You won't regret taking a trip for prairie birds, just do it. Hunted quail and pheasant since I was a kid (55 now), and took my first trip to ND for sharptails and huns in '20. Had a great trip, went back in '21 and '22, and it's gotten better each time. Pheasant will always be my favorite...

I agree, very well put.

This thread makes he glad that 99% of my hunting is either me and the dog..... or me, the wife, and the dog.

Here's what I use: https://water.weather.gov/precip/ I spend a ton of time between about May and Sept looking over various areas in the 5 states that I hunt. Incredibly helpful tool.

Good news for sure! Hoping the sharpies and huns made it through alright.

Great pics, as usual!!

Wow, that had to be a very cool thing to see!

"The winter didn't harm the pheasant population a bit" A statement like that makes it very hard to take that blog/press release serious. I'm sure some areas were hit harder than others. If the spring nesting conditions are good, a successful hatch would help make up for the winter losses...

I really like B & P ammo, particularly the nickel-plated Upland Game loads in 12 ga and 28 ga.

Glad to hear the dog is back with his family!!

That's fantastic, congratulations!!!!

Welcome to the forum. I got my first dog about a year ago, a Boykin Spaniel. This is her first season, and I'm using the Garmin Alpha 10, with the TT15 Mini collar. I've used it quite a bit so far this season- hunted ND for two weeks in Sept, a week in SD in Nov, plus a couple of days in KS on...

Chef Louie's in Mitchell was great, but as BB mentioned, it's gone. And by gone, I mean literally gone. The building has been demolished and that whole corner lot is completely empty now. Looks really strange. Sad to see it go. I had been to Cattleman's in Mitchell twice several years ago and...

Mine is 5 years old, got it in Nov '17. I've used it a lot, but no wear on the lettering.

RIP Breez. I got my first pup less than a year ago, and I'm already dreading the day when she's gone. Hang in there and enjoy the memories!

If it was me I'd hunt around Plankington, even though there is less public land. Definitely higher bird numbers there than Webster area.

Trulock Light Mod in my new-style Sweet 16 all season long for phez. I'll use that for sharptails & huns in Sept, and when I'm carrying my 28ga o/u it's IC/Mod.

I've had my new-style Sweet 16 for 5 years now. Absolutely love it. I have a Trulock light mod choke tube that I use about 95% of the time. That choke, and Golden Pheasant 1 & 1/8 oz of 5's has been a deadly combo for me. I've also used the Fiocchi High-Velocity 5's, and they actually patterned...

It's still been mostly hot. Was 107 on Tuesday, but that didn't seem to bother the birds. Drove around a bit that evening not long before a storm blew through. Good number of birds out on the roads, saw some half-grown chicks and one brood of about 10 that were smaller than quail. They could...

If you're passing through Sioux Falls, stop at the Scheel's. About the same selection as Cabela's in Mitchell, but definitely better prices. I was in the Scheel's 3 days ago, and the Cabela's yesterday.
