    Winter’s coming!

    This is the weather I’ve been waiting for but the timing is not good. Ugh.

    New guy from Iowa

    Welcome. Overall a good group here, for the most part. 🤣🤣. Used to hunt in that area then during those down years you mentioned started going to SD and that has been the destination since. We all like dog pics so feel free to share some more.

    Kennel cover question

    I’ve not looked at temps next week but unless brutal low(below zero) I would t be too worried. Zip it close and will be good. Check after an hour and make sure not too warm and inside isn't sweating.

    Losing confidence in dog

    Not sure you have this option in your area or not? We have public dog training areas. You can buy birds and use the area to train on. instead of paying game farm price and labor for stocking and such you buy birds and take to the training grounds and release them yourself. COst around here...

    Best affordable lodge for a trip?

    Maybe he is bill gates? Largest land owns in the US. Think we are starting to put it all together.

    Best affordable lodge for a trip?

    I’m starting to think Goose may actually own a lodge and all the comments on here are to ease his guilt complex he has. 🤣🤣🤣

    Don’t forget your Gucci Yukon to get to the pheasant ranch.

    Lodging and unguided

    Turn your PM function on. May have a couple of leads for you. What part of the state are you looking for? Also are you looking for land access also or just a place to stay and gonna hunt public/on your own?

    Faulkton area

    Yes safe to say expect most corn to be out of the field. They got some cold temps end of last week but looking at the forecast I wouldn’t expect a lot of safe freezing to have happened. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

    Dog’s first bird!

    Congrats on you and Wilson’s first of hopefully many birds. No small feat at all!

    28 guage

    With the amount of travel costs and other costs to be in pheasant country I’ve always looked at the cost of good shells as a rounding error damn near in the grand scheme of things. If cheap shells are $14 and good shells are $20 that is $6 per box. In reality in 5 or 10 days of hunting how many...

    SD trip 2023

    Great post. I don’t disagree with your thoughts on the all inclusive. I have been on the all inclusive a few times. In my industry for years it was common to have multiple invites yearly for a SD trip. I always looked at them for what they were in my eyes, a social event that included shooting...

    Great trip to SD (not necessarily defined by numbers)

    Most important thing I read there was time spent with your boys and the memories that were made! You all will Yerkey those forever. The other thing is the learning you all had. Every year it gets easier. Choice of ammo also didn’t help you but that is part of the learning! Congrats on a good...

    SD trip 2023

    That is an incredible explanation IMO. As I mentioned earlier, and BB addresses, anything that a pay to hunt landowner does to improve habitat and bird numbers benefits me and all other hunters in some way or form. If it produces more birds it is a positive. After reading this I really think...

    Thank god I have a great wife!

    I’ve got a great wife, great, but she may have to up her game a bit to stay up with some of these others. 🤣🤣. Hard to spend much time chasing birds without a supportive wife or being single.
