South Dakota pheasants

[Kurt Sauers]

Just got back from 4 days of hunting. First hunting trip in many a year first pheasant trip for my daughter's pup. Pup gained a lot of experience and had a blast. I had a blast watching her even in a down year saw plenty of birds but don't remember having trouble hitting them before. Saw around 200 or so in 3 pretty hard hunted days. Throw in seeing 5 nice bucks, 2 herds of pronghorns, and 10's of thousands of snow geese and it was a very enjoyable trip
