where are the harvest numbers coming from?

the last couple years, the mitchell motel 6 had a cleaning counter and sink back by the dumpster. At night, it is dark, and can be a bit blustery. On more than one occasion, I have laid out a camp tarp and cleaned a mess of birds in the warmth of my hotel room, after which i bagged up the...

a buddy of mine just had a litter of GSP pups, and it appears we may have a small pack with us when we hit the road this fall. When we were in SD last year, we noticed all kinds of what appeard to be homemade dog box trailers while riding around time and back roads. if you built your own dog...

I'm at the point in my life that if I am hunting with a couple of buddies, I don't care who shoots how may birds toward our limit. if its 2, 3, or 4 of us walking public land, i would not expect my buddy who may have hit three already to pass up a flushed bird within his range and out of...

Always an internet warden…. My group from MS had 6 guys. One of the 6 was “seeing a man about a horse” when the picture was taken. 2 of our hosts also hunted with us. 6 guys made it home to MS with 54. Our hosts kept theirs…

Here’s Day #1

I just returned from SE SD after a 3 day hunt.. Snow was ankle to knee deep in the food plots and cattails, and shelter belts. Grass fields were largely snowed over with knee to thigh high drifts on the edges. It was foggy and chilly the first two days, and clear and "warm" the last day. The...

i leave wednesday afternoon from MS to hunt thurs, fri, sat and sun. i've been watching the forecast and hope it holds out.

the most snow I have ever hunted in was approx 1-2" and it was easy walking generally speaking, at what depth does it become more trouble than it is worth to hunt? is hunting in 6-8 inches still doable, or is it a waste of time? thank!

I'm from MS and I see many grasses growing in SD fields that I do not know the names for. Some grasses are light, but curly bladed, shin-to-knee high and easy to walk through; some are over head high, bright yellow/gold with puffy heads (not the corndog looking heads) on them, some are about...

2015- buddy and I left vicksburg MS and headed to SD for a 3-day guided hunt on a fri, sat, sun. We decided to leave on a Monday and drove straight thru to Custer, toured the black hills, Rushmore, badlands and ended up in Mithcell to meet the rest of our group Thursday night at the outfitters...

Thanks. We are gearing up for her 6th trip to SD since those pics were taken. of course, she's filled out a little....

some buddies and I tried to make a “last weekend of the season” trip to SD in Jan 2023. Unfortunately, the area we were planning to go was snowed under and we had to make a last minute change of destination. A mutual friend of one of our group recommended Upland Inn. UI was able to accommodate...

Looks like puffed wheat, similar to the Honey Smacks cereal I used to eat when I was a kid. MORE

I had very similar experience with my lab when she was about 9 months old. She chased a cat throught the kitchen and slid across the tile floor into the cabinet. i was in the living room and heard the commotion. She started yelping and when she tried to stand up, her rear right leg was dangling...

One bird recipe-

I’ve got two 5-day SD trips in already this year, with a third planned for the last weekend of the season. The first trip was a two-man, 3-dog public land adventure and we put 2-man limits in the air within gun range everyday. The second was a 2-day public, 3-day guided hunt in early December...
