    Snow birds…

    Buddy of mine in South Dakota sent this to me. Looks like that blizzard brought some snow.

    The lodge I work for doesn't do cast and blast but the other lodge in the valley does cast and blast. They get up at 5 in the morning and float down to a blind, hunt ducks for a couple of hours and then float out and fish. I have done it on my own and it is a lot of fun but not as a guide.

    This will not help pheasants

    Idaho got hammered in November and hasn't really let us. I'm afraid it is going to be a long winter indeed. I sure hope the pheasants can find feed and it didn't get frozen in the ice and then snow on top of the ice.

    I think Haymaker said it right. Really Goose? I have to be honest with you Goosemaster, if the education profession paid a little better maybe I wouldn't have to work so many side jobs. I remember when I was teaching in South Dakota I had to coach football, guide pheasant hunting on the weekend...

    Snow birds…

    I just looked at the weather for South Dakota and it showed some areas were calling for up to 2 feet of snow and winds up to 50 mph. I was in Mitchell Christmas 2019 when they received the record amount of snow in one day and it was amazing to see what this type of snow did to roads and tree...

    I’m a fly fishing guide in the summer here in Idaho and rates are $3,500 for three nights two days. Thats per person and it’s double occupancy so $7,000 for two people. That’s $1,750 a day per person to fish. Outdoor activities are getting pretty expensive these days. I would/could never afford...

    Snow birds…

    I’m trying to sneak another trip in this coming weekend. I’m a perfect world I can leave Saturday the 17th and hunt five days and get back Friday the 23rd. Any of us who have hunted so dak after a blizzard know what roads look like when snow and wind pay a visit. However, it can be some dang...

    New to South Dakota

    I would say the first thing you do is go to cabelas scheels or any sporting good store and pick up the public hunting atlas. Like Bruce said not a lot in hour radius of rapid city for pheasants so you’ll have to head at least two hours east towards Presho. I haven’t hunted much towards Lemmon...

    That’s awesome. I think 2012 was the last season I guided in Presho. I was a school teacher and went to school four days a week and guided on the three day weekends.

    Heading to South Dakota

    Sigh… I wish I was retired or loaded with money so I could spend more time in South Dakota pheasant hunting. I hope you get to return and hunt an additional two 5 days.

    Thanksgiving Hunt

    Some of them may have been deer hunters but in the lobby for breakfast it was packed with pheasant hunters at 8:00 AM in the morning. When I say packed, at least 6 groups of 4-8 hunters each. Deer hunters were long gone sitting in the fields by then. Dad and I go every year the weekend before...

    Thanksgiving Hunt

    My dad and I left Friday 11/18. I honestly didn't think we were going to go but we ended up going. We hunted Saturday to Wednesday and got home Thursday morning in time for Thanksgiving. We ended up staying at the Americ Inn in Chamberlain on 90. Left Friday morning around 8 and got there around...

    Heading to South Dakota

    There was an episode on rooster rush a couple years ago that talked about that. Ive always wanted to try that but I guess I’m not willing to drag my boat to SD all the way from ID. Planning to camp out in chamberlain a couple nights and hunt north and east of here. We’ll see how it goes...
