My theory is that maybe if more people participate in the sport, more people will care about land and wildlife conservation. Which will hopefully lead to the issue getting more attention than it currently does.

My season started out well, later in the season things started to decline. Overall I would give it an 8. Early in the year went to MT where I shot my first hun, shot my first prairie chicken in SD a couple weeks later. Things for me started to diminish when I stayed in MN and hunted public land...

Went out on Saturday to SWish MN and had the opposite experience, a ton of hunters, a decent amount of birds in both the grass and cattails. I had a harder time finding a place to hunt than I did birds. The snow did beat down a lot of the ground cover, but there was very little still on the...

Went out Saturday morning, made one walk and went home. Too many people! Did see a few birds on that walk, so that was promising. I will be out more this week and weekend.

Is anyone changing their plans because of the warmer temps this weekend? Actually considering heading way north to see if I can't find some sharpies.

We hunted Thurs, Fri, and Sat. Saw plenty of birds, but they were getting up way out of range, we were able to get a couple of coveys to hold and ended up coming home with 2. We did come across one rattler on our final walk on Saturday. Leashed the dog and walked out, didn't want to deal with...

Has anyone been out on Ft Pierre hunting sharpies? I am heading out there tomorrow and was curious if anyone had any bird reports.

The SW region had a 146% increase over last year. Looking like it will be a great year!

Changed my mind, I am still going just looks like Saturday will be a short morning hunt (hopefully) and then a lot of time to scout.

Heading to either Montana or Nebraska for sharps this weekend depending on weather. I have 4 days, looking forward to it!

Heading to the Sandhills next weekend to try my luck. I've never been, going to tent camp in the national forest and see how it goes. I will report back.

I have taken the dog out a few times to run on public lands. First time ran into a few broods, the second time we didn't run into anything. Planning on going again tomorrow to see what we can find.

Heading to Nebraska over Labor Day for sharpies, then SD end of Sept for more sharpies, A lot of MN day and weekend trips for pheasants, SD pheasants mid November. This working from home thing will be great for my hunting, I can work anywhere I have an internet connection.

Anyone have any recommendations for a motel in the Chamberlain area that is dog friendly? Or know of a house/apartment available that I could rent. Myself and 2 buddies are working on a trip. We prefer the Motel rather than hotel. It is easier with the dogs and gear.

The 2019 roadside survery just came out. Down 17%, with the wet spring and somewhat snowy winter it is about what I expected. I'll still be out there chasing birds! https://files.dnr.state.mn.us/recreation/hunting/pheasant/roadside_survey19.pdf

As we get closer to fall, I am sure everyone is starting to get the itch. What trips to do you have planned this year? I only have a trip to SD planned for the weekend of Nov 15th. I tend to plan trips a couple days in advance. Usually sleep in the truck if I can't find a cheap motel room. Might...
