Long story short I took some vacation and have January 3rd-January 13th off.. I planned to go to SD for another round of roosters, but of course it's supposed to be nearly single digits every day. Has anyone else made the trip in similar conditions? If so, what are some things you wished you...

Has anyone else had this issue.. seems like he broke a nail at one time and now it grows a bit funky and constantly rubs against his toe… he has a couple spots like this on his feet. Despite some licking when we’re done, it doesn’t slow him down. I’ve tried shaping the nail so it’s smooth on...

I’m always looks for ways to improve the trip.. So, for those of you who travel a ways to hunt and stay in hotels/airbnbs, outside of the essentials (gun, boots, good dogs, etc.) what are some items you bring with that have improved your trips? For me bringing a good lawn chair and vacuum...

Is it possible to get all 3... Huns, Sharpies, and no fear of rattlesnakes in September? I usually head to South Dakota in October to pheasant hunt, but I've always wanted to get a head start on the action and hunt in September. I wanted to get to MT but that's a bit further away, and it sounds...

I wanted to get one last pheasant hunting trip in to SD with my setters, but Mother Nature has something to say about that.. now I’m wondering if a trip down to Kansas would be worth my time depending on weather.. I would love to get into some quail and any pheasants or prairie chickens would be...

My dogs nuts tends to get pretty beat up and bloody nearly every time out. I’ve let them fully heal countless times but he’s a bottle rocket going through the grass and I don’t imagine that’ll change anytime soon.. Wondering if anyone has a good method to avoid this other than fixing my dog...

Come to SD for the opener.. Or, wait and come in early November? I have two dogs, one of which is a puppy (around 7 months) that will be making his first trip out.. I know in November more crops will be out and it'll likely be cooler, but I also wonder if bird numbers will be THAT MUCH higher...
