    Hunter harassment walking road right of ways...

    I've had a couple folks stop and tell me I couldn't be doing that. One time, I was hunting asparagus with my daughter. I have a camera strapped on my head, but if I didn't, I'm a firm believer in getting things documented. Hunting road rights-of-way was challenged back in 2005 in the SD...

    Early season thoughts

    I've been happy with the bird numbers that I've seen so far this season. Very similar to last year. There is still a lot of standing corn in the area I hunt. Once that is harvested, I am confident that we'll be in for some really great hunts.

    Where to go in December?

    To be fair, I've never said a word against anyone that hunts pen raised pheasants. My issue is when folks compare a pen raised pheasant to a wild, hatched on the prairie pheasant. I know perfectly well that I've got it pretty darn good to have been born to a dad that had a passion for pheasant...

    Onx for SD

    It is easy to formulate an opinion of someone based on a few seconds of media. I used to be as guilty as the rest. But when you put yourself out there with videos, I came to realize that an opinion formed based on a microcosm of something much, much larger is often misguided, if not false...

    2023/2024 Pheasant Hunting Videos

    At 5:35, I was walking up to where Sage found the first bird and I saw the second bird trying to beat feet. I grabbed the first one off the ground and put him in my vest quick and went to "help" Sage find the second one.

    I upload my videos to YouTube and then paste the link here. Do you have videos on your phone? If so, you could download the YouTube application and upload directly from your phone. Just a thought.

    2023 Resident Opener

    That's awful. I can forgive the accidental "parked where we couldn't see one another" instances, but that is trash to step in on someone else's spot. Looking forward to hearing about the pup's progress!

    2023 Resident Opener

    That's exciting. What's the pup's name? If you give him enough experience, he'll learn the game pretty darn quickly. Good luck!

    2023 Resident Opener

    Just curious how many folks here are planning on getting out. Sage and I always go to a particular spot after finishing up duck hunting, but I might do a quick hunt there and then head back out closer to sunset. Man, it feels good to be talking about the actual hunting of pheasants again...

    Why is deer hunting so popular?

    I hunt public land close to what I call "managed for conservation" properties. I used to get unnerved by guys creating havens for game and then not hunting it, until I realized that during winters like the one we just had, those havens saved thousands upon thousands of pheasants, deer and other...

    Why is deer hunting so popular?

    I do a yearly trip with my dad and buddy to western South Dakota to hunt deer. I don't particularly care for it, but I respect that I don't have unlimited time to get outdoors with my dad and I do love the meat, so I typically shoot the first deer I see. I've shot some big deer and I've shot a...

    Politics

    There was a government shutdown about 8 years ago or so that supposedly closed the federal lands. I still hunted it, like benelli-banger said, and didn't have much concern about getting in trouble. Even though common sense doesn't always rule the day, I'm confident that it would in the...

    Help me make up my mind....

    In areas with sufficient habitat, the pheasants came through the winter doing well. A great nesting/brood rearing spring/summer has leant itself well to the pheasants. As with any year, you might have to put some miles on the gravel roads to find the pockets that were able to sustain the...

    How often do you encounter the law?

    In my life, I've probably had ten or so encounters with game wardens. Typically either on the Resident Opener or Traditional Opener for pheasants.

    Will SD GFP get back to basics?

    It's okay to be wistful about the beauty and awesomeness of pheasant hunting on YouTube feermz. I hope, anyway. ;)
