Can't really ask for better customer service than that.

The people I know in North Central SD that are 60 years and older says it’s one of if not THE worst winter in their lifetimes. Shouldn’t hurt the birds at all.

In other news the inflation rate is at a 100 year low.

No Fall Pheasant next?

Yes, every year. It's a state contract. I have a friend that occasionally flies (literally) shotgun for him. I believe they are using a Cub with the doors taken off. Says wearing your snowmobile gear isn't enough to keep you warm! Mostly though I think the pilot does the flying and the...

Well, one of the the SD state authorized and paid contract airborne coyote hunters is just 8 shy of 3000 killed coyotes so far this year. He figures he has about 2 more weeks of hunting, so it'll be over 3000 this year. So what does GF&P really think about coyotes?

Good catch Munster. Oops. Didn't clip enough in the screen grab. It's Scheels. https://www.scheels.com/p/federal-premium-upland-pheasants-forever-high-velocity-16-gauge-shotshells/29465-PF163.html?cgid=ammunition-shotgun#prefn1=Gauge&prefv1=16&start=1

Pen raised birds, I think 6s are more than adequate. I've killed a bunch of those birds with AA #7 1/2 trap loads. Wild birds, I like quality 5s. Shots tend to be farther out and wild birds have an incredible will to escape/live. I think the 5s break bones a lot more effectively than 6s. All...

A golf ball will work too.

I think it's a good thing to encourage trapping, especially the youth aspect. Puts a little money in their pocket, gets them outdoors and introduces them to responsibility. I'm sure the idea is to take them by trapping or shooting them but hey, a dead skunk is a dead skunk. Doesn't matter if...

Sabatti. Looks like they started selling them around 2009. https://www.americanhunter.org/content/remington-premier-over-under/

I apologize for my apparently weak attempt at humor concerning matching Lab hair color to your wardrobe. I do know we vacuum up enough in a week to make a nice sweater.

I've had 2 chocolates. The first big male was so good that he was the foundation of the line my vet partner and I developed. He pointed, he retrieved, he handled. Incredible nose; did the old point another rooster in mid-retrieve with another rooster in his mouth. Just an awesome dog. I owned a...

Any season where I get out with my Labs and get some hours in the field is successful. If the team gets a bunch of birds in the bag, it's a fantastic season. This was a very, very good season.

It all depends on your desired wardrobe colors. If you are a black and gray wardrobe type of guy, get a black. If you tend toward the earth tones...khaki, tan, light browns, get a yellow. Dark browns? Get a chocolate. Follow me for more Labrador hair tips.

I think it's a percentage thing. Any state's population of hunters has some unknown percentage of the inconsiderate hunters. That percentage is likely about the same for all individual states IMO. I don't think any particular state is holier than thou in this aspect. Now of all Out of State...

In my experience personally and in my group, we shoot better on the front end of a 10 day license than on the back end. I think fatigue plays a role. When we are fresh on the scene and eager to start the season we focus in better and swing the shotguns better. After a week of tromping the...
