With the crops out and snow on the ground, I'm thinking any pieces of public land with CRP/Cattails would be perfect. The birds are hanging around those vital pieces of cover right now.

Yeah, I'm uncomfortable using my 20 gauge on geese, it'd only be compounded using a .410.

No kidding. :rolleyes:

As stupid as this may sound (and I've hunted pheasants for about 12 years now, which only makes me feel even more stupid for just realizing this), it took a local pheasant hunt yesterday for me to fully realize just how important quality habitat is to improve bird numbers. I live around Sioux...

The reason I even brought it up as one is because it's not unheard of for youngsters to start out on one here in SD.

Let me guess, Stoeger Condor? Love their semi autos, but can't say I've ever fired one of their pumps/doubles/singles.

Touche. ;)

Depending on the range you're popping off shots at, sure.

I really enjoy road hunting and covering ground during the late season. With crops out and snow on the ground, you really see just how big of a role important cover like CRP, shelter belts and cattail sloughs play in winter survival. It's one thing I noticed today for instance. I live in a...

Anyone (aside from first time/youth hunters) shooting a .410 regularly for pheasants? I'm debating about taking out my great-grandpa's old bolt action for a hunt or two before the season's out.

It's understandable, definitely. But it's also possible to fall absolutely in love with a product and not be a sales rep. Just want to clarify that. ;)

And for a limited time offer, I'll throw in a free case! :rolleyes: Give me the money and I'll buy it for you. :D Sorry to disappoint, but not a sales rep.

Great photo!

It was an excellent piece of film, that's for sure. However, I have serious doubts about that young married couple that bought a shotgun in Cabelas. :rolleyes:

That's another good point. I haven't been up towards the Watertown area in a couple weekends, but, with the snow, I have to imagine road hunting is the best way to go. As to the best cities with public land around them, Mitchell is probably your best bet.
