    Start of South Dakota 2025-2026 season countdown

    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.

    Opening two weeks and the temps!!

    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. :(

    2025 Season

    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...

    Transporting birds for others

    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.

    Transporting birds for others

    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...

    Golden retriever

    I agree. Got my first Boykin a little less than 4 years ago. She wasn't just my first bird dog, she was my first dog of any kind. (I'm 57 yrs old) I knew nothing about training a bird dog (still don't) but I did know how to go hunting, a lot. So that's what we did, and she and I both learned...

    Road Signs and WMA Signs

    I saw the same thing in Kansas a few years ago. It was a WIHA spot and someone had taken the white signs off the posts.

    Sportdog vs garmin

    I'm on my 4th season of Garmin Alpha 10 and TT15 mini and I'm very happy with both. Added a new pup this year, so I got a TT25 and like it so far.

    Throw me a bone

    I hunted in SD last weekend, was restricted to the first 2-3 hours of the day due to high temps. Saw decent numbers of birds, but I don't have anything to compare it to because it's my first year going after sharpies and prairie chickens in SD. (Hunted sharpies and huns in ND the past 5 years)...

    Grass Awn's - DEADLY for your dog

    I saw a WIA in SD that looked exactly like that about 3 weeks ago. SE part of the state. :( No way I'd let my dogs anywhere near that.

    Might be a bismuth shortage.

    I just checked and Rogers still has the Kent Bismuth upland 12 ga 2 & 3/4", 1 & 1/4 oz of 5's for $249 for 8 boxes. That's 200 rounds, so $1.25 a round. I've got a good supply of bismuth already, but I couldn't resist and ordered some back in the summer. Kinda surprised they're still...

    New NW Iowa Pheasant Hunter

    I hunted without a dog for many years. Here's my tips- Don't take long shots. If you keep your shots around 35 yards and closer, you'll have a much better chance of birds hitting the ground dead. When my wife and I were hunting without a dog, what worked for us was when a bird was shot, the...

    Which 16ga O/U

    I'm a big Rizzini fan, I've got a Roundbody EM 28ga that I love. But one thing to know about the 16ga BR110 is that it's built on the 12ga frame. The other models like the Aurum, Artemis, Roundbody, etc are built on a 16ga frame. These models are quite a bit pricier, no surprise there. I like...

    Montefeltro or Ethos ?

    That's my answer too. My wife has the 28ga Ethos with a wood stock. Holy cow that's a sweet gun.

    Nebraska sharptails.

    He's talking about sharptail grouse, and he's right that they're fairly easy to bring down. BB mentioned Hungarian Partridge being tough and he's right, they're tougher than sharpies even though they're about half the size.
