I just returned from a 12 day trip in SD. Drove up from MS on 11/3 . My dog and I Hunted public 11/4 thru 11/8.

Was supposed to meet 10 guys (also from MS) in Mitchell for a three day guided hunt on thurs. night (11/10) and hunt Fri, Sat and Sun.

Tues. night all 10 of them backed out on account of the cold and windy weather forecast, so I was on my own for the rest of the trip. They elected to reschedule for January

The farmer let me hunt his place by myself Wed (11/9) and Fri. (11/11); and paired me up with his cousin and a friend Saturday and Sunday.

Weather turned out considerably better than the forecast that scared the rest of my group into staying home. Temps im the 20-25 deg range with 10-20 mph winds. My dog and I filled out all four days after the weather turned.

All in all, it was a great trip and the conditions were not near as miserable as the weatherman forecast.

The weather man and the weather apps always hype everything up. I believe it has gotten worse as it's easy to keep checking your phone for updates. Everything you click it registers as traffic so they can get money from advertisers.
The whole world is going to hell.

You might not like hunting western KS then.

Already know I prefer hunting in light winds. I think everyone would if given the chance. But we hunt when we can in the conditions we get.
