Plankington,SD Can't wait we are leaving on Oct. 21 It will be my 15th year there.

[FishHawk11]

Just outside ortonville, hopefully theres more pheasants than ducks.

[kaz2611]

I'll be out with my nephew somewhere around ortonvillewill hit a few spots right away if we dont fill out we will hit a few more spots im expecting the area to be full of chinese chicken chasers but we have private landto hunt so crowds shouldnt be an issue. GOOD LUCK TO ALL !

[Grant Pearson]

I'll be west of cyrus a little ways. Some public land that's really good, and I know a farmer that has CRP bordered on 3 sides by public land and corn on the 4th side. Guess where I'll be hunting...........

[setterguy]

grouse hunting...

[Snag]

I'll be out towards Montevideo.

[muzzy]

Kind of down and out right now. Two hours ago I took my lab out for a bike ride and a neighbor's dog t-boned him while in a full run and bit him in the abdomen (over a two inch tear)...looks like I shot him with a broadhead. Just trying to get a good workout in before opener and now we have to wait til it heals. The wife and I stapled him shut for the night and will get him stitched good tomorrow

[gonefishin11]

Muzzy... Sorry to hear that.

I will be hunting around the wheaton/graceville area, where my dad grew up.

[carpshooterdeluxe]

south west of la qui parle high school. i think a few of us are going to be late for opener though; we've got ducks and geese to pound first...

[Tippman]

St. Martin or Foley area for me.

[Harmonica Bear]

Go get your pheasants... HEE HEE.. I'm leaving tomorrow for Williams and Beltrami Island, 5 days of grousin and woodcockin! I love the pheasant opener!

Muzzy Sorry to hear that. I know the feeling thought. A few years ago, my pup got hit by a drunk driver at 5 a.m. opener morning. The driver swerved into the yard and hit the dog and drove off. It's a good thing the cops found him before I did......

[muzzy]

Not a cool story to hear. I hope they hit the drunk driver hard with fines not that it would help your loss at all.

I'll hopefully get out in a couple of weeks...going to Marshall/Ruthton area...hope there are some birds left!

Good luck to all

Muzzy

I'll be about 100 yards outside of my back door.

Prairie living has at least one perk.

[311Hemi]

The Wilmar area on public and then private land for 3 days this weekend, and then SW North Dakota for 4 days the following weekend.

[BobT]

My back yard.

[jigging-matt]

Somewhere in the Willmar area, on some friends private land. Never been there before, but they say it is great.

[lawdog]

I'm going to go try just West of Duluth! Rumor has it that's where all the pheasants are this year...

[Mr. B]

Just to give all you guys heading towards Willmar a heads up. While driving to and from work (Glenwood to Willmar) I have not been seeing any birds. Because I am so friendly I thought I would pass this along and give you guys time to change your plans. I would hate to think of you guys driving all this way just to get a good walk.

Of course if you do head this way and see a few guys hunting over black labs wave it might just be me.

[uplander]

I'll be grousin as well. Plenty of time to chase ditch-parrots when it gets a little colder....Have fun though guys and good luck...uplander

[jnorm1984]

Montevideo, and Boyd area for me...It will be good to get back home...
