Watertown Report Well guys, It was tough. 1-2 birds per guy per day. Lots of corn still in, and lots of birds in the corn. Give it a couple weeks at least.

Thanks a lot for the encouraging post! We are leaving this afternoon, and coming back on Sunday. I will let you know how we do then!

Late hunt Yeah, that is the general consensus I have been getting from everyone. I wish that was an option for us. The hunting will probably only get better as time goes on.

Thanks Kevinj! I am heading out Wednesday after work. I will give a report next week.

Ditch hunting So, since this is my first hunt in SD I am not familiar with road hunting. I have read the regulations, but I want make sure I am legal. What exactly are the guidelines to use for this type of hunting?

Hey thanks! Were you hunting public or private?

Well, I don't think we are going to be able to get another dog in the next week. So, we are going to do the best with what we have. I am sure you are implying we need to get a guide, we may pursue that avenue, however if everyone is hunting private land (like it sounds) that leaves an awful...

2nd Street We definitely plan on it, more likely than not every night we are there. You have to love the aspect of pheasant hunting that allows you to sleep it off a bit!

Thanks! Thanks for your advice, any updates when you get back would be great. I will look into that guide service. Good Luck!

Crop Harvest in the area For those of you wondering about crop harvest status. I talked to an employee of a sporting goods store in watertown, and he said they will likely not be cutting the corn until after Thanksgiving. However, the beans should be mostly cut in the next couple of weeks...

Hey Guys, My brother, a buddy, and myself are going to be heading to Watertown, SD for a three day hunt on Nov. 10th. We have a well trained black lab that we will be hunting over. So, we have a small group, hunting public land...could be challenging. We are not afraid to drive a ways(1 - 1.5...
