Agree ^^^ SD was a real treat this year, there was little debate. Minnesota on the other hand, was.... Fine. like gimruis, I found the extra hunters really decreased the quality of hunting here in MN. Giving SD a 9, and MN a 4. Maybe I didnt give it enough of a chance but the handful of...

I could look this up, but.... you guys are all knowing. Does SD still have a deal that if you buy your license XX days before the season closes you get your second 5 day hunt forwarded to next fall?

^^^ Except they don't get caught until years later and there can be lengthy legal battles that can cost MN taxpayers more money because of it. This is a no win situation from the side of enforcement. The buffer enforcement is easily seen from the road, that 3 acre pothole that was there (or...

Another little tip perhaps, is to emphasize "leaning into" the shot. Getting 70 / 30 % of your weight on the front foot helps you barrel down and reduces that recoil. I drill that into myself when shooting clays

I'm suprised you ended up with RICK, after a 540 spin I would have been too dizzy to hit em! (with the rage broadhead of course)

Ok finally have everything put away, cleaned up, and can start to stretch my muscles without wincing in pain ;) Day 1- 3 of us drove out with 2 dogs and it was warm! Like mid 50's, and dry as heck. We did some road hunting and scouted around, hit some low areas and picked off 4, then...

Dang, thats some good eatin' right there... you are right I love that state.

Good Boy, Buzz.... 😇

I was in SD a few weeks ago, and the beep function of the collar went to crap. It could still nick / shock my pup but I elected to have a happy dog running around, ranging too far rather than a dog afraid to be hunting for fear of a zap. I use the tone button constantly to "talk" to my...

That is a hell of a spur, nice report - PM sent

Im in St. Cloud, so yeah, about the same. I can hunt an hour west, but would rather do 2.

And clean your gun very meticulously afterward. lol

Hmm, bummer we used to hunt up that way and I wanted to try it again.... We left that area after the ice storm of 2017 wiped out almost all the birds but I figured they would be back by now maybe?

Great story, and if your get one of those little sharp toothed undercoat removers (for shedding) they are pretty good for burr removal *TIP 6

I sure wish I was with you versus at my work computer though ^^^ enjoy and you will get some nice hunting days in those 10 days, use some crappy time to drive and scout land

Yes, also if you are out this weekend guys, remember it is the youth deer hunt, any 12-17 yr old can be in the woods with a rifle or slug gun. Be careful pulling into a WMA if there is another vehicle there, they should be blaze oranged up though.

Went out Sunday as plans change ;) and, with my 70 yr old dad and my 13 yr old boy. We hit 4 spots, went further west than I thought.... First spot was small and we put up 2 roosters and 7-8 hens - I cracked one. We spent the next 6 hours overheating and waiting, finally putting a quick hunt...

In december, you should probably focus on areas that have more WPA than WIA, there is generally cattails in those areas. No idea about campgrounds, good luck on your first time in God's country

Eh ^^^ I wouldn't go quite that far. The bird numbers (public) can only support so many hunters. If an area that is close to Mitchell or Huron gets shared, whatever... that spot gets pounded hard anyways. But if you call out a small town area on a website, that is going to bring in the...

I will only be able to hunt for the last couple hours of the day on Saturday, so close and quick. Good luck all. I drove a bit in central Mn, there is alot of work the farmers need to do before the hunt will get good yet. I think there will be a sweet spot this year though, of decent temps...
