Four of us (me, dad, brother and son) arrived Saturday afternoon, unloaded and changed and hit a walk in a mile from the house I rented. Killed my first SD rooster within 30 minutes. Pup brought him right to my hand.
Day 1… saw few birds. Habitat not impressive. Killed 2 birds.
Day 2…saw few birds but we’d seen some flush wild the day before in a spot and made a plan and killed 3 late.
Day 3…headed north and east about 50 miles from where we were. Habitat was pathetic. Found birds in spots that didn’t look good at first glance. Off the road a ways. Hunted all public. Had luck today and three of us almost limited.
lessons learned. I hate bismuth 5 in the wind. Never again. I’ll drop to 4. Cost us three birds. Dirt CREP fields. One after another. Birds were in out of the way spots. Over the hill or just out of sight in spots that didn’t look good from the road. All in all a fun trip and am anxious to see it again in a year without habitat lacking.
