Well.. Don't get me wrong I love lurking on this forum and have met a few good folks. What I hate seeing from this forum is a guy posting in detail were they hunted and how many birds they saw. We stayed in xxx town and only hunted public. I personally feel thats something you could share in a private message. So many hunters read info posted on forums and flood the areas around said town.
As a fellow hunter that hunts that public area or SD resident who hunts public ground it brings more traffic to certain locations and makes a huge impact on the quality hunting in that area.I have obsevered this first hand pheasant hunting in kansas a few years ago. Detailed posting on two county ruined the hunting in said county for out of state hunters and locals.
I love the adventure, challenge, dog work, and journey of hunting SD public birds. I highly value my marked up hunters atlas that took numerous trips to get it that way. If yours is like mine , you know it wasn't cheap to get it that way. Please be considerate to others who also hunt said area and local.
Happy hunting. I'll be there in a couple weeks.
