Default Hard Earned Limits

This was a recent adventure near Presho, SD. Gathered a few PGCA members (Jeff Sweeter, Josh L., and myself) with a few other friends to try our luck at some VERY wild flushing roosters and potentially some grouse. While we were not successful on grouse, the group did very well to earn limits during the couple days we were together. 4-5 Parkers were shot over the course of the trip. Felt great to get this group to my home state with some glorious weather and landscape.

The team. A couple Parkers, one Fox, some vintage A5s, and what looks to be at least one "plastic" gun.


Here we have Josh L. way over his limit.


This is Oz. He worked his butt off over 2 days getting us mediocre sharpshooters our limits. Looks like he plans to keep this one himself.


Oz - he earned this nap. We burned a lot of ammo which equates to more miles on him.

Thanks for posting - brings back a lot of memories. About 15 years ago some local contacts in Pierre from back East took me hunting around Presho, Murdo, and several other crossroad sections I don't recall the names of. We had 3 great bird hunting days with perfect weather the weekend before Thanksgiving and got into pheasants and sharptails both; the day before Thanksgiving I narrowly got out of there just before daylight in a blinding snowstorm on the leading edge of a "Blue Norther" I think they called it. Went back in September of 2016 for a week-long hunt over in White River and got into both phez and sharptails, albeit a bit of a drive between good habitats for them there. Love hunting the Dakotas!

I got to hunt pheasants in South Dakota this year for the first time and it was a great experience

Looks like you had a great hunt. Our group hunts opening week about 50 mile or so west of Presho. The bird numbers were really good this year. Looks like you had the same good fortune. Hope tomorrow brings more of the same for you fellas, good luck !

That’s a great looking dog Dean. I had to cancel my first trip to SD this year because of a quarantine. Maybe next year.
