Well I know the reports will start pouring in around 10-12 days from now. I kinda own this topic for the last years. I thought I would jump on a go to location. Expecting the results to be very poor to worthless. I am back home now. Spent 14 days harvesting, saw more deer than birds. Drought was...
I did not start this thread to have people called thin skin. I started this to bring a boots on the ground live reporting of the bird numbers. Which are insanely low. I feel that at some point Uguide should acknowledge his commercial interest when reporting. Similar to CNN business or Fox New...
I am sorry to report the bad news. I have been helping Grandpa harvest beans for the last 3 days, just West of Pierre. We have seen one hen and one rooster. This season is going to be horrible. I do not know what else to say. I wish I could report better news. This is boots on the ground...
We had six guys out in the field yesterday. Averaging around .5 birds per guy. Greg and Cory who were in our hunting group ran across a guy and a girl in a parked car. Needless to say he was having a good hunt. As Greg and Cory walked by they never missed a beat. I guess he had a good Rooster...
Well fellow hunters, the time is nearing. Spoke with my Grandpa today and the machines are going to roll out of the shed next week. Going to cut some silage for the cattle. Everything in the State is very dry and looks like a super early crop harvest. He thought in two week the bean harvest will...
I think we should all take a step back and remind people these road side counts are accurate. This is STATE verified information. In an effort to maintain the pheasant population we should just build "The Wall"
I would reconsider your trip. It looks pretty bleak. I think some guys on here just want to escape their possessive wife. That is a ton of cash to spend with luke warm results at best. The cold hard facts are the state numbers are done by 20%. That is going to make hunting birds a challenge. I...
Bad new bad news
The information is accurate. I was just out at Grandpa's farm two weeks ago. I walked the same route as I have the last ten years. I normally see between 10-15 birds. I walked around an entire section of ground. 4 miles in total. I saw only saw one bird. It is going to be a...
