Congrats to you on having that old stud around for so many memories. He will live on, in your heart.

Sorry to hear reddog, will Breez be able to get out for a swan song yet this fall?

Its out. And damn, its not encouraging (of course). Looks like all the areas I hunt are down, some dramatically. Down 25%

You can definitely do it in the same day, with a ruffed and a pheasant. Only about an hour drive or less. Shoot me a PM if you want a general area

Here's what I saw as far as conditions go from a West to East trip across SD from the Black Hills area home to central MN. Black Hills are very lush and green. The grasslands arent doing too bad. Get to Chamberlain and the crops look really good, grass is green. Get about to Plankinton and...

Thank you all for your kind wishes and responses. The wound is still very fresh, but we are working through this. We got his cremains back yesterday so he is home. That is somehow comforting, and the little bush/landscaping I put in helps a little. Just one more pic of the 2 stooges

This might help me deal with what happened and it might not. Theres only one way to find out. I might not even hit submit on this but lets see. The past 2 days have been incredibly tough and I need to just put something down. Through this site, I became the proud owner of my first dog...

Ive shot a bunch of deer in my life already, so when my 13 yr old shot his buck opening morning, it wasnt a hard decision to forego the 2nd weekend of deer camp to take him out to SD pheasant hunting. (FWIW it was awesome). Plenty of venision in the freezer yet as of now.

I have learned that time spent in the field is not wasted. Memories of 2 roosters flying by my parked truck while sitting in it with my son - and then looking at each other wide eyed, like "Lets go get em"! Hunting with friends and family is better than hunting alone, you have alot better...

Agree ^^^ SD was a real treat this year, there was little debate. Minnesota on the other hand, was.... Fine. like gimruis, I found the extra hunters really decreased the quality of hunting here in MN. Giving SD a 9, and MN a 4. Maybe I didnt give it enough of a chance but the handful of...

I could look this up, but.... you guys are all knowing. Does SD still have a deal that if you buy your license XX days before the season closes you get your second 5 day hunt forwarded to next fall?

^^^ Except they don't get caught until years later and there can be lengthy legal battles that can cost MN taxpayers more money because of it. This is a no win situation from the side of enforcement. The buffer enforcement is easily seen from the road, that 3 acre pothole that was there (or...

Another little tip perhaps, is to emphasize "leaning into" the shot. Getting 70 / 30 % of your weight on the front foot helps you barrel down and reduces that recoil. I drill that into myself when shooting clays

I'm suprised you ended up with RICK, after a 540 spin I would have been too dizzy to hit em! (with the rage broadhead of course)

Ok finally have everything put away, cleaned up, and can start to stretch my muscles without wincing in pain ;) Day 1- 3 of us drove out with 2 dogs and it was warm! Like mid 50's, and dry as heck. We did some road hunting and scouted around, hit some low areas and picked off 4, then...

Dang, thats some good eatin' right there... you are right I love that state.

Good Boy, Buzz.... 😇

I was in SD a few weeks ago, and the beep function of the collar went to crap. It could still nick / shock my pup but I elected to have a happy dog running around, ranging too far rather than a dog afraid to be hunting for fear of a zap. I use the tone button constantly to "talk" to my...

That is a hell of a spur, nice report - PM sent

Im in St. Cloud, so yeah, about the same. I can hunt an hour west, but would rather do 2.
