I've been out doing some CRP maintenance at my place SW of Mitchell about 45 miles and I AM SEEING THE BIRDS!. No lie. I say this knowing the SD Road Counts are coming up and should support this. 2005 was a 40-year high but I project that this hatch will exceed that based on reports from other UGUIDE camps around the state (North Dakota is looking good too). I suspect that Minnesota may have a record year as well. I've probably seen over 100 broods in last 3 days with largest being 13 chicks. Chicks are all sizes too. The weeds seem to be moving everywhere you look.
 
:thumbsup: Just returned from a S.D. trip and golly for birds. I saw many different aged hatches and sizes of chicks, hens and roosters.. It was thick with birds in the mornings and evenings when driving around. This was in Deuel county where the birds have been way down for a lot of years. Most birds ever. Can just imagine how many birds are in the Pheasant belts across the state. Good hunting fella's.
