    Dog Starting Heat Cycle - Bring for SD Opener ?

    I feel bad for you but Id let her sit it out. Its not good especially if you'll be hunting any public or at a hotel with other males. Just like shooting a sitting rooster or crowding someones decoys, not illegal but......

    Resident Opener

    Got out yesterday and today and was pleasantly surprised with the amount of young birds seen. My son and I headed west of Sioux Falls and it looks like the flooding didn't effect the birds too bad once you were 60+miles west of town. The amount of hunters was surprising but there seemed to be...

    Dog box dimensions

    NavyCheif, I couldn't add photos to the DM you sent so I'll try this route. Dimensions are 69" length x 24 tall. 22.75 wide each. Made out of 1/4 inch plywood and 1xs. Split in the middle with another door and can handle two drahts and two labs comfortably. Let me know if you have any questions.

    Badlands camping for birds

    I did two years ago off exit 18 at a state campground. Showers were still on and had it all to ourselves (first week of Oct). Last week we stayed at a hotel in Sydney MT for $70.00 a night I would highly recommend. Only about 20 miles from the grasslands and we got into birds every day, LOTS of...

    Another first timer to SD Post

    Those Kent faststeel would be perfect for both species. The 3.5s may be overkill but Id certainly use them later in the year before buying more ammo. Youll be in prime pheasant country and have a great hunt Im sure. Dont overthink it and welcome to our state!

    SD Public Pheasant Hunting Trip

    You will do just fine in that area if the birds dont have a bad hatch. We deer hunt near there and have no problems getting our birds between the am and pm deer hunt on public land. Be ready to cover lots of WIAs and other public accessible areas early and then have at them at ten. Goodluck...

    PSA-Loosen up that choke, or get rid of it altogether

    And what are the conclusions typically? Im an average shot but I get to hunt more than most. According to my sons who I typically hunt with my estimates are short. Interesting topic.

    2024 National Pheasant Fest in Sioux Fall, who is going?

    I bought my final rise vest at the one in Omaha two years ago but he had to ship it to me later. I believe hes going to be there again this year and will probably be a few bucks off.

    Chicken fried.

    Just tried chicken fried pheasant breast Thurs and am shocked at how well its turned out. Nothing fancy, just some vegetable oil in a frying pan and some flour seasoned with whatever I pull out of the cabinet. Im on my third batch and I added cayenne, paprika, onion powder and garlic salt to the...

    Porkie Pine

    I dont know why this pic comes out so large, This was from last year in ND. This dog is 12 yrs old here and gone now [not from PP quills]. We removed these ourselves as they were almost all very easy to get at and this particular dog treated it almost as overdue attention. Not unusual to see...

    Porkie Pine

    I couldve said that better. I called at 1130 and they said vet was booked until 4pm and said I could try emergency vet in Sioux Falls. I went to work with my needle nose and the dog actually cooperated realativly well and I pulled until I couldnt find anymore. Ill watch him close tonight and...

    Porkie Pine

    Just an FYI to you east side hunters. My dogs got into a porcupine at Diamond Lake today. It wasnt good:mad:. It looked like about 50 a piece which is about par for these two knuckle heads but when I got to the truck and opened the young ones mouth i was shocked, looked like he tried to swallow...

    How Cold Is To Cold?

    I did end up hunting last Monday and Tuesday. I dont remember the exact temps but they were below zero. Dogs did well and loved getting out! I lost my stocking hat in a grove but still had a hood but my ears got a little too cold. Still hurts to sleep on them and constant itch and tingle. I did...

    SDGFP cracking down on non-resident resident licensing?

    Theres no state income tax in SD either so that may entice many seniors who travel to AZfor several monhs a year to claim SD as a resident along with licensing vehicles and of course we have a lot of pheasants too:)

    How Cold Is To Cold?

    Couldn't sit in the house any longer and had one I'll remember long past the last day. First bird poorly hit(I blame the gloves 😔) and the young dog did a textbook 100 yd retrieve. 2nd bird off nice double point and third, older dog wouldn't come off point so I released young dog and he dug out...
