SD 2011

Just got back from SD turkey hunting. Weather made it tough but we ended up 4 for 4. A few sheds found. Bird #'s were down this year but we still managed to find a few. My dad did not get a pic of his bird.

Congrats on your birds, with the weather this last weekend I am sure they were not easy to come buy.

Where is SD were you? I had plans to hunt over the weekend in Gregory county but our group decided to postpone until May.

We hunt tribal land. This year it went from 500 hunters 1000 permits to 250 hunters and 250 permits. Bird #'s were down and was tough adding in the weather. I'm glad they dropped the amount of permits because we didn't even see a bird driving around I know the weather didn't help but most years we would see them all over. The last two years they have gone down. Part of the problem was the tribe was allowing one tom and one hen the last two years to be shot.
