S. Dakota

anyone planning a hunt in the Pierre area this season?

yes I am planning to hunt south of Pierre about 60 miles or so

I envy you guys, I've been once and had a ball

Presho SD is where I will be in Nov,
4th year in a row

I admire you guys that make an annual pilgrimage up there. I've been trying to get a group together for a few years.

I've been offered a free hunt in Isabel SD. Hoping I get to take them up on the offer.

Just got back from running dogs in the White Lake area. Most birds I've seen in 4 years. They received rain when they needed it and the crops and hay fields are in great shape. Should be a good hunting season.

Where do I apply??

cz, I hope the chamberlain to Presho north to pierre area fared as good as the white lake area, I haven't heard any reports on the Pheasants but the grouse showed an increase in that area. I hope they had the timely rains like white lake, because they were very dry earlier.

jjf the farmers told us it was very dry until just after planting then the rains came in. Pheasants everywhere and we even found 2 covies of Huns. Farmer was shocked about the Huns. Said he hadn't seen any in 6 years.

That sounds like it may be better than last year which was a banner year for us compared to the 2 yrs.before that. We will be going up in Sept. for grouse and will scout it out.
thanks for the report.

And who needed a hunting buddy to go
With them to S.Dakota?????

I'm heading up there next month to pick up a new pup.

Pointer pup?

Brittany

I'll be up there in November. 3rd year in a row. Can't wait.

I'm headed to Gregory SD on opeining Day.

Are you doing the same thing as the past several years (same land, same hotel, same dates)?
