It's been a long road of planning my first trip to South Dakota. I've managed to get most of it done by online searches, lurking on great forums like this one and watching youtube videos. The only concerns I have require local knowledge from members on this site.
Here in Ohio we have Quail, woodcock, grouse and DNR released phesants. 90 percent of my upland hunting has been in wooded/ brushy areas and rarely required a shot of more than 30 yards. The knowledge I'm lookinig for is where to start with chokes in my over/under? I'm going ahead and buying steel loads cause I don't want to bring extra ammo for which areas i am going to hunt.
Also need dog info.....I have a flusher and can run a beeper and cow bell on his collar and not have to worry about flushing birds way out in front. Can i get away with this setup on wild birds or are they going to flush hundred yards out.
Any info is greatly appreciated!!!!
