I don’t even know 12 pheasant hunters. As previously stated, split up into groups and get on the roads early to scout. Free continental breakfast saves more birds than anything,lol.

I just returned from a 4 day hunt. Birds seemed really jumpy. My guess is from lots of pressure. Plenty of guys hunting with the nice weather. I hunted all public. Managed 11 birds with a few missed. Birds are starting to bunch up but not many in the cattails where I was.

Stupid weather. We ended up canceling our trip this week. Hopefully winter will loosen its grip after this cold spell.

Pretty much how my way went too. Done in an hour. The dog caught one buried in the snow and I shot the others. Cattails were the ticket for me.

Well, where are these birds going to be holding today?? Cattails and deep ditches a good bet??

I stopped there yesterday. It was flooded with people buying anything they could get there hands on. There were no 12 ga loads other than trap and some 1 oz federal stuff. I did grab some 16 ga but when I saw the lines were 20+ deep I set it down and walked out. Found good 1 1/4 oz shells and 12...

I start my second 5 days today. Looks like it’s going to be a nasty day. I predict that regardless of the results it won’t soon be forgotten. Good luck if your out there today.

Just returned from Spink and Sanborn counties. I hunted all public ground with no ditch hunting. Many of my spots from past years were mowed or grazed as many have said. I had to do some searching to find birds on new ground. Water seemed to be key in finding birds. Just me and my two setters...

I carry small battery beard trimmer and shave those out. If it’s not a ball of mud it will be something unpleasant.

I hunted alone with just my setter Nacho. I stayed in Huron and hunted only public land. First off, the weather was great. No roaring winds the entire week. Hunting pressure seemed very sporadic. Hunted a 30 mile radius and never really had to worry about other hunters. This was my fourth trip...

He took over my bed when I went to gas up and never relinquished it. He earned that spot as far as I was concerned.

If hunting only one dog, don’t trash em the first 2 days. My setter is usually toast by the end of the trip. Here he is at the end of 5 days straight.

There were 2 roosters on a telephone wire in South Dakota, never would have believed that.

Warm weather sent us home a few days early. Hard to tell which one is dead. Might be back in December.

Just a tad on the breezy side today. Just got into town and hunted a couple hours around Huron. Hard to tell what’s around with that kind of wind but I did end up shooting two birds. Just me and the dog.

I’m on my way out to South Dakota for my second time next week. I had a blast last year and hunted exclusively public land. Just wondering what people‘s experiences were asking to hunt on private land. I just got back from North Dakota and was never turn down one time to hunt farms that were...

I was just wondering how the hunting was around Salem between Mitchell and Sioux Falls. The reason I ask is I'm coming all the way from Wisconsin just to hunt the weekend and didn't want to drive all the way to Huron where I hunted a couple weeks ago if I could find Birds closer to home. Salem...
