Bman My critiques or observations have no bad or commercial motive. I want great bird numbers as well as every one else. I was asked what counties I frequent. Hutchinson. Bon Homme. Davison...

My replys are just observations from someone who actually lives in South Dakota year round..

[U guide from what I have seen was a wealth of information. He has commercial interests of course but his observations on current observed conditions were often ridiculed. Yes he slanted to optimism...

Like it or not. This is where the Play for Pay gets their Roosters. http://gisipheasantfarms.com/

Maybe he hunts preserves.

Yes the hatch is important to end numbers.

We saw our first hen with 2 chicks near Ethan on the pavement. Grass in the ditches is well over a foot tall already so unless the chicks are on the roads cant tell yet. We have seen a fair share of...

My comments are for general information not to call others out.

Its all about timing.

Its only a forum!

By the way there is so much grass now and insects for the chicks...Lets hope!

Thanks for the compliment. Ill be 66 this month and was carrying my Dads Michigan Roosters when I was 4 years old. Still feel the same about pheasants now as I did then, just a little more stiff in...

Hey we all have flaws. At least if it is my shooting flaws I can can retire my Remington 1187 and buy that Benelli Ethos I so want to buy. Of course when I think a new gun will make a difference. I...

I hate to disagree but bird numbers are not about the same as the last couple of years where I live, South central region. Yep 30 miles from Mitchell. I stop in the local coop and drink coffee all...

Well I had to ask..lol

Was the land private or public. Makes a little difference!

So tbob 131 do you dare enlighten us on the region you hunted?

Tally..Hunted 3 hours and saw 7 pheasants total. Was exactly what I saw preseason in these small CRP strips. Day was 55 degrees and misting rain.

I'm pumped! My seven month old lab worked her heart out and finally flushed a rooster that was holding tight in some thick CRP. Yes I made a one shot harvest after 3 hours of just me and the pup...
