    How-to Article

    Would I buy it? Sadly, yes I'd buy it. Might even buy a couple extras to give to some of my hunting buddies. One in particular that always lets the bolt on his auto go about the time we step into the field. One of the reasons he should shoot an o/u. How much would I pay? That's classified...

    SD Crop Report 8/24

    That's good news for us pheasant hunters, but more important, much more important, good news for the farmers working to make a living. Thanks for sharing Hockeybob.

    Why full choke?

    Thanks for starting this discussion. Its brought back some really good memories that are somewhat on subject - shotgun chokes. When I started hunting rabbits and squirrels about age 12, my Uncle had a SXS I used but was only allowed to put in one shell. Don't know if I even understood then there...

    Alaska

    My hunting friend who lives there sent me these pictures of spruce grouse. Season opened yesterday in Alaska. Its not pheasants, but we will be in SD first week of November. There is reason for optimism. Brit's name is Snowy.

    SD Public Land Poll

    It varies somewhat year to year, but probably 50% of my hunting time is on public. Several of the private farms I have permission to hunt are smaller tracts, less than a quarter section typically, but generally produce more birds. Couple of them are less than 15 acres.

    Hearing Protection

    Check out Soundgear. I have the Instant Fit. They seem to work well reducing gun noise and have just enough amplification so that I hear conversation and flushes better. They are also a PF partner. They are so small I worried about losing them but rigged a lanyard up that has worked so far.

    Habitat stamp Required

    Liked what bb and sjohn said. I guess I'm getting old. Actually its not a guess - I am old (70), so my perspective is somewhat different than some and thankfully similar to some. I've hunted other states for upland, but none have ever compared to SD. Nowhere else have I consistently seen the...
