Thank you to all the Veterans out there. Got to help Sunday again with the VFW decorated veterans hunt. Always one of the highlights of our trip to SD!

Great report and good job! Sounds like a fun hunt.

I would second the idea of game farm to get them some experience and quite honestly some practice. Is it like chasing wild birds in SD no but I bet it would really get them going and excited to then chase wild birds. To answer your question on finding birds in SD if you read through previous...

Great report and sounds like an awesome trip!

Couple representative pics from our trip

Welcome from another Buckeye. Hope the pup gets straightened out and feeling better. What area of the state are you in?

Welcome to the site. Any help you with contacts since from Ohio but maybe reach it to national level to get some correct people locally to talk to?

I would think at a minimum $50 a night per person for the housing. That is what we are paying and feel like it’s a good deal. If it went up 20% I would think it’s still a good deal. To be perfectly clear where we are staying is nothing special but it works of us very nicely.

Stuff like this used to bother me even though not on FB and never have been. Now I could care less what any one else does or thinks they are hunting. It’s me and my buddy and our dogs against the birds. We know what we are hunting and the experience is the key. Others can do as they please and...

Welcome. What state?

From those I have talked with opener went well. Also hearing one area we hunt corn harvest way ahead and the other it is about normal. Expect we will see a big jump in harvest percent with this weeks report.

Great looking gun!!

That first pic is awesome!!

Agree it is personal preference but I tend to like longer barrels. My 28 and 20 are 32”. 16 is 29” and 12 is 28”. At some point I’ll likely move to 30’s on my 12. If nothing else as an excuse to buy a new gun. I do like how the longer barrels swing though.

I’ve not personally used them but another guide out at the club has on his labs and seems very happy with them so far.

Here is a pretty good looking gun at a real good price considering the adjustable comb and the number of chokes included. Plus Bass Pro/Cabelas will ship it for free if there is one of their stores close to you...

If wanting to go that route watch Etchens website as they will have exactly that come through and make the process easier for you.

My hunting buddy is retiring in December so decided to buy matching 16’s for pheasant hunting. Just used his retirement as an excuse to buy a new gun. We went with Rizzini Aurum’s. Upgrade from their standard base model but not stupid costly. Lots of good options out there in your range...
