Hello All,
I am making my first trip to SD this year. I have noticed in some other threads and in some pictures that many roads have very wide grassy areas between the track and crop fields. The states I have been hunting do not have these large grassy areas. I have also seen some write of hunting what we call waterways. I see these waterways as areas in a field that water runs through that are not plantable with crops because of the possibility of washout. Are these washes/waterways considered public areas that can be hunted as well? I certainly don't want to seem like an idiot but I would really like to understand these areas and what is accepted behavior by an ethical law abiding hunter in SD.
Very reluctant to pose these questions considering the tone on the forum recently. I wish we could all just try to get along. I have been on this forum for several years(under a different name) and have always considered it a place where gentleman gather to share information and the love of dogs and game birds.
Your replies will all be appreciated.
