Looks like a couple of us are headed to KS late Saturday. Been an interesting year/ have a new grand baby, then I tested positive for Covid, grand baby scheduled for hip surgery but then she came up positive. Now surgery on Jan 26. Duck season in Arkansas is slow, wife said go and I have a young...

This will be our tenth or twelfth to chase birds up that way and are looking forward to the hunt. Looks like numbers are down but we plan to hunt hard on public and see what happens. We are basing in Platte till it looks like we need to make a move. Couple questions - would anyone want to point...

I have enjoyed the state of SD immensely over the last 8 -10 years. Thanks to each of you who have assisted in anyway. We are looking to return next year but I have a slight hurdle to overcome on the way. I have a ruptured disc and a degenerated spine that will require surgery on Feb 2. The docs...

We are looking at applying for antelope tags this year and would like to combine that with some upland bird hunting. We hunted antelope a few years back in unit 72 I think, just west of Casper. It will be public land unless we could find private for a small access fee. We are not in search of...

Short video of one of my Brits - Jinja- with a point. Not refined or anything but good for a dog that only gets to smell a bird about three or four days each year. https://youtu.be/X8SURuWB8do

We made it to SD early Sun morning after staying in Sioux Cit, IA. Immediately started driving and looking and have covered ground from Yankton to Presho. Had a private place to hunt above Presho and killed one midday Sunday. Found some birds on public late Sunday and were able to get 5 more...

We have a trip planned from Arkansas to head to SD on Saturday. I have been intently watching the weather and would like an opinion on a couple of things. We had originally planned to go to Pierre area, though we are not locked in to a certain area. My questions: Will we be able to navigate off...

We are headed up your way from Arkansas, end of next week. We have been a few times with decent success on public and gained some private access that has proven to be very good hunting. We will not have access to the private this year so it is back to public and we are looking at new territory...

We have been to SD several times and usually head that way in mid-December. We have been fortunate to buy our license after a certain date that allowed us to use 5 days one season and save the other 5 days for the next season. Anyone know what that date is this year? I looked on the SD website...

Had a great trip to SD this year. Once again were able to hunt some private ground along with some public and found birds both places but they seemed to be very wild, even on the private which had gotten very little pressure. We still did not see the bird numbers of a few years ago, but there...

Left AR late Saturday night after I finished teaching a Hunter Ed class and my friend got done with a rodeo. Got to SD middle of the day on Sunday and got our license (more on that later) and then headed out. We have been very fortunate to make some contacts up there and the guy once again had...

If we buy our license this Sunday, Dec 15, can the next 5 days be used next year? I saw a date on here the other day in reference to that but cannot find the post it was in, neither can I find that info on the SDGFP website. Headed that way Sat night from AR, looking forward to visiting again.

Spent a few days in SD the first of Dec and just want to give a short report. We were fortunate and got on some private land and were able to get several pheasants. After hunting primarily public in the past it was much different on public. Though the warm temps seem to make the birds jumpy, the...

Headed that way today from Arkanasas and looking forward to the trip. Two guys from church and myself will be starting in the Miller area and go from there. One of the guys worked up there for a few years so we have some contacts for private but are also looking forward to roaming around on some...

I have two Kicks tubes, one Mod and one Full. The Full is still in package, the modified has been opened and used for a few shots. I have bought a Browning and no longer need the Rem chokes. $70 includes shipping. Let me know if you are interested. Chuck

I had a brit and a yellow lab, both I trained myself and though neither would win any trials, they did what I needed them to do, find and retrieve birds. We hunted in SD, Kan, and on some preserves and my lab retrieved many, many doves and ducks here in AR. About two months ago I let my lab out...

Hope things are good in SD, we have had several days in 100's here in AR, but I think y'all have endured some of the same. Starting to think about the hunt this year, looking at the calendar, studying maps, etc. and that at least makes me think it is cooler. Looking at hunting west of the...

Well, sent my wife to Kampala, Uganda along with both my daughters (16 & 18) on a mission trip. Would appreciate prayers anyone could send. They will be doing a VBS on an island in Lake Victoria with no running water/electric for several days. There are some great folks they are working with...

Yes, I know this is all about pheasant hunting, but I have gotten so much good info from y'all in the past on bird hunting, dogs, etc that I hoped someone could give some big game info. Looking at mule deer and possibly antelope in either SD or NE. I like the fact the tags are otc, gives us a...

So far they are getting the best of us. Hunted in Platte area and saw very few birds, then headed north. Found a few more birds, but very few on public. Ended up getting a couple and missed a good chance at a sharptail, it just had to flush while I was crawling underneath a fence. Now in...
