Thanks for putting this together!!!!

Nice video. Having grown up in SD and having family still there, we get there pretty much every year. People from other states frequently ask about what is the best way to hunt SD. Your video basically reflects what I have been telling people for years. The onX is a great tool now..in the past I have pointed people to the GFP maps that have been available for many years - earlier as booklets and now online. Find an area you would like to hunt. Find a motel/hotel in the area. Map out a plan to cover the public areas within an hour of your motel. You could spend days trying to cover all of those areas. Life member for over 20 years. Planning the move back to SD in the next few years. Ain't nothin' like the prairie.

Nice video Andy! Look forward to more.

For 2022 grocery, gas, and ammo prices you might as well double the cost of everything.

@@libertyor556 Again another false idiotic comment. Why should I put up with whining boy-men who exaggerate like school girls? And do you have a clue what exponential growth is? Do you know what an exponent is? 2 to the 3rd power is what? Hint: 8. How about 2 to the 16th power? 65,536. 2 to the 32 power? 4,294,967,296. THATS exponential growth son. What we are experiencing is the most minor of linear growth. How do I pull these numbers from memory? I’m an X computer jockey. The world is run by 1’s and 0’s. The binary number system. So back to the real world - exponential growth would mean houses, gas, ammo 3 years from now will cost 8 times as much. Do you really expect to buy a box of pheasant loads for $200 in 2025?

@@libertyor556 See that’s the problem. I have peace. I hunt 5 days a week behind my pointers in the uplands and my CBR in the wetlands. Other seasons I’m similarly occupied in the great outdoors with other activities and sports. It seems it’s only fellow hunters who don’t live in the moment and are endlessly complaining about crap and bringing politics into the field. And they are just so incredibly uninformed and misinformed. They literally can’t apply or understand 7th grade math. They can’t apply high school economics. Inane crazy politicians along with their vacuous campaign mailings and TV ads manipulate them like bugs on a skillet. Like you and your absurd “Liberty or 556”. Unfortunately I assume that references sentiment for the losers and riff raff on 1/6 instead of where it belongs - supporting the nation of Ukraine and crushing Putin’s invasion.

Great video. I lower that cost a bit at the sacrifice of my own comfort. Hunt from a car to get lower fuel costs and try and camp at a KOA for a cheaper night stay. Not comfy but if it's what it takes to get on birds it's worth it. Love the video.

Well I will say one thing South Dakota has done one smart thing that is CRP with they now have plenty of birds come to California you pay through the nose the so called refuges have no pheasants and you purchase the birds to be released and hope you might get one.

The Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus) is a species of gamebird native to Asia, it is the largest of the four extant species of common pheasant, which is any constituting the genus Phasianus, in addition to being the only of the thirty-two extant pheasant species that has been introduced to many parts of the world, there are eighteen recognized subspecies within five subspecies groups: the Phasianus torquatus sohokhotensis group that contains the Strauch's Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus strauchi), the Sohokhoto Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus sohokhotensis), and the Alashan Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus alaschanicus), the Phasianus torquatus torquatus group that contains the Tonkinese Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus takatsukasae), the Shandong Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus shandongensis), the Sichuan Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus torquatus), the Hainan Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus hainanus), and the Formosan Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus formosanus), the Phasianus torquatus karpowi group that contains the Shansi Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus kiangsuensis), the Mandarin Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus liaoningensis), the Manchurian Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus pallasi), and the Korean Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus karpowi), the Phasianus torquatus hagenbecki group that contains the Kobdo Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus hagenbecki) and the Ruo Shui Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus edzinensis), and the Phasianus torquatus mongolicus group that contains the Mongolian Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus mongolicus), the Zerafshan Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus zerafschanicus), the Syr-Darya Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus turcestanicus), and the Aral Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus bergii).

Wish there was pheasant hunting in California. The department of fish& game here decided years ago since pheasants were not native to California that they would do nothing to try to protect or increase pheasant populations in the state. So they just pretty much turned their back on pheasants in California. I can’t remember the last time I saw a wild pheasant in California. It’s pretty sad. I remember doing a lot of pheasant hunting here when I was a kid with my dad.

You’re correct. I’ve hunted SD for years. The public is over hunted by local hunters. But don’t give up. There could be 0 birds in one section and 100 birds in the next section. Has been like that for 40 years.
