Todays Report from Pierre Rolled into town over the weekend and learning the area. Got a late start today due to the weather. Hunted some cattails on public land. Snow and wind. Dressed for the weather and at times it was pretty cold on the face even with the headgear. Eyes watering and...

Re South pass Been in Lander since last March for work. A:thumbsup:m still here. Had snow last week but quickly disappeared. Mid to high 80's this week. Two tracks are dry. Been hunting blues up in the high country. Beautiful time of year. Good luck! Marcus

Dog friendly motels Got back from hunting SD a couple of weeks ago. Stayed at the Comfort inn in Pierre. Stayed in a ground level room. Brought the dogs in the back door. Although I did see labs in the front lobby. Cost around $90 a night. That included a hot breakfast. Bacon,eggs, biscuits...

If you have a long haired dog like mine a golden it helps keep the burrs off. Also besides hunting safety the bright color helps you zoom in on them in heavy cover. When it's really cold he gets the Cabelas Neoprene vest. Early season its the nylon vest. Won't leave the truck without it. RAGIN...

Almost forgot! Oh Yeah I forgot. Here is what NE has to offer. Cody with some nice birds on public ground CRP. Can't wait to get out!

Count me in! Went for a drive last Sunday. Put over 500 Miles on the truck. Scouted WIA on the western edge of NE. Looked at several tracts in CO as well. CRP is in tough shape. But am commited to strap on the boots and give it a go! After all it is called hunting not limiting out! Would hate...

Driving down the road yesterday East of Fort Lupton.Saw something where I had to do a double take. Stopped and saw five roosters in a group on the shoulder . Several were non mature birds. The tail feathers were maybe 10" long. Was not able to get all five in the picture frame. Kind of lifted my...

12 gauge red label Bought a used 12 gauge Silver receiver Ruger red label a few years ago. Have used it exclusively for pheasant hunting in South Dakota, Nebraska and Colorado. Love the gun. Im a big guy in my mid fifties. It is not too heavy to pack all day. Beats the Browning pump I used to...

South Dakota Brad, Better check the SD regs. I believe it closes Dec 31 Ragin Rooster:(:(:(

Current report Bradhill, I am in NE now hunting until the end of season. I had been working in TX doing pipeline work. Finally got away for some late season hunting. I have been hunting from McCook to Imperial. There are birds there in the CRP (WIA) Rarely see birds graveling near the road...

Are you kidding me! Not sure if its worth the drive?It's always worth the drive. I have been working in Texas and it has been killing me missing all the season so far.I took an early layoff from the job I was working just to hunt. I drove 1100 miles to hunt CO and NE. I am starting hunting...

RE Goldens Hunter 1971 I have had my Golden Cody for four years.As a pup of seven weeks brought him home and played with pheasant wings when ever possible. Made it a fun time.Worked with him and wings tied onto a bumper. But didn't have all the time to spend training that I wanted. First year...

Hunted up near Mobridge. Hit some cattails early on the lee side of a ridge top. Knocked one rooster down. Dog couldn't find it. Had a chance at another but missed. Other birds were getting up out of range. Goin a million miles an hour with the wind. Suprising they can still sense you coming...

Im from out of state and bought my small game license the other day at Walmart in Great Bend. It was like $77 and some change. It was a 2010 license. As far as the weather goes it has been sunny and in the 40's. Below freezing at night. The farm roads up Great Bend still have some snow and slimy...

What I carry The thought came up what I carry in my vest. I sometimes get out 2 or 3 miles from my truck in creek bottoms and such. In inclement weather, Snow and cold it would be even more important to be prepared for the worst. I also carry some waterproof matches, flashlight and a sharp...
