I started hunting in SD about six years ago I think. Before that I couldn't find it on the map. Order the hunting atlas and pick an area. Your boys are young, so you got time on your side. I don't. Develop the area over the next several years by hunting public, hitting the ditches (harder in ND because of right of way rules) and knocking on doors. Folks out there are the best the heartland has to offer, and they'll help you out if they can. The best hunting area in ND is the one you develop yourself, with time, effort, and decent shooting. Don't expect a turkey shoot the first times you go out. I still have trips out there, especially late in the season, that the closest I get to a bird is at KFC in Watertown. It's a process that takes time. Your goal is to get your boys to love the land, the people, the small town cafes, the black Angus herds, the incredible sunsets and cloud formations, and the memories, as much as the hunting. That takes time. I'm back out there next week, and whether I hit anything or not is just a small part of the equation. So pick an area. Linton, Ashley, Forman, wherever. Find a house to rent and enjoy every minute. Make it a yearly affair, so when your boys are so busy their heads are spinning, that they can look forward to a little time with the old man.
