I’m a fly fishing guide in the summer here in Idaho and rates are $3,500 for three nights two days. Thats per person and it’s double occupancy so $7,000 for two people. That’s $1,750 a day per person to fish. Outdoor activities are getting pretty expensive these days. I would/could never afford...

I’m trying to sneak another trip in this coming weekend. I’m a perfect world I can leave Saturday the 17th and hunt five days and get back Friday the 23rd. Any of us who have hunted so dak after a blizzard know what roads look like when snow and wind pay a visit. However, it can be some dang...

I would say the first thing you do is go to cabelas scheels or any sporting good store and pick up the public hunting atlas. Like Bruce said not a lot in hour radius of rapid city for pheasants so you’ll have to head at least two hours east towards Presho. I haven’t hunted much towards Lemmon...

That’s awesome. I’m curious to see what this weeks blizzard forecast will look like for South Dakota.

That’s awesome. I think 2012 was the last season I guided in Presho. I was a school teacher and went to school four days a week and guided on the three day weekends.

Good for you.

Sigh… I wish I was retired or loaded with money so I could spend more time in South Dakota pheasant hunting. I hope you get to return and hunt an additional two 5 days.

Why’s that?

Randywatson, small world if you've hunted snake den. I know Casey G very well and he has one of my lab puppies he uses.

This is awesome. Like Wind River said, we need more like Haymaker

Some of them may have been deer hunters but in the lobby for breakfast it was packed with pheasant hunters at 8:00 AM in the morning. When I say packed, at least 6 groups of 4-8 hunters each. Deer hunters were long gone sitting in the fields by then. Dad and I go every year the weekend before...

My dad and I left Friday 11/18. I honestly didn't think we were going to go but we ended up going. We hunted Saturday to Wednesday and got home Thursday morning in time for Thanksgiving. We ended up staying at the Americ Inn in Chamberlain on 90. Left Friday morning around 8 and got there around...

There was an episode on rooster rush a couple years ago that talked about that. Ive always wanted to try that but I guess I’m not willing to drag my boat to SD all the way from ID. Planning to camp out in chamberlain a couple nights and hunt north and east of here. We’ll see how it goes...

We’ll it looks like dad and I are heading to so dak today 11/18. I didn’t think it was going to happen. My son broke his arm earlier in the week and my mom has been having some hip problems but last night dad said we’re going. Just went through Casper and on way to Gillette wy now. Hope to make...

I always worry about ice preventing birds from getting to food. I’ve seen when a rain storm wil come through and then freeze ground and birds can’t get to seeds on ground. Is this a co cern yet?

1500 miles is going to be quite the road trip if you’re driving. My number one advice to you is stop and get a physical hunting atlas map. Can pretty much get them anywhere. You can use the virtual one but I love physical copy because we’re always taking notes in the property and it goes in my...

In the past when I’ve stayed in Mitchell’s and gone to cabelas they have a big board up with banded birds people claimed for prizes. They released like 100 birds to win all kinds of goodies.

That’s awesome. What general area were you hunting. I’m trying to leave this coming Thursday or Friday so would be nice to have an idea where birds are.

Thank you for some of the advice about chamberlain everybody. I have stayed in chamberlain because it’s such a long drive to Mitchell. I think to rapid city it’s 10 hours for me from Idaho and about 13 hours to chamberlain plus a time change into central time zone so really 14 hours. Sometimes I...

Who cares if it’s a long post. Loved reading it!
