About 12:50 the day after christmas, my 3 yr old female lab was sleeping soundly on an ottoman in our living room, when all of a sudden, she woke up, jumped to the floor, starting spinning like something was biting her on the haunches, tried to run across the room dragging her rear end, then...

Looks like 5-8” snow possible over the next couple days and temps in the 20s for the next couple weeks

Last bird of a 5 day mid-season hunt. This was her 5th trip to SD since 2021. Can’t wait for the next one…hopefully last weekend of January 2024…

I've dealt with this issue on two trips already this year. i've got the less expensive petmate carrier with insualted cover. my vehicles are mid-size suvs, so I usuaully leave the kennel in the cargo area during the night. but when i went to SD both times this year, we took a buddy's pickup...

I live in Mississippi. I suspect the nearest ringneck is at least 9 hours away, if not further. It’s been my experience that whitetail and waterfowl are the most popular species to hunt here at home. Our state has about 600,000 acres of public hunting land, mostly in the form of Wildlife...

Perhaps,,but the memories we made were worth every dollar…and it’s kept me coming back every chance I get.

first year i was invited to SD on a group hunt, one of our group brought a .410 pump as his only firearm for the weekend. we walked grass over pointers and pushed corn rows/milo fields with a couple of blockers on the end. we set up the so the guy with the .410 was a driver and walked in the...

There was a lengthy discussion about this a few years ago. If I can find it, I’ll post the link. Anyway, there is apparently a court case in SD which the court said if a hen was killed, the violation is possession and if a hen is killed, the lawful solution is to leave it in the field. Edited...

10x40. ceiling in the shed is about 9ft. Looks like a small barn with a high ceiling/loft.

I have a friend who raises his own quail. He has an old tool shed that is about 20x40. He has half of it netted off and keeps the quail in there. Keeps them out of the weather and keeps critters away

I clean the birds at the motel and put the entrails in a garbage bag and toss em in the dumpster.

I have cleaned pheasants one of two ways- if they were being processed at the outfitters to be vacuum packaged, frozen and accompanied by the paperwork, we cut out the breasts within hours of the hunt. When I hunt public land and have to keep them in a cooler with attached wing until I get...

in the off season I came across a few articles about dry aging pheasants before cleaning them. as I understand it, to dry age, you leave the bird fully intact for several days in cool/cold temps. My buddy and I were up recently and caught the weather just right where the temps stayed below 50...

I know its a bitoff topic, but my experience with the e-collars is that they it very helpful with recall without having to yell or whistle over high winds. 99.99% of my e-collar use is vibrate mode. If I have to use the shock mode on a very rare occasion, it doesnt take more than a nick setting...

We are on the home stretch on the return trip from SD. We hunted public access only and put more than a 2-man limit in the air 4 out of 5 days. Got lucky to hunt day 1 in the snow. I plan to go back later in the season, weather permitting. Always a great time to be on the prairie…
