Huron/Mitchell/Aberdeen/Woonsocket


Recommended Posts

Hey, just wondering how the birds are doing this year in the general area, preferably woonsocket, have relatives in woonsocket with a farm and probably heading out there again in Nov, or Oct, how was the spring, and summer?

Thanks,
good hunting!

Pheasant numbers are about the same as last year. Most places the numbers are down slightly from last year. Should be as good as last year. I've seen some small pheasants about 3 weeks ago, so some of the young rooster might be hard to tell apart for a hen.

Good luck and post how you do if you plan on going.

From my trecks around the countryside lately I have been seeing those tiny birds gain some color. I think it was a later than normal hatch due to the heavy rains we had this spring. I am still find the birds to be more concetrated in certain areas. It seems to vary from mile to mile. I am licking my chops for the first taste of rooster this fall. It should be a great year.

Got back Friday the 5th from the Huron/Woonsocket area.Most of the corn was still in as of then.Some beans were still in also.

The birds are relating to the corn big time. We found most of our birds in heavy cover next to the corn.

When all that corn finally comes down,it should make for some great hunting.

Was up by Hayti hunting. Tons of birds. Most of the birds are still in the corn Strips, but we did get into nice bunch in a grass draw. We couldn't hit anything, but did see plenty. I would say 75% of the corn is gone. They were combining the big fields today. Hunting can only keep getting better.

JM,

In most cases the elevators cannot take the corn and dry it as fast as the farmers are bringing it in. The result is the farmer waits in line at the elevator for 2 hours or more to dump a wagon/truck. Many of the farmers I know around Arlington took off to hunt deer with hopes of shorter lines when they return.

Some of the farmers just run large opperations and it takes a month or so do finnish up the corn harvest.

On another note I was out and about this weekend only to find plenty of pheasants, even got into a covy of partride. we found the pheasants in small patches of standing corn and nearby grass.

got back sunday night. weather was horrible, too windy, except for the day we left,of course. saw alot of birds, between four of us, we didnt do that good or that bad. I could see one pheasant the whole weekend with my$100 license, and still have a blast no matter what. Ilove it out there. Tons and tons and tons of ducks and geese, never seen that many mallards before, just unbelievable.

I hear you about the waterfowl numbers up there. People in southern SD and parts south cry about not seeing any ducks. They dont realize that NE SD can hold 10 million ducks with room to spare. You see one lake with 50,000 on it. Gee, wonder why those guys arent seeing any ducks.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
