I hunter near Madison over the last week. Limited every day that had high winds. And came up one bird short on days like today when they were not holding well with the nice weather. It was just me and two dogs. One seasoned, and one pup. I never hunted more than an three hours on any given day...

Who has hit cat tails? I'm heading out on Thursday with 6 guns. My intent is the same as always. Find some water, walk the cat tails. Even in the tough years I did ok walking cat tails solo with one dog on WIA. How many of these bad reports are from people walking the easy stuff that is...

Wondering how the cool weather will change things. Birds should group up and dogs can work harder in the cool temps. I'm heading to SD next week for two weeks. Even last year hunting public land I saw plenty of birds.

Lol I do have my priorities. We went to The Stanley early because we are always on our annual trip to SD for for pheasants and deer hunting. I was actually on a mentored hunt with my son on the actual day. LOL

Sure wish I could have made it. Off Base Commander said we were staying at a hotel for our anneversery. Her priorities are all messed up. LOL Sure would love to see some pictures.

Can I get a price as well?

Depends on the party. If I have my kids I stay close to the road, mostly ditches and stuff. When it's just me, I look for cat tails close to a feed source. Sloughs in grain fields where no one else wants to walk. You can't hunt until after the birds have transitioned from morning feeding to...

Steel Forks I love it out there. It's time and money well spent. I love the no time limits, atmosphere, and the different terrains to hunt. Some great places to take my 4 year old, and also some more challenging areas.

Hal, sent you a text. If you don't get texts will try calling later on today. I have some ideas for potential sponsors.

Sir, Not sure of the cabins type thing. I know there are some motels in the area that allow for pets during hunting season. I know there are cabins at Lake Hermin and Lake Madison, but I don't know if they have showers and stuff.

Listen, if you want to go and support the local community, then so be it. I'm from SD and most of those small towns survive on your dollars. Feel free to hit them up. In fact please do. In years when ranch land suffers due to drought, SE SD stays well irrigated, lush and green. Just wait...

James River Drainage I hunt back home every year and always, ALWAYS, have a chance at a limit. I hunt mid november around Madison and Salem. A lot of WIA areas close to town and the populations there are low, as far as out of state hunters. I only hunt public mostly because why bother asking...

Experinece has dictated most out of state hunters hunt in large parties and avoid the hard walking stuff

I always bird hunt back home on public land durning deer season. Deer hunters push alot of birds from private land to WIA areas. It was a down year last year and I walked cattails and limited everyday in late november in a couple of hours. Walk the edges of sloughs and only shoot those who...

any other clinics you are aware of?
