I believe the SD has some requirement on outfitters to release some amount of pheasants based on the number of birds they harvest. I don’t know the exact language of the law so I could be wrong, but many outfitters in SD do supplement wild birds with pen raised birds. I’m not a pheasant guy so I hav...

That area won’t have many sand burrs, they would only be present around disturbed areas like edges of roads and possibly edges of crop fields, places like that. I’ve hunted KS from one corner to the next and the only area I have booted dogs due to burrs is the extreme Western reaches. A dog having s...

Have you considered getting a peddle driven kayak for him to use? A 10 year old could handle modern day peddle driven kayaks, and this would resolve any issues with long distance paddling. Obviously this would be a different dynamic than buying a boat, but you could get a peddle driven kayak and a t...

After a season where I wasn't able to travel near as much as normal due to what seemed like an endless number of unexpected issues, I'm planning to hit it very hard this coming season. Will start off with turkeys here in Oklahoma. Will also hunt turkeys in KS and MO. Planning to spend 3-4 we...

That country looks pretty parched. We got some rain closer to my neck of the woods (north of you) and have had some good hunting. I'm not buying the parasite stuff. Eye worms have been documented in quail for a long time, even when numbers were consistently higher than they have been for the last...

I am extremely paranoid about those collars being on. My dogs are generally out of sight while hunting, so I'm constantly checking the GPS. Was out hunting some high and weedy cover a few weeks ago and checked my collar to see where my pointer was, and had a low battery signal on my Alpha. The colla...

The gun is not critical, bring whatever you are comfortable shooting. I would take into account the weight of a gun more than anything, lugging around a very heavy gun could get old, but it’s not a huge deal. You would need to find out if you are going to need steel shot, some public land areas ...

One thing I would look at if I had a youth was the lottery draw youth hunts at state WMA's, as well as NWR's. I'm not sure what all is available for deer hunting, as I was only drawn for one deer hunt and that was down at PAC. I know that the South Farm youth deer hunt had a very high success level....

[quote]You can drive a camaro in russell sage and walk 50 yards from the vehicle and start hunting. I wish we had LESS access[/quote] Thank you. The amount of access on a lot of these WMA's is absolutely ridiculous. On most of them, you can't even get a half mile away from a road or ATV trail. I ...

As someone that lives and hunts primarily public land in OK, I would not recommend coming up here this season if you plan to hunt the eastern half of the state. Most all of the reservoirs have been well above flood stage since late May, none of these lakes are going to produce any food to hold birds...
