Home Forums Birds & Dogs Upland Game South Dakota public land late season Pheasants...

Arrived home 4 am this morning....Worst driving conditions were 5 miles from home...Go figure.

Anyway, the Birds were there in crazy numbers when you hit the right spots, however more than a little wild...weather was perfect for this time of year. Bud shot really well and did a number on them..




I had the opportunities to work on filling the proverbial pick-up, but shot worse than poorly...However, managed to come home with a few...




I lost that glove in November on a two track while taking a pic. This hunt going down the same track, I looked at Higgie and he had it in his mouth....




That is a Deer that scratched on that post; we came across some that were so thin you could have snapped them. Saw at least 100 Deer....When the corn is down they are out there...and if they even hear a vehicle are off to someplace else.

Ran into a few of these....




Higgie got his first nose full of Pheasants...at least 75 of them...but I blew a couple opportunities to bring his first wild Bird to ground..
