Well it looks like due to Kansas being in not so great of shape, me and a couple buddies will instead head to Pierre, South Dakota. None of us have ever been to South Dakota so if anyone has any advice about the area, state, bird numbers, or any sort of tip at all please don't hesitate.
If you don't want to post it for all to see shoot me a pm and it'll stay between us. One of my buddies going has never been on an upland hunt before so I'm trying to get him hooked. We'll have 3 guys and 4 dogs between us so it should be a good time. When we go I'll be sure and post lots of pics! I've never seen a sharptail or hun so I'm excited about those possibilities just as much as I am gettin on more pheasant, maybe even more excited. November 11th can't come soon enough!!
 
Have not hunted in that area before. But if you are having trouble with birds flushing early try to put a blocker at the end of the field. Birds will have been pretty heavily hunted by then. Good luck
 
thanks for the tips. I think compared to all the other states, SoDak is very far ahead on bird numbers and even if they're down by SD standards, they should be way higher than the rest of the states.
 
Heading to that area today. We hunted there last year for the first time with some luck. Hope to have more this year I will let u know when we get back next week if I learned any tricks. ;)
 
not nearly as many birds in past and just as many hunters so I suspect it will be tough going if hunting public. Pierre area gets drilled. Maybe it will be cooler when you get there as that seems to keep hunters home. Good luck..work hard!
 
Well we pulling out of national grasslands as I type we put up plenty of birds today had a few long shots. Not many dead birds but dogs found them and worked great and that's all that matters to me!!! Great day of hunting
