I hunt the same area in E/SE SD for 33 seasons now; best year in 18 years. The hatch was phenomenal, 97% of birds shot have been this years birds. First 6 weeks were 2, maybe 3 of us…last 6 weeks usually 4, 5, and one group of 6. Used up 4 licenses, 8 trips, mostly 4 days hunting, a few 5. Limits most days, mostly hunting private, 10% public? Lots of new public ground in my area, lots of bird production. Same with private, fair amount of fairly new CRP. Great carryover from last year…great hatch. My pup has had 40+ days between both Dakota’s…doing better than I ever hoped! Much fun!
