Powerstroke Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 A great story once again Don! That grill pic looks amazing. That is exactly the kind of trip I'm dreaming of starting.

DonBo Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Thanks for all the kind words guys. These re-cap posts take a lot of time to put together. If there wasn't the response from you I doubt it would be worth the effort. Maybe one of these years I'll be able to post some pix of that big bruiser for ya.

CrewJones Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 great trip, what do the licenses end up costing you for fishing and hunting on this trip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBo Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 great trip, what do the licenses end up costing you for fishing and hunting on this trip? Deer went up to $285 this year, a $90 increase. Yikes. Bowhunter Ed is required.Turkey in our zone (WR Prairie) is I believe $90. It's good for two birds. There are tons of leftover permits, you can buy as many as you want.Fishing is $32 for three day, $60 annual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonBo Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Just got my deer tag and 4 turkey tags (FOUR!) for this year. Keep watch here for the 2012 recap. Hunt starts 10/12. The ranch owner said it's been REALLY dry. That sounds bad, but what it does is bring all the critters from up in the hills down to our little piece of river bottom heaven. Just over three weeks to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonBo Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 Ooooo, bad news. Many of you may have heard about EHD or Blue Tongue in pockets of So. Dakota, well count my hunting area as part of that. Landowner called last night and said they have found at least 12 dead deer along a short section of river bottom, including 5 bucks.So Dak is offering refunds of deer licenses in affected areas, and are considering closing the season entirely in some areas.Not sure if this will affect our hunt much or not. Honestly this area needs some serious thinning of the deer population, just too bad this is how it's happening. Even if 100 deer die on this particular piece of property, I believe there will still be at least 200 left for us to hunt. Even if the deer season were closed, or there were NO deer left, we'd probably still go just for the turkeys and trout.Either way, you'll get to read about the trip right here.

Scoot Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Bummer on the disease thinning the herd- I hope it doesn't get hit too hard. When do you go and when will you have a story for us? Regardless, good luck and have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
