Some pics from South Dakota

[Will]

I thought I'd share a few pics from our trips to South Dakota this year. We didn't have the best luck hunting but memories were made.

Here are the boys at the end of our first trip. Not much shooting, but they're still smiling.



We saw probably 50,000 snow and blue geese in the area. Here is one huge gaggle....or whatever you waterfowlers call it. The ground looks chisel plowed but that's actually geese on the ground as well as in flight.



And finally....my favorite....Cash locked up on point with my buddy's setter honoring while my buddy goes in for the flush. This point produced a hen but it's pretty anyway.



Yeah Reggie the setter found his fair share of birds, too. He's a hard nosed little bugger.....just always nice to see him honor my shorthair.

Looks like fun....where do you guys go in SD? My family is really looking for somewhere good to go that isnt too highly priced.

We hunt private land in eastern SD....just south of Brookings. On our second trip we decided to try public land around Brookings, Madison, and DeSmet. There is a ton of public land....and of course, a ton of public using it too!!

That's a beautiful point Cash has there.

Thank you....it was a pretty neat moment....the wind was coming strong across that frozen lake and the hen was down on the edge. As soon as he came up over that berm he locked up hard. Trust me we didn't have many birds sit long enough for pictures out there!!!

Will,

There's just enough resolution on the first photo so the youth on the right looks like "Harry Potter" !
