    How do you feel about the Vikes' draft move to get McCarthy? They got a proven winner.

    Antelope geek

    I drew east Pennington, I have only ever hunted that unit due to it being close to our ranch. I am interested in hearing about your experience down there.

    South Dakota Pheasant hunt

    Extreme drought there, the farther north towards ND you get the worse the drought gets. I would expect to see very few new young birds from current year hatches, likely this season will rely upon older birds on hunts. The drought is rely tough south of Pierre as well.

    South Dakota Pheasant hunt

    I would pay attention to drought conditions this year as severe drought impacts pheasant hatch success in a huge way. I live north of Pierre and have only seen one hatch of hen with chicks to date. Our drought conditions are very severe and I hope the farther east areas are faring better, we are...

    Was 2020 your best hunting year ever?

    shortest shot on a big game animal?

    Thanks, that Delta hat has been on quite a few good days. It ended up getting a little bloody after I had taken it off while quartering that bull and rolled him over onto the bill. Pretty musky now but carrying memories of an epic solo hunt.

    shortest shot on a big game animal?

    I took my bull elk after bugling him in at 9 yards this past fall, too close to hear a thud from the bullet impact and too close to sight the rifle through the scope. He started running off after I pulled the trigger and I panicked, running up the ridge so that I could clear the timber and...

    How big must a bull or buck be to mount?

    I decided to mount my bull this year from Bennett County/Oglala Sioux Tribe. It really wasn't that tough to decide as he is way bigger than other SD elk that I have lucked out on. I am lucky to be a tribal member where there are big prairie elk herds and tags for members.

    Poll: Do-it-all freezer fillin' rifle

    A Tikka T3 30-06 has never failed me and will likely be what I take with me for any serious hunt I attempt in the lower 48.

    How big must a bull or buck be to mount?

    I decided to get him shoulder mounted, now I have to look at houses with taller/more wall space.
