How are the pheasants?!

[Phunnyfarm]

I'm coming out for opener this weekend to SD...how are the pheasant numbers looking out there? Has the rains impacted them at all?

pheasant numbers are good. I think its gonna be a rough weekend though. With all this rain from the last week or so no crops have been taken out.

The land we will be hunting this weekend only has sunflowers out for crops and still has beans and corn to go yet.

Its supposed to be really windy on friday so maybe that will dry some stuff up for walking at least. I will take 60degrees and cool instead of the heat wave we had a couple years back on opener.

I know me and the dogs are ready Im just looking forward to getting out and hunting with my dogs.

No matter what the weather and what the conditions are...I'll be out hunting with family and the dogs, and that's what it's all about! I started hunting 2 years ago when it was so hot, and that was rough. Saturday sounds like it should be warm, but nice. Will bring some extra water along...for the dogs of course!

So are the birds just holding tight in all the corn that's still in then during the day?

I'm heading back to Aberdeen for a 3 day pheasant shoot in about 24 hours! Can't wait.

I'm leaving for the Brookings area in exactly 24 hours, and I don't know how I am going to get through them!
