Don't mean to highjack the thread but also had few questions re: quail and along these lines. Pheasant hunt SE SD hard for the last 10 years, pretty much exclusively public. Have moved one covey total over that time period until this year. I've moved 3 separate coveys with between 10-15 birds...

It's getting worse all the time. In SE SD its averaging out to be about 4/10 WIA are huntable. The rest have been either totally rolled up, full section of crop ground with nothing else, or have been or currently being grazed. Obviously then congregates everyone to a limited number of pieces...

Cool thread and enjoyed reading the first two. Was walking a min maintenance with my brother. He was up on the road and i was down in the ditch. Dog went on point and a group of birds jumped up, he dropped one on the road, another in the ditch and i swung behind and dropped one behind. We...

Really appreciate you guys taking time and sharing insight. I much prefer hearing personal experience and success stories from here rather than googling online. I'm likely to do something with her this spring as its hard form me to watch her hobble around. Maybe leaning towards the TPLO. Will...

Hey guys just looking for any personal experience or advice. Had a great year here in SD chasing birds, but also had a very unfortunate event for my GSP. Long story short she was on point and when released let out a high pitched yip. Very weird, thought maybe she stepped on something as she...

Speaking of habitat, I've been on the road covering ground in SD and am shocked at how many WIA pieces have been hayed. Yesterday I went to 10 and 6 had been totally rolled up. Didn't leave strips, nothing. Huge bummer. Its my understanding the landowner has the ability to do that every so...

Hello all, i have gathered a group of high school buddies and the 7 of us will be doing a weekend hunt on Dec. 12th and 13th. I typically hunt SE SD just because thats where i call home, but in the past i have hated the DeSmet/Huron areas with varying levels of success. Love the small town...

Heading to the De Smet/Huron area the day after Christmas for a 2 day hunt with the family. Have a couple pieces of private ground we are allowed to hunt but work a lot of public also. Has anyone hunted this area recently, and if so any reports on how you did or bird #'s? Thanks in advanced...
