Good suggestion as well. I should be able to find something with all these suggestions. If you see a Pennsylvanian running two pudelpointers stop by and I will buy you a beer

Thank you for the information

Looking for lodging suggestions or visitor bureaus in or around the Ft Pierre National Grasslands. I am looking to come out the second week of November for some sharptail hunting mixed with some pheasant. I am a DIY hunter and bringing my two dogs. I have been having a difficult time finding...

I guess I will need to see what the other states are reporting. I hate to pass. Just out of curiosity when a condition is bad what kind of numbers would you expect to see per mile of hunting On public land?

We looked at webster but went with eureka. Ithe is our first trip from PA so anything will be better than the stocked birds we have.

I did the survey down by Hegins today . Our group only found 5 birds . Makes you question the viability of continuing the program. Definitely not enough habitat. Most fields in the area are cut to dirt. The fields we did walk were rather small with few habitat on neighboring farms.

Today the PGC preliminary approved the $25 a year pheasant stamp. Final approval likely in March.

Thanks for updates I made lodging reservations but plan to keep my eyes open for some spring updates to see the hatch numbers

Thanks all for the advice I don't mind walking or driving a bit
