I have been hunting Aberdeen area sporatically for the last 10 years as a non resident. It seems to me that the water level in some ponds has been decreesing over that span. Some potholes also have dried up. I was wondering with the winter you had this year if the water level has increased or...
Yes we stayed their two times and thats where were probably going to end up this year also. Its a nice place, had a few minor issues last year but nothing major. Thanks
looking for something different. We have been out several years at different places. Just seeing if anyone had a house or something to rent this comming year, that may not be on the internet or advertised on huntsd.com and such. We have a party of appx. 12 and maybe 10 dogs or so. Basically...

If you hunt all day and depending on the temperature she may wear out towards the end of your trip. We are from PA. and a dog in great shape in pa is probably a dog in poor to fair shape in SD. Hunting ducks at dawn then hunting pheasant from 10 till dusk our dogs need a day off around day...
You may also want to look into the Nonresident Waterfowl Lisence. You will be in a pretty decent area for that. We hunted waterfowl in morning then hit pheasants at 10am worked out nice
