This will be my 30th year hunting SD, started when I was 13 going with my dad and uncle. My dad passed 11 years ago and I will always carry on the tradition of SD trips, now I go with a couple good friends that share the same passion for upland hunting as I do.

I hope to make a trip to SD in January. I hunt up on the Canadian so I'm used to harsh weather and snow.The license is kind of spendy,but the people are friendly.

Anybody stopping by the Prairie Chicken Friday night?

Not sure how many of you are planning to hunt on Sunday, but it looks quite warm. Near 80 in eastern SD. Keep an eye on your 4 legged friends. Don't run them into the ground in that heat.

This week's crop report is out, corn harvest was way behind both last year and historical average but made major progress over the last week.

And as dry as it is...stay away from patches with mean seeds !

No surprise about corn. It was way ahead of schedule in MN. More than half of it is out. And more every day.

Last year was my first year, 22hr drive. Going back this year and fully intend it to be a yearly tradition that I’ll pass on to my sons when they’re old enough. Also drew a waterfowl license those year so me and the dog are going to be spent but can wait to hear out there the first week of November
