This is what I was told by a local. Is he a liar? I don't have a clue what the gain would be to lie about something like this. I know I am not lying about being given this info. Either way I will pay the fee for a license and a stamp. Just thought I would pass it along to the group. It...

Since the habitat stamp is being discussed.... I have some information obtained from a local on my last trip late Oct. He was told by the local warden that stamp monies in this area were being used for private land projects.. I thought this money was for habitat in general and funds being...

Just returned from a week in SD. Been replaying the week in my head and what we could of done better. Lack of cover, low bird numbers, miles walked and the rain & wind really put a damper on the week. We covered a 50-60 mile radius from the house. Its going to be a tough year even after the...

Small world Zach.... Good Luck!

Yes sir. Class of 92'

Good or bad bird numbers we always make our annual trips to South Dakota. The trip is all about the bird experience, sunsets and most importantly the dog work. I spend all summer at home in Wisconsin training pups for not only grouse at home but for the experience of chasing SD roosters...

I would agree. Between the drought and haying ditches, which was going on pretty heavily it will have some sort of impact.

Just returned home from 3 days in South Dakota prepping the house for fall as usual. Went out looking for birds mornings & evenings. Didn't see a large volume of pheasants in any areas I covered. But the corn is up and the birds I did see were using the corn for cover as usual. Bulk of what...

Just returned home to WI from spending the Labor day weekend in SD. Spent a good amount of time running my own survey over the 3 days I was on the ground. Numbers are looking very good from what I seen. Birds out running around morning, noon, and night. Seen multiple broods with double digit...

Just spend the 4th in SD getting the house up and running. What a difference a year makes when you look at the crops this year. It didn't look like there was a field that didn't get planted this year. Seems to be heavy to corn from what I seen in our area. Last year with the flooding I would...

Just returned from a long weekend in SD. Finished off some house work prepping for Late Nov trip. But did manage to get out and hunt and see how it would size up for the next trip. First of all just like I seen in July when I was out minimal crops and lots of open fields everywhere. I have...

JR, I would be more than happy to post any pictures you send along. I am glad to hear that the service went well yesterday and we feel bad that we weren't able to get back out there to attend. I feel for Bailey as well. It was amazing to see the bond Jim and Bailey had, from hunting the...

Drake1, I have a place south of Mitchell. I looked at the local area there all the way across to Platte and seen the same scenario regarding crops.

Well I just spend 4 days at my place in SD. We did run across birds at various stages. We seen paired up birds still breeding- very active-multiples, chicks that were as big as quail and new broods with hens that looked no more than 7-10 days old with how small they were. Now on to the...
