You are now the second person I've heard of that hunts in this manner. The other is the CEO of the largest importer of fireworks in the U.S. His name is Mick Marietta of Jakes Fireworks. He hunts in South Dakota, west of Mobridge. Good lookin' pony!!

I see the terms "2nd/3rd hatch" with some frequency on social media and among guys in the area. A lot of farmers use that terminology as they're the ones who see little chicks in August. To those with a greater obsession with these birds, we're aware that the hen didn't raise multiple...

They're insanely challenging, but I think you'd have fun. I hear they are stronger, faster, smarter and better with the ladies than the Iowa roosters. :)

Received an email that was encouraging. PF in conjunction with OnX, SDGFP, et al, has enrolled 11,000+ acres of public access. I'm excited to see where these parcels are at and the hunting opportunities the present. Now if PF could just stop flaunting the flare nares in our faces... ;)...

31-35 here. I'm lucky to live where I do, so there are times when I can run out for 15 minutes prior to sunset on a parcel close to town. But I do believe that 100 days chasing pheasants would be just about the sweet spot for me.

Initially, I thought this would have some damning repercussions on Governor Noem. As I see the comments in support of her, as well as the tribalistic nature of American politics, I don't think this will really have much of an effect on her career. I could be wrong. Hope I am, but there really...

There is a lot of public land in that area, but it isn't the most conducive to being pheasant habitat. Lots of pasture ground. But, it is still SD and there are pieces of cropland with sloughs nearby available to hunt. Personally, I'd split the group into 2 and 3 people, each headed a...

SDGFP actually issues warnings about leaving your dogs unattended out in the country this time of year as the amount of pheasant activity can cause a seizure.

When you jump back on the retrofitted school bus on your way to the next strip of milo, see if one of the other 14 guys will let you sit in front of the heater so you can keep your toes warm in between hunting spots.

He's been posting on Facebook pretty regularly, watching the NCAA tournaments. Probably just got tired of all the grabass around here and is taking a break.

Much appreciated. Part of the reason I started posting videos was because there wasn't much on YouTube for the one guy/one dog on public land videos. It's the most rewarding way to hunt, IMO.

Sage gets table scraps most every night with her food, as well as those times when she looks at me when I'm eating. Doesn't take any supplements, only drinks water. We hunt pretty regular in the fall. She's 10. Has never once showed any signs of wanting to go back to the truck after 200...

So you basically unversatilized your dog. Very impressive!!

My son plays dodgeball at his elementary school, but the balls they use are like a nerf material with a light coating that prohibits getting much speed and doesn't hurt, even if it gets you square on the nose. Nothing like the old solid rubber ball that you could get moving about 60mph.

I remember playing dodgeball in high school and I'd bean the unathletic kids in the head, laugh about it, but eventually ended up feeling bad that I'd done that. That's kind of where I'm at with pointer owners. Such an easy target and hurting their feelings might be funny initially but isn't...

X2 on the ambient sounds of nature during the hunt. Wind is annoying, but it’s better than AC/DC. And I love Angus and the boys.

Personally, I’m on the same page as you. While it doesn’t “ruin” a video, I would rather focus on the dogs and experience the flush vicariously as it happens rather than the narrator saying, “This is where Fido flushes a hen and a rooster at the end of the thicket. We managed to put this one in...

I somehow missed Mr. Schmucker referencing me in his piles of typed dumped mud. My sentiments on pointers is related to my father. Lab guy his entire life until he got older and couldn't maneuver through the field as well as he once had. His GWPs have been good to allow him to still hunt...

A5 and Ace hunt with me and Sage once or twice a season. He always tries to shoot all 6 roosters. It usually ends up about even, but a couple times I let him shoot 4. It makes me feel real good to let him win once in awhile to keep his confidence up. But he needs an occasional reminder, so...

Which one(s) are VDD and which one(s) are German Wirehaired Pointers? Which one is the yellow lab and which one is the black lab? ;)
