We hunted private two days and one day on public.

Wrapped up a three day hunt today in SW Nebraska. Pheasants were pretty wild but we managed to scratch out a few. Quail numbers were very comparable to what we experienced in 2017. Three full days of hunting we flushed 60-70 pheasants and 8 coveys of quail. Ended up with three roosters and 22...

Pretty good weekend in NW Missouri with my son and two labs. We managed to get two roosters and two quail. Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend!

I just returned home this evening from my second trip of the season. Hunted mostly public around Huron. I’ve hunted this area for the past 11 years and have made two trips most years. The first several years the hunting was absolutely incredible! This trip was exactly opposite and as far as bird...

Hunted hard in Beadle County today. Wind was nasty! We flushed significantly less birds compared to last years opener. Four guys and one lab flushed four roosters within shotgun range. Hunted same areas that have produced for the past 10 years. We will see what tomorrow brings. Still enjoyed...

Heading north for my 10th trip early Friday morning. I'm confident a good time will be had by all, regardless of the bird numbers. This trip will be bittersweet as it will likely be the last with my 11 year old lab. Whether he's picking up ducks, geese, quail or pheasants he has absolutely loved...

Myself and two buddies hunted on public land approximately 10 miles north of Chamberlain on 12-3-10. We got up early and drove seven hours straight to the area and hunted for about three hours. We managed to take six birds and could have had a couple more with a little better shooting. I've...

Myself and a hunting partner shot a banded rooster near Huron but it was not part of the Million $ contest. The band read "Rooster Rush 2010 Huron Chamber of Commerce". After calling the number on the band we were advised it was a $100 reward band. They said they released 10 birds in the area.

This discussion is getting out of hand. I'm sorry Landman but your whining reminds me of that kid in school who would get mad and take his ball home because things didn't go his way. Like it or not road hunting is legal and although you and I and many others choose not to hunt this way many...

Wessington/Huron area I just returned from a three day hunt in the Wessington/Huron area. Corn is coming out fast and I would estimate that they are approaching 75% complete in the area. We hunted a mix of public and private and met a lot of very generous land owners. Birds are heavy in the...

At the moment shooting a pheasant from a South Dakota road right of way is perfectly legal should a person follow a few simple rules that are clearly outlined in the hunting handbook. There comes a time when one must accept reality and move on... We all understand you dislike the guy who comes...

According to an online news article the limit increase has failed.

mollermd, Thanks for the info!! Corn in or out is still better than what we are faced with here in northwest Missouri. I'm heading north on Friday and I can't wait. Good luck the rest of the season.

Are the combines still making progress? I haven't had a chance to check the weather for the Huron area lately. Plan to be in the area on 12-4-09. Anyone have an estimate on the percentage of corn harvested in the Huron/Lake Thomson area?
