Just low bird numbers? I’m from Wisconsin so a good number of my hunts are 5+ miles without jumping a single bird. If I could kick up 10 birds a day I’d be more than happy. I originally planned to aim for the Mitchell area before that last storm. But any time I talk about a trip that area gets...

Anyone have any info in regards to Aberdeen vs Huron on how “huntable” it currently is (or will be in a week).. I’m off in a week and I’m going somewhere.. I’ve hunted Huron enough to know the area pretty well and would rather go there if it’s even remotely doable, but I’ve heard Aberdeen is...

I like the mindset, it’s either South East SD for whatever roosters made it through the storm, or wherever in Kansas gives me the best chance at a few shots at some kind of bird, I’m not too picky. I’m young and so are my dogs so putting a lot of miles on is not something I’m afraid of. I’ve got...

I’ll have to pray SD has a place or two that’s huntable by mid January then.. my wife is out of the country for work and I either take a hunting trip or find someone to watch my dogs while I work.. and I don’t think there’s much question as to what the right option is. I’d really prefer to blast...

Wondering the same thing.. if nothing is hunt-able by mid January I’ll probably be headed to Kansas for a couple quail instead.

I’ve got plenty of room in my car for Wisconsin Cheese/Beer, I planned to either go to the Salina area or possibly NE corner of the state as that seems to be where the quail are.. any pheasants in either? I’m not opposed to putting miles and miles in at a walk-in to find a few birds, I probably...

I wanted to get one last pheasant hunting trip in to SD with my setters, but Mother Nature has something to say about that.. now I’m wondering if a trip down to Kansas would be worth my time depending on weather.. I would love to get into some quail and any pheasants or prairie chickens would be...

Probably the last bird I’ll shoot this year… we’re getting a blizzard here in Wisconsin, and with all the snow already in SD I don’t know if it’ll be worth coming out in mid January.. now what will I do for the next 9 months..? Last Pheasant Hunt Of 2022? (Pheasant Number 30)

Little to no WILD pheasants in my part of the state… just the ones the DNR stocks at a few different spots. I haven’t even seen a hen this entire season. Either way, dogs love it.

Trying to make the most out of the last couple weeks of the Wisconsin season. Closing in on 30 birds for the season. Snowy Late-Season Wisconsin Pheasants

Unfortunately my SD trip next Thursday is looking like it’ll have to be cancelled due to the storm, luckily there’re a few birds around in Wisconsin to keep the dogs entertained.

I'm also coming from Wisconsin, so the later I leave the further east this system will be, so I might be screwed either way.. Let's hope the weathermen continue their streak of being unreliable more than a day or so in advance..

At what point, in terms of snowfall over a couple of days, would you consider it not worth the 8 hour drive to hunt? I planned to hunt around the Huron/Mitchell area next Thursday-Sunday (of course the day after this projected winter storm or blizzard).. I've never been out there with ANY snow...

One more week til we’re back in SD… hopefully the weather doesn’t get nasty before next Thursday 🤞🏼 South Dakota Tune-Up (1 MORE WEEK!!!)

Oh yeah, a little cut which resulted in a LOT of blood.. it was his first time out in about two weeks, definitely not due to running him into the ground. Probably more-so due to having him rest up for two weeks from a foot injury and being wayyy too juiced up to finally hunt. He’s babied beyond...

He’s been on the IR for about a week with a raw pad on his back foot.. he’s been hunting twice this week and this is the first time he’s been bleeding or close to it. When we got home you couldn’t even see where he nicked himself down there. My vet told me a few weeks ago that those parts heal...

What studies are you looking at? I’m genuinely curious.. personally the study linked below is enough for me to have a dog with some bloody nuts every once in a while until we can find a decent solution. Either way, you seem overly pro-nut snipping...

We were a couple miles from the car when it happened… it was a scrape and you couldn’t find it with a microscope if you looked now, it isn’t as if I realized it and hunted him until he bled out and then carried him home. But thank you for the concern. As far as issues with fixing him.. it’s...

It’s never been THIS bad before.. but we were pretty far from the car when we noticed it so it got worse and worse. I’m thinking some kind of body suit might be what we need..?

My dogs nuts tends to get pretty beat up and bloody nearly every time out. I’ve let them fully heal countless times but he’s a bottle rocket going through the grass and I don’t imagine that’ll change anytime soon.. Wondering if anyone has a good method to avoid this other than fixing my dog...
