply getting steeper. Have to admit on my January hunt in SD last year the snow drifts whipped me like never before. Thank goodness there were birds to be had. I...

I've talked to the one that covers the area where I hunt in SD. Obviously its just general information.

Just received my Chief Upland vest. Its well designed and seems well made. With the molle system its easy to customize and lots of neat features and front loading. It could also make a great turkey vest. So far -- I'm impressed. Looked on Amazon for molle accessories and there is a bunch.

Welcome abroad.

Speeding ticket in Sioux City via radar camera north side on I 29. The Illinois ticket was 20 years ago, I 57, and I was pulling my dog trailer, didn't notice that the speed limit was lower if you had a trailer in tow.

Been there done that. Illinois will get you too.

Shouldn't be too crowded mid Nov, still the further from town the better. Use sdgfp maps. Knock on some doors. Scout before 10. Waterproof boots for cattails!

Awesome offer. I'll be in SD that week, but Huron is a little too far away. Good luck!!

Exactly. I use the tone not as a recall, but I expect my dogs to turn back toward me at tone. Recall is dog name, "Here" or whistle. I can't hear the tone if I'm 10 feet away so it makes little sound. If they don't turn to where I can see them, I assume a point first and go toward the last...

Good luck to all getting to enjoy the SD NR opener tomorrow. Leave a few birds for us arriving later in the season. Its 3 weeks before I make it to SD. Be safe and good shooting!

Dog first aid kits -2. Small one I carry with me. Larger one in the truck. Phone numbers for local vets and emergency vet.

I agree. It would be important to have valid hunting license for the multiple states should - in what I think would be highly unlikely - that you were checked. I can't imagine a CO just randomly knocking on a door to check a freezer unless someone tipped them off. I think the possession limit...

What gauge does the younger, handsome fella shoot?

"... rounding third, heading for home" -- Yea that fits. Welcome.

I'm with you. I don't hunt pheasants in order to feed my family. Its a recreation. Something I do for enjoyment. I have benefitted for decades from CRP,CREP and public hunting areas and so have pheasants. If the farmers are playing by the established rules and are EH to feed their livestock...

sjohn has pretty much captured my thoughts and feelings. I think stopping the survey was a mistake that hopefully will be reversed if the backlash is anything like it seems to be, but as sjohn said it will not and has not ever made a difference in whether I go, where I go, or how many trips I...

OK BB you hit a nerve, in this case a good one. Couldn't agree with you more. Almost 3 decades of trips to SD and I hadn't thought of the church reference but it is like a religion. Lots of chatter about droughts, bird numbers, surveys - all interesting read, but it doesn't really matter -- I'm...

SD 2021 Hunting and Trapping Handbook spends almost a full page on hunting RR right of ways -- page 82. Memory tells me its pretty much the same as 2020. Interesting it seems to say some of the Mitchell to Rapid City MRC line is open to small game hunting from Hwy 83 to Kadoka, maybe 40 miles...
