Last season I planned a 7 day public land/ditch hunt. I wrestled with going from home in SW Utah to SD towing my 26’ 4 season trailer or driving just the truck and staying in motels. Towing the trailer meant more fuel cost and lower lodging cost. Driving the truck by itself meant lower fuel...

I finally reconciled myself to missing the late hunt out there. I'm bummed and my dog is mad at me :)

Following this thread and hoping to get in one more week before the season ended. Somewhere around Huron/Redfield but so far it's not looking good. Still crossing my fingers for a Jan thaw to make the 15 hour drive worth it.

Watching this thread with a lot of interest. Hunted out of Plankinton in late October last year and am hoping for a January thaw to get in one more hunt nearer the end fo the month. Thinking around Redfield this time. Looking at forecasts, reading these reports and crossing fingers. It’s a...

We used Pheasant Breast and this recipe for Thanksgiving dinner this year. Thanks SD and Danielle Prewett for a delicious dinner. Pan Roasted Pheasant Dijon

The website is http://www.hills-rv.com/ I was there with my dog for 8 nights and thought it was a decent place for the money. The cabins are set up with two queen beds and but with two men and a couple of dogs it would be too tight for me if planning on staying for a while. They have another...

I have a friend that will be hunting the Lower Brule Reservation next week with a few other guys that have been there before. I'll get some straight bird reports from him and post them and his experience .

Thanks for this! I'm coming from UT for my first SD Pheasant hunt and it's nice to have a visual of what these map references look like.

Looking forward to your opening week report !

After a dismal KS hunt last Dec when the pup was 8 months old I'm looking forward to getting him as much experience as possible with birds. If I happen to hit a few along the way so much the better :)

Following this with a lot of interest. I had to change my solo public land hunt week from the middle of Nov to starting Oct 22.

☝️ What he said.

BritChaser, I was talking with a Conservation Officer Supervisor and he was telling me about the expansion of corn planting on the west side of the river. where it used to be mostly wheat. If I understand what he was saying the Pheasant (and deer) followed the corn and hunting became better...

I'm going out to that area starting Nov 9 for a week. I looked at lodging options and found a Cabin in Plankinton, 20 miles or so east of Mitchell. Two queen beds, mini-fridge, microwave and dogs can stay inside. They also have a place for bird cleaning with a freezer. $75/night. Never been...

$121 will probably be the least expensive part of my hunt. Just pay it for the peace of mind of being legal.

Pete, Thanks for "the line" and general information. I went into ONX and drew it. My plan was to work roughly north and NE of Plankinton. That will take me towards the line and hopefully into birdy areas. This, and the other comments in this post give me some comfort in my choice. Now I...

Thanks for this. Making my first SD trip this November and it was a good overview of what to think about.

It's unanimous. I originally picked Plankinton but then seeing so much WPA instead of the Walk in, CREP and GMA mix I was expecting I started second guessing myself. A little more digging and I'm finding that WPA's aren't just for ducks and there is some other public stuff I can drive to...

Coming up from Utah for solo Pheasant Nov 10 for 7 days. Searched all the forums, looked at the harvest maps, spoke to conservation officers and scoured ONX. Originally settled on basing out of Plankington, but now I'm leaning towards Webster. Webster appears to have more public land with good...

Has anyone heard back from him about this?
