    Hunting private ground in your state

    Really hit or miss here in SD. I usually go about 1 for 5 in asking permission for waterfowl; worse success during peak migration. What's funny is for me it's been 10 times as hard to get permission for ducks as it has been for rifle deer. Find a farmer that hates deer and keep some good...

    How to mount red dot for dmr

    Not sure any ring cap style mount would clear that turret. I'd look at 45 degree mounts from ADM, Reptilla, or Geissele.

    Best waterfowl forums/classifieds?

    most forums have had about 90% reductions in traffic, everybody's pretty much moved to various facebook groups. Facebook marketplace for gear, or various waterfowl gear trader pages on facebook. Refuge Forums still has decent traffic but Vertical Scope bought up most of the others and killed...

    Long Term Repercussions of Sports

    Only sports injuries I had were a fractured growth plate in my heel in 7th grade and a partially torn meniscus in my left knee halfway through my junior football season. Had an MRI but no surgery, just wore a brace the remainder of the season. We didn't have very good coaching when it came to...

    2023 Black Hills South Dakota Merriam Turkey Help?

    The single largest flock we saw was at that rancher's feedlot, totaling somewhere between 100-150 birds. I thought I saved a shapchat video as we drove by but apparently I didn't. It was crazy; there were birds literally standing under the semi & grain trailer eating every last kernel of corn...

    2023 Black Hills South Dakota Merriam Turkey Help?

    2023 Black Hills South Dakota Merriam Turkey Help?

    We saw no less than 500 turkeys while spending a week in the hills between christmas and new years. I had a cow elk tag, buddy had a statewide muzzleloader tag targeting muleys. I won't narrow it down any further in regards to numbers near public other than to say we stayed in Custer (lots of...

    20ga convert waterfowl

    I'm always on the look out for a semi-auto 20 gauge for a steal of a deal, but so far no luck. I'd simply use it for the "something different" mentality, and to also play with TSS and HW15 loads until my daughter grows into it then it would be hers. Recoil doesn't bother me at all...I'm the guy...

    South Dakota Pheasants

    As an SD resident, I'm a little jaded when it comes to pheasants for a variety of reasons but you'll have a fun trip. If it's just you and your dog, don't put any pressure on yourself. Just bounce from piece to piece and hunt the best you can. Some areas will have good numbers, some areas will...

    Goose Call

    You can go through 100 calls before you find a setup that fits you best. Or, while learning to run the call, you can also learn to tune the call. How the call is tuned is 10x more important than the logo engraved on the side. Some might sound better tuned higher or lower, some might take more...

    Trouble Duck Calling (Please Help LOL)

    There's so many instructionals out there available on youtube and call company websites; it may take a while to find a technique variation/teaching instruction method that works for you, but once you find it, it comes together pretty quick. For me it was an old time gunner from eastern MN that...

    Shotgun loads for coyote?

    I've shot dozens of yotes and fox with shotgun. Lead BB is the minimum I would use on yotes, lead 2's for fox. 3.5" #4 buck was my go-to through a patternmaster choke for years before I switched to tungsten loads. I've shot a half dozen coyotes with steel BB, 2's, or 1's, all while goose...

    Minnesota shotgun zone changes??

    Here's some arguments in favor of eliminating the shotgun zone: There are way less large hunting parties today doing post/drive style hunts vs. 20 years ago. Modern muzzleloaders, rifle caliber pistols, and modern purpose built rifled shotguns have extended effective range from 50-75 yards...
