Dogs can be better guests than people.

Grew up in NE Ohio and as a kid I was happy to see some tracks in the snow, chase tracks around to see the wing imprints on the snow with a flush I didn't even see, and maybe bag 1-2 birds in the season. To me I'm like a kid in a candy store hunting SD gave up on Kansas about 10 years ago too...

One must avoid (1) a woman who's smarter than you, (2) stronger than you, and (3) can handle a firearm better than you. One must then seek a woman who's prettier than you...

As for Chamberlain, Charlie's is decent and the Smokin Mule is happening on weekend nights.

Hunted Sioux Lower Brule one time and at first location a local came busting in on his ATV with a six shooter on hip, yelling at us to get off his land. It was clearly marked as Walk In Hunting and later when I mentioned the incident to the tribal game warden, he replied "that must have been...

I say this often - we are blessed to have places like the Dakotas, Iowa, Kansas to satisfy our passion for roosters. I got hooked at an early stage tracking them in snow where 2-3 birds a season was braggin material. I pray this privilege remains intact for generations to come. We know it has...

I'm pretty sure 99% of us are hunting SD regardless of brood, crowing, or any other reports. That's because we know some amount of birds are always there and we cherish the privilege to hunt rather freely (compared to our European friends). It's about the ribbing from a missed shot, watching the...

and we think our ladiess bitch... Bottom line is there are too many hunters vs places to hunt - so only solution is to lighten up and appreciate we can still hunt. I'm worried those days are numbered with the 'progressive' nature of this world/country.

My 2-cents. Whether 1,2,3 birds per day per person really doesn't matter. I feel privileged given what does on elsewhere in this world, for the opportunity to own firearms which I can keep at my house and to have many options as to where to hunt - many here are trying their best to change that...

Regarding the Augusta National reference...when I was young, flexible and strong hitting a 2 iron was nothing. I used to view the 50-60 yr golfers as really old and lame - and now I'm one of those guys. At least I have increased my pheasant wisdom over those years.

That's why we come in to through the basement door with our latest purchases. And for many of us throw in a boat, electronics, trailer (can't be just any ole trailer), more rods/reels/tackle than we know what to do with, etc etc - there is no comparison to what the wife spends but we have to...

The best survey comes from this forum minus the intentional misinformation posted by a select few :mad:. Like most, I make the long trek to SD for the blessings this wonderful land has to offer - if only my wife would agree to move!!!

Can't believe I'm the first to post the 2015 crowing survey...I can't tell my wife as she doesn't understand this fever. http://edit.kdwpt.state.ks.us/Services/Research-Publications/Wildlife-Research-Surveys/Upland-Bird/2015-Pheasant-Crowing-Survey Looks like the state will have a few more...

My 7 year old springer has been diagnosed with moderate dysplasia with one hip and severe on other. Vet says her hunting days are over. My question is whether any of you have tried surgery for a dog of this age - my vet says for a younger dog she'd recommend it but no so for a 7 year old...

After 15 years now of traveling from Georgia to hunt western Kansas, and many viewings of this forum especially this time of year as the season approaches, I've taken the time to register and join the madness. I'm happy to be aboard.
