This. Switching the safety off is part of the motion of mounting the gun.

Thanks, I'll take you up on that. I'll be down that way again for sure.

I usually don't hunt that far south, but decided to check it out some this year. Definitely more birds west and north of there, but I've seen decent numbers down there. Lots of public, but quite a few WIA's with crops but no cover.

Amen to that

I was out and about a good bit this past weekend in Hutchinson, Yankton, Bon Homme, and Turner counties. I'd say in that area the corn is about 80% harvested. Looking at the forecast for this week, I'm guessing the rest will be gone very soon.

Great photos, looks like an awesome mixed bag hunt!

My suggestion would be the Franchi Affinity. I've got the 12ga camo version as my main duck gun, and my wife has the 20ga. It's her main pheasant gun. When I'm hunting alone, I'll often carry her 20 because it fits me perfectly and I shoot it well. My 12ga fits me perfectly too, but it's 6.8...

Just getting a decent shot at a sharpie in late-Oct is no easy task. Hope you can end up getting one!

Same here. Expectations are high.

I think he was asking about the size of the out of state hunters, but I'm not sure.

There are definitely some areas of SD that got rain at just the right time for the cover to go bonkers. I've been on a couple of CREP spots where the bluestem was above my head and I'm 6'1". Been on a few where it's the normal waist-high as well, (but plenty thick) so I guess it just depends...

Hope you'll still hang around here and offer advice. You mentioned using liner socks in a thread way back 8-10 years or so ago. I gave it a try and found it to be a real game-changer. Good luck going forward!

I agree. Very little public land around Gregory. Quite a bit more 50-60 miles east.

Pretty sure that if you observed those guys in the field there'd be a fair bit of grab-ass going on. Hope they don't cross paths with Goose.

Yeah it's been a very warm Fall here so far. The extended forecast is showing high temps around 70 all the way out around the 27th-28th in the SE part of the state. :(

That's a good price on one of my favorite 16ga loads.

Got out and did some scouting yesterday in the SE part of the state. Drove around for about 4-5 hours. Pretty much every bean field I saw had been cut. Most of the corn still standing, but saw plenty of combines rolling. I'm sure there will be way less corn around when the regular opener gets...

Not sure about anywhere else, but the CO in ND made it clear that something like that didn't matter at all. He said that as soon as my wife was gone, her birds would be part of my possession limit and it didn't matter if they were labeled with her name, date harvested, license #, etc.

Can't say for sure about SD, but I did have a conversation with a CO in ND about it a couple of years ago. Long and short of it was that once another person leaves and his birds are still with you, they are now part of your possession limit. That was in ND, but I'm guessing that's about how it...

You left out the most important one of all.....no grab-ass!
