I'm building a new house right now as a retirement gift to my wife. We cancelled it last year because of material costs. I won't dispute that gas is high, but $16.59 for a 2x6 stud, 77.96 per sheet for floor sheathing, $25.62 for a 2x6 16 . Well, you get the picture..

Fall colors doesn't necessarily have to mean trees. The prairie corridor of the river is absolutely stunning in the fall. If you haven't seen the Badlands, this is a must see. I sent you a PM about basing out of Chamberlain.

Growing up in Southwest Minnesota in the early70s, there were tons of Huns around. My brother and I shot limits nearly every evening after we got out of school. Lots of edges, small grains, cut silage. Almost every time there were mixed grain and alfalfa in their crop. Very hardy bird, not...

I feel your pain as Im looking at exactly the same thing shortly.. Sorry for your loss.

I know you listed river towns, but Id think Mitchell would be a solid option also. Easy access to bird country, 1 hour to Sioux Falls and all its amenities. . One hour to Chamberlain hunting and fishing , one hour to Yankton.

Her final hunt today.

Breez was diagnosed with incurable cancer at the start of the season. I've been able to give her a farewell tour hunting small patches relatively successfully. Today the sun is setting o not only the season, but her stellar career as a bird dog/ family pet. She's is showing no signs of the...

Little of both. Lol

Couldn't get my Skeeter on the water on Saturday. Sunday went up with a Crestliner on a roller trailer..

Couldn't pass up a couple nice days to fish. Maybe today ill stretch the dogs legs out a bit..:)

I sent you a DM...

My intentions were to hunt, but fishing with a long rod got in the way today. Even nicer tomorrow and Monday. Unless I get a call, the roosters are safe for the rest of the season. Walleyes better hide though.

Fishing was a bust. Only 2 keepers Monday and couldn't get on the ice Tuesday because the Corps raised the river 30 inches overnight. Took Breez (cancer dog)out for a short 15 acre walk Monday afternoon. Several hens early, then she locked up at the end of a patch of cover. I waded in. 1st...

I've got a 7 year old neutered male and a 13 year old intact female. Mother and son. Mother has terminal cancer and not long on this side. Quality of life is still good, but untreatable. No pain. She must be having some kind of cycle as twice this week they have hooked up. Never when I'm...

Heading to Chamberlain Sunday to ice fish and bird hunt for Monday and tuesday.

We just moved into our 45x69 shop and this is what I did. Porta kennel storage above and room for chargers, collars,whistles etc. Double spring loaded aluminum doors from Deer Creeek go outside to kennel run. Dogs have free roam of shop, but prefer being in their kennel.

I pretty much agree with almost everything youre saying, with the exception of any warm season grass and forb planting that is able to withstand invasion of brome and reeds canary if its damp. Without some kind of suppression in place, whether thats fire, or a early or late application of...

I hunted for 90 minutes on Friday. 5 hens. 1 rooster. Then I went fishing. 20 minutes and a limit. Saturdays limit took 15 minutes.. :)

Shorthair ran into one on the Brule res a few years ago. Its definitely not fun if it happens..

Lots of hayed ditches and fields, but private and public. Honestly, it didn't appear to have great hay conditions to begin with as the stuff that didn't get hayed is extremely sparce and barely hunt able in a lot of spots. ( west of Mitchell, east of River) crops are coming out fast, or gone...
