We ( two hunters and 2 good Brittany's) just returned from 6 days afield, hunting public land located in four central counties around Mitchell and Huron. Averaged seeing a total of 50 birds a day, that said, it was some of the toughest conditions to bag birds we've experienced in a while...

from Hailing from Michigan and spending most of my hunting days chasing a mixed bag of pheasant and quail I share your pain . Just a little info you may find interesting. Passing through Wisconsin on our return from South Dakota hunt last year , what did we spot? Along the shoulder of the...

Thanks for the report Jim. It's always a surprise how well the birds know the sunset table, usually come out 30 seconds after shooting hours. LOL:)

Thanks for the report Boomer, will be out in a couple weeks. Just wanted to see how dire the numbers are, it's always time well spent regardless.:)

Yes, I guess you could say that, have not used this site since it changed many years ago, only been going to SD for 13 years. That said, they used to have a youth and resident opener, prior to the regular open, thought someone might post a report or two?:) I can tell you my home state opener...

Waiting to hear from hunters, boots on the ground reports. Is anybody out there? :)

Looking for those experienced in hunting AZ and NM. Heading that way this week, traveling with my Brittany's . Any opportunity's for a newbie to these states to see any birds. Have hunted Texas once, SD extensively , but nothing this far south. Regards

Good to know. Also,Will be passing through NM for a couple days next week going to Az from Kansas, on Hwy 40, or 25 to 40. Is there any opportunity for quail on public land in the north, Lake Havasu Area? Have you ever hunted Nm? I will have my Brittany's with me and thought maybe it's worth a...

Will be passing through NM for a couple days next week going to Az from Kansas, on Hwy 40, or 25 to 40. Is there any opportunity for quail on public land in the north? I will have my Brittany's with me and thought maybe it's worth a shot in the dark? Any info most appreciated. Regards

Have camped during the season before but not in Huron, there are campgrounds though. May want to contact chamber of commerce to see who stays open. Weather changes quickly and can freeze up fast, many parks shut water down as a result, usually still ok in October. We found it much easier to get...

Sounds like we follow the same path. I look forward to my annual trip to S.D., even with numbers way down last year, it's still great. Just curious if anyone is seeing any birds at all in our neck of the woods?:) GOOD KUCK

Our own homegrown Road/Field Survey. Thought it would be interesting, to see if or where there are any birds. No need to be specific, just general area, district or county. Good Luck!:)

A success story in American Capitalism. Your friend must be providing a good product.:)

The Obama Administration, for no good reason except to irritate hunters,has started closing federal public hunting lands. This includes Water Fowl Production Areas. Has anyone noticed?
