I will take a strong regular season and a play-off run any year. Super Bowl victory would be nice, but week by week it is much more fun to win too. Vikings of the 1970s took quite a few lumps in the final game.

Mostly (but not exclusively) a MN habit thing from what I have observed. I have not hunted a pheasant opener since I lost access to some private land. Minnesotans are notorious for this even in other states and Minnesotans that have this happen to them accepted as the norm for public land.

Interesting that a Nebraska person has not seen a crane since the largest migration roosts are on the Platte River in Nebraska. Sandhill crane love to roost in the shallow alkaline lakes of the middle Dakotas. I would say between the Missouri River and the James River in SD would be best...

I would not purchase your licenses too far in advance if you are looking at SD in December. Most areas should have lodging available at that time of year so you can plan for an area, but shift the hunt to another where the snow depth is less. If you hit it when the cold sets in ... well it...

Let a couple guys with night vision scopes (if legal in SD) on the property and the coyote problem will cease to exist.

Seems indiscriminate and a poor environmental decision.

Covid year. Temps were high and night time temps well above freezing. That year we slept in a tent even though there were two cabins across the entire property to separate out risk. We played poker outside after dark.

I will take cool weather (20F - 50F) and a dusting of snow. Deep snow ... no thank you anymore. I used to be able to hunt to 0F maybe even -10F (no wind) without gloves, but now I wear gloves when temps drop below 20F. Not a fan of gloves.

Simply refrain from watching. Not sure I have watched a single pheasant hunt video in the past 5 years ... I believe there are a few people posting on this site that post videos ... can't remember exactly who since I have not clicked their video posts. To each their own.

Years ago we ran into a biologist that was tracking prairie chickens. It was day two of the season. Old guy told us that two older birds he tracks heads to inaccessible land on the first indication the season has begun. I did not have the courage to say ... well where would that be on this...

Snipping Tool ... cut and paste. Posting on this site is really simple and almost too easy.

A little science mixed in with heavy marketing. Buy in or not ... everyone gets to have their own choice.

I was pretty young - maybe 19 or 20. I spent a few hours running the property with the ranch owner's son. Every stock damn was full of ducks and geese. The son said a couple of the stock damns held 5# plus largemouth. Nice Mule deer and a few nice whitetails bucks seen. Wild turkeys ...

Used to see a few in ND. ND had a one- or two-day season scheduled on a weekday(s). Population too low now. Antelope hunting in WY. Stepped out of the truck one afternoon and we apparently parked in the middle of a flock of 15 - 20 birds. A couple of big males flushed and flew not more...

Twin Cities has 17 days over 80F with two days to go (both are forecasted to be above 80F). Trees are way behind turning colors. That said the forming drought should speed up harvest.

Shoot through the leaves and follow up every shot.

70 at sunrise and 87 at 4 PM. Crazy hot start of the season. I used to have some really good grouse hunting 2nd half of September. Leaves on trees were rarely that much of a bother.

Very few people sitting all day in ND during deer gun season and those spots will not have pheasant hunters. Pushing deer out of a cattail slough or CRP field moves the deer that otherwise would have laid down until dark 30. When I hunt pheasant during the MN deer season (week days only) on...
