Yep. I switch to ice fishing for my outdoor recreation once the snow gets too deep. Then again two years ago ... deep snow hit before the ice was ready to hold it well. Water pushed through holes and cracks in the ice resulting in a formation of ice-water-snow. Wore rubber boots ice...

Who the heck got stuck in a cattail slough and how were they rescued ... snowmobile ?

A few comments: Agree with S16: Each area is different when it comes to hunting roosters in winter and the impact it has on that local population of birds. Interesting pheasants are the only upland (not including turkey) where only males are killed by hunters. If the hunting mortality is...

Years ago (and I mean like 35+ years!) we were hunting with a SD farm family. This was pre-CRP or maybe just when CRP was in its infancy. Anyways we were working a creek bottom and flushed a coyote. A couple of "cousins" to this family who were watching us from the road in an old pickup...

Wait now. On a different thread there is a photo of you (BP) walking a ditch towards your dogs (I assume hanging out with your hunting partner).

I have never hunted at a private lodge. I have hunt pheasants in four states (MN, ND, SD, and IA). I have had 50 - 100+ flush days in three of those states (not IA - only hunted there a day or two because I got an upland license that carried to fall with my turkey permit). Most of those 50...

It was a nice day to be out hunting.

SD Outfitters are mostly catering to larger groups or combined groups. Rare is the outfitter that offers self-guided hunts on wild birds for 1 - 3 people. The economics are probably just not there. They want to have groups of 8 - 20 walk a few spots, kill their limit and on to the next day...

I think many MN hunters on this site would view the Glencoe area as a day trip destination so we are not going to be much help based on personal experience.

Who gets to go next ?

Not to be out done ...

Newest dog on the team.

From a few years ago now. That solo hunt lasted about 1/2 the time that it took just to drive out there.

You got the no blaze orange right too.

The wind is never less than forecasted.

Great pics. :)

The old school motel where you can back right up to your motel room door seems to have disappeared. They were great for ease of access and on occasion, when you wanted to grill.

That said I have watched pressured pheasants move into cover after sunset.

Some good deals (discounts) on Garman Alpha units right now if you are looking or on the fence and need a kick in the seat to buy.

Geezer is defined by who you ask. I would estimate the following... Ask someone under 21: Geezer is anyone older than about 50 - 55 years Ask someone 22 - 40: Geezer is probably around 60+ Ask someone 41 - 59: Geezer is probably around 70+ Ask someone in their 60s: Geezer is probably...
