Got to evacuate. I start vacation on 10-6-2016 and return to work on 11-3-2016. My son now 19 has vacation and was making his first trip out west to hunt pheasants. We were (are) planning on hunting SD for the first 5 days of the season. 10-15 thru 10-19. I along with my father have made this trip the last 5 years. However with my son and I being on vacation, having to evacuate anyway, and no reason to sit here in the rain. We thought we would let Jager our 3 yr old shorthair get in a little practice and work, up in ND since your season opens a week earlier. Guys I hate to cyber scout, but I need some help. I am looking for an area that my son and I can camp, can find federal land open to hunt, has either Chickens, Sharpies and Pheasants. I have hunted Ruffed Grouse and Pheasants for the past 30 years, I don't have a clue how to hunt a prairie chix, or a sharptail. Not sure I would recognize one if the dog pointed it. I would like to broaden my horizon a bit. We will be hunting in the Aberdeen SD area when the season opens so would like or prefer to hunt in this general area of ND if possible. Look guys we have a month off to just head west and bond, work the dog and watch the sunset on the prairie, killing a handful of birds to throw on the grill is just an added bonus. If you could throw me a tidbit like make sure you visit spot X for a beer, or don't speed on highway Y, any and all advice is welcome. Thanks folks,
Josh
