I'll through my 2 cents in the hat too. It has been my experience that if you find good looking habitat, you will find birds. It has not mattered where I have gone in the SD. I will preface that with it does matter when you go. I used to go first or second week of November. I have since...

This year was my 31st wedding anniversary. It was just last week and we spent another one apart. If I had kept tract, I would guess we may only half celebrated about half together. For the first few years, i was traveling back to PA for a whitefly hatch or a green drake hatch on famed creek...

One time i was told I let a sharptail go but it looked like a hen pheasant to me. I've not seen enough or any on the flush to know the difference. It would be great to see enough to get educated but I don't think there are many around where we hunt.

I just compared the seeds from the nightshade berry, which is in the same family with tomatoes, to a close up of the seeds in the picture i posted. The seeds in my photo do indeed look tomato seed like. So I think we may have a winner on the Nightshade berry. Thanks for all the input. For...

Yep! that would be a crop full of hoppers. something I never saw. Also never saw a skinned hen pheasant. Where was the bird harvested and what time of year? Time of year for interest in hoppers and Place of harvest as I am interested in where you can shoot a hen pheasant? Also, is that a...

Diameter estimate is about 1/4 inch. smaller than a store blueberry but about the size of a huckleberry.

they were not poke berry. Poke berry has flat black shinny seeds. They may have been buckthorn berries. Never seen them but information says the fruit develops late August September so maybe the fruit stayed good until November.

They really did look like blueberries and I didn't think of it at the time to document where the bird came from. We do hunt close around some farms, I mean very close. Of course with permission. Would a pheasant possibly go to a compost pile? or potentially pick up blueberries that someone...

Just my observation from hunting mostly after thanksgiving. I don't ever recall finding grasshoppers in any crops. Only two times that I recall I have found crops that had something other than corn or soybean. One time it was hemp seed and the other time it looked like blueberries. Picture...

You struck a soft spot for all of us. Great story to share as we have all gone through this or if not, you will in time. I'm on my 5th dog now, the 4th is still going, but no longer hunting. She's been retired for 2 years now. I still take her for a 15 minute woodcock hunt at the end of each...

If you need 4WD to get to your public hunting spot, you probably don't need to be out there! However there are some public spots you have to get off the paved road to access.. that is if you want to drive right up to it and park on top of it. It's generally the drifted snow that is going to...

I have a box of about 40 red fox tails I could send you!

My bad. The price did seem way out of line. And I would have driven 8 hours one way for a good dog too. Harper was from Wilkman's Buddy (sire) and Chamois' Bella Mae (Dam). I never met Andy but have talked with him a few times obviously. He was recommended to me almost 10 years ago.

I just checked Hunter's Point kennel and their dogs are very affordable and with titles. In the southeast you can't hardly get a backyard bred dog without training or hunting experience for under $500. I would have driven to Iowa or Wisconsin for the price difference. Waterdog09, I'm sure...

LC Sminth, Wiskey looks very similar to my Fox Red "Harper" I got from High Caliber Labs in Lenox SD. Whiskey is a very good looking dog.

https://www.drypondkennel.com/index.html Dry Pond Kennel in Johnston, SC. They do not breed yellows very often, mostly chocolates. Looks like you have a nice fox red. They are kind of hard to find. Willa is 1/2 fox red and 1/2 normal yellow... if that makes sense. Dry Pond kennel doesn't...

It will get into the 80s today. It was middle 50s when video was taken. Ticks are not too bad in the upstate around Clemson where i live but once you go about 80 miles towards the coast, the tick counts increase dramatically. The ticks are active all winter and sometimes you will come home...

I had Willa in SD first week in December and she did great. After a 45 day South Carolina woodcock season, she has really begun to put it together. The attached clip was taken the weekend after the season ended but I wanted to get a good video of her on point. I obviously have to work on the...

Glad to hear others were out taking advantage of the situation when most stayed home!

We were 25 miles radius of Armour.
