Ive never been to SD before, but what the heck, all seasons closed around here now, and I'm not getting any younger. He has hunted around there before so that helps. We will have my 3 seters and his lab to help us. I could have met another good friend in Kansas, might be better weather, and I've hunted there before. Any body hunted late season in SD?

Harold,
There are a couple of us members who reside here in the balmy southern part of the Dakotas. And yes, we hunt the late season. Was speaking to aa member today about going out tomorrow. It is 1 right now and a high of 19 tomorrow.
I have 2 pieces of advice for late season...1) Hit the heavy cover, the birds will be bunched up. 2) Keep an eye on your dog's feet. The snow right now is crusty/icy where we have it. It can be pretty rough on the cuticles and pads.
Best of luck!
