You may walk all week to get 3 pheasants in that area. Great grouse hunting though. For pheasants think South Central to South West part of state. Get an atlas, start driving, find the spots with habitat, start hunting.

My partner and I had our limit of 6 plus a quail by 10 am. Had a few flush long but several good points on hens along with the roosters. Got hot quick, we were actually headed back to truck to call it a day when the last bird was pointed. Another group of 5 friends had 14 before they quit due to...

Thanks for the replies. Don't need any amenities. Primitive is fine. Right now we're thinking Buryanek state park. Looks like a nice place with plenty of land near by. Also might try Elm Creek public use area on east side. Should be a scenic hunt and hopefully a few birds. I know we could find...

My buddy and I are going up the weekend before Thanksgiving. This will be our first trip to South Dakota believe it or not and we would like to camp on the river and hunt corp land along the river. Our thinking is that we hunt fields all the time so the thought of hunting the river bluffs and...

Well week one in the bag. My hunting partner and I have been out four timess to three different pieces of public ground in the south central part of the state. Most birds we've put up in a few years. Have 18 in the bag between us with a few misses and the cover looks great. I think this could be...

Then you'll have...

Been using the bird n lite strap vest for a couple years and really like it except the waist belt doesn't want to stay on my waist. It wants to be around my belly no matter how I adjust the strap. Does the wing works vest have this problem?

There are plenty of birds to be had in south central neb. Just not every piece of public has them in good numbers. This last weekend me and my partner limited both mornings off a piece of public ground that we had to ourselves. The reason is that we scouted and walked preseason and it is easy to...

South Central Not all doom and gloom My hunting partner and I hunted sat. and sun. on public land with our two dogs. Saturday - 6 birds in the bag by 11a.m. with 4 missed birds. Put up well over 30 birds. Sunday - 6 birds in bag by 10 a.m. with one missed bird. Put up only about 20 birds but...
