That's funny. Makes you wonder what Raiders would do. ;):ROFLMAO:

103,000 x 125 average license cost is just under 13 million. 62,000 x 125 is just under 8 million. If I were losing 5 million a year I’d do something different.

Thank you everybody for your kind words and thoughts. Each day we have to spend with family and do the things we love is truly a blessing. Rough times help you cherish the good times.

I sure do miss the pheasant counts! I think that was the first thing SD to eliminate honesty and transparency with hunters. Like many of you said we go to South Dakota no matter what but it’s nice to have an idea what to expect. Instead of doing counts they put that money into marketing. 😉

I flew out on Friday the 19th into Sioux Falls and my dad picked me up. He was already in South Dakota and hunted a couple days before I got there. We stayed in Mitchell and should've could've had limits every day we hunted. Saturday we went north of Mitchell and ended up with 3 roosters. Missed...

Long time ago I was working at a duck club in Colusa, CA. I can save the conversation for another day but this place was amazing. Anyways, I learned a lesson back then about dog training. People yell and scream at their dogs and then get even more upset when they feel the dogs are not listening...

N i agree with you. Paying that much money for shells is insane but when we travel to South Dakota we pay gas hotel food license etc. what’s an extra $20 for a box of shells to do something we wait all year to do. I have checked all my sporting good stores here all summer and fall and nothing...

Thank you everybody for the update. I’m now down to single digits on day counts til I get there next Friday and start hunting Saturday. Gotta love thanksgiving break when you work in education.

Has anybody been to Cabelas in Mitchell, SD recently. I was just curious how their 12 gauge ammo inventory was?

I know people don’t like to give away their spots but what area of the state were you hunting jmuller19? I head out to SoDak the 20th and just trying to get an idea where to start. Sounds like from the first post north central is a little tough.

I’m jealous and miss living in South Dakota. I was a teacher and it was nice to go for a short walk after school.

If You think about it if you walk the perimeter of a section that’s 4 miles. That’s pretty easy to do in a morning and afternoon walk to get 8 miles. I know when I go to SoDak I usually get 20,000 plus steps a day.

I don’t hunt SE part of the state much but from my experience you can usually find a cheap motel for $55 a night. Last year I stayed in Mitchell and talked to a guy in parking lot that told me they did well hunting somewhere between Yankton and Mitchell. They drove quite a distance from the...

What was so different in North Dakota compared to South Dakota in terms of weather and pheasant survival?

Awesome report. Thanks for honesty and can’t wait to get out there myself.

Thanks for the update on Cabelas. I have hit up every store in Idaho and can’t find shells to save my life. I’m hoping they still have shells in Mitchell when I get there thanksgiving week.

Like you said this is the best report I’ve seen in a while in this forum. It’s honest and it’s very informational. Thank you for sharing g with the group. I’ll be in south dakota in about three weeks and I can’t wait. I’m coming rain or shine whether there are birds or not. I just love being out...

OK. Does anybody know of anybody else that cleans birds in the Mitchell area? I don’t mind cleaning my own birds but sometimes the hotels do mind.

I used to hunt in Carthage area and there was a farmers dog that loved to hunt with us. He’d go into the cattails and find raccoons to get in a wrestling match with them. It looked like the cartoons with the animals going around in circles. They would both finally gas out, you’d grab the dogs...

Wow. On private property or public?
