Saw zero birds. I avoided Deercreek because Everyone goes there. Also any areas they do pheasant releases. My over all opinion is the ODNR habitat looks like what deer hunters think pheasants would like. In complete honesty my dog did suffer a non-hunting related cut to her paw so I had a...

This year I’m not going out of state to hunt, so I have decided the dog and I will focus on native Ohio pheasants. I know there are a few wild ones around and I’ll give it my best shot, but I m not overly optimistic. I’ll report back what I find. Have a good season.

The dog and I were in South Dakota for four days and hunted 3 of them. We hunted in wind, rain, sleet and snow. The weather changed every hour it seemed like. The weather really cut into out hunting time, we hunted just a couple hours in the morning and two in the evening, take the afternoons...

Today I went out and put a couple things in the car and it was lightly snowing, 45 mins later it was really coming down. Temps were about 25 degrees, winds were blowing, but not as bad as yesterday and it was snowing good, when we got to our first spot. It’s my favorite hunting spot in south...

I left my house in Ohio yesterday and it was 65 degrees. Drove through the night and it stayed in the mid sixties all the way to Sioux City. About there it started misting and getting Colder. By the time I got into South Dakota it was 38 degrees and pouring down rain. I went and ate some...

Thank you all for the ideas. I think I’m definitely going to head out to the Black Hills area. I’ve really wanted to see them. I looked at Custer state park and that looks awesome. I’ve never heard of the minute man museum , but that looks cool, also like the car museum. I’m not much of a...

I am headed out to South Dakota the second week of November. It will be just the dog and me. My plan is to hunt two days and take a rest day, let the dog and I relax. i have been out there several times and this is the pattern I like. We will be either in the Mitchell or Aberdeen area, my...

I usually hunt South Dakota, but this year decided to try Kansas. The hard part was not knowing where to go. After years of going to South Dakota I know the area and where the birds might be. Based on my 5 days out there I would say it is worth the trip. The roosters are pretty smart and I...

Today I hunted in the morning, saw a bunch of roosters, unfortunately not where I could hunt them. Saw a hen fly into a marginal looking area, decided to see where she went. Found nothing, except 5 bucks and a bunch of does. On our walk back to the truck dog went on point, nothing there, she...

I messaged you

I’m staying in dodge city. I hunted today between here and great bend. I’m also from Ohio, and it’s a long drive.

I’m in Kansas now. Just got here today, my first time here. I only got to hunt a little, did not get here til noon. I agree with those that posted before, it is warm, dry and dusty. Only saw three pheasants today, none within shooting distance. But saw a bunch of quail. If the shooting was...

Yesterday we went to the northeast from Mitchell and hunted public land there. We started in a large WPA and I did not hold out much hope. It did not look to promising, but there was some cattails I thought held some promise. So we gave it a shot. My dog is young, she just turned three, and...

I go to South Dakota every year. This year I went first in late October. Hunting was ok but not great. I always wanted to do a late season hunt and this year I was able to sneak away and come back. So I got here this morning and hunted south of Mitchell. First thing is there was a lot of...

Just got back from South Dakota. Took a rookie dog out for her first trip, she ended up learning a lot. First day hunted public land near Mitchell. Plenty of birds there, could easily have had my limit in under an hour. However the theme to this trip was bad shooting. The birds were near the...
