We are hunting SouthDakota week 6 with 4 guys this is our first SD HUNT. We would be open to one or two more guys if they were a good fit . We all go to the same church but not holy rollers lol . We are from Toledo Ohio and two of us are driving out as we have 4 dogs 3 English pointers and 1 GSP . I am looking for one or two to share the ride so any state close could work Pa. Mi. In. Ky. Illinois ? I have a ford F-350 crew . We enjoy hunting and meeting others that enjoy hunting. Would prefer no more dogs . We are hunting the whole week starting north of Sioux Falls in Flandreau then heading to Miller mid week to a Uguide camp. The trip is Nov. 16 thru the 23. Thank you Tim Shaffer. :welcome: 419-466-6681.

Im just south of you guys in Dayton and would've liked to tag along but I can't take a vacation during holidays, Thanks MEIJER!!!!! However I am heading out to Mitchell/Chamberalin area a few weeks before your group. Are you driving all the way through???? I'm going to split mine in half and just wondered if anybody could recommend a pet friendly hotel. Good Luck on your trip!!!
 
My route goes through Madison wi. And there are a couple there . Your route is more southern through Indy and then northwest to Cedar Rapids ? I think . Have not decided yet about driving straight through yet . But so pumped all summer I think I will.... I drive and travel a lot for work. What kind of dog or dogs ?
 
I'm taking the south trip through Indy and hoping to make it Des Moines or Omaha for stopover. I've got a 5 year old Brittany and just about everybody I know has labs.
 
Will do.....I'm kinda regretting the dates I have picked. I picked early season because I figured the weather would be tolerable and the campground I'm staying at closes Nov 1. I couldn't take any time off from Thanksgiving to New Years cause that's Meijers busiest time. Any later than that I didn't want to drive through blizzards or freezing rain storms. And I'm going on this trip regardless!!!!!
 
Early is usually better from what I have read. We had our dogs out last weekend on some quail, went well in as much that only one of the 4 have had quail experience . Mich preserve season is open now (15th)so I think I will get some hens up there soon. They lay down more scent and that's what I am after anyway.
 
The few preserves around here don't start hunting until Sep1 but have chukar and quail for sale/training purposes. I started my refresher course last year with quail and they weren't strong flyers and was a waste of time/money. I think i'll wait until hens and roosters are ready and just keep dragging/ hiding my scent filled dummy around the yard.
 
Well we finally filled the spot I was asking for. Will be hooking up with a fellow hunter from Springfield ill. In Madison wi. He has been to the area we are going cant wait to pick his brain a bit on the trip . Only 88 more days lol 88. :cheers::welcome::D
