On the SD pheasant opening weekend I will be hunting PC and Sharp Tail. Do I have to wait until noon to start if I'm not hunting pheasant? Question number two: I'm sure the PC and ST have had some pressure by now, would IM / M be better then M / IC?
Thanks for any help!!!
 
Prairie Chicken and Grouse shooting hours are Sunrise to Sunset. So no, you do not have to wait until noon on the pheasant opener.

I'm sure you would be fine with Mod/IC. You can always carry the IM choke with you in the field and change if you feel the need to tighten up. If they are getting real skittish you may even want to consider Full. With these choke recommendations I'm assuming you are using Lead. Steel I'd stay with Mod/IC.
 
Thanks for your help. Yes I am shooting lead. I've not read anything saying steel shot only on the grass lands. But I haven't had time to look real hard yet. I plan on taking some steel shot just in case we decide to hit some wetlands areas while I'm there.
