Rosey Running SD 2024

[Foxnut]

Made the 17 hour trip to Perkins County, SD for our annual hunting trip. Got here Friday evening about 6:30 p.m. woke up to a light covering of fresh snow and 10 degrees. Good news is we had minimal wind today and it warmed up to a balmy 22 degrees which was actually quite pleasant.

I have never seen so many birds. Pheasant, Sharp Tails, and Hungarian Partridge are all up compared to last two years which is saying a lot. Didn’t get a lot of pics but here are a couple. I limited out on Roosters and picked up 3 Huns. The Sharpies are busting out 40-50 yards ahead of the dogs so I never had a shot on one. Several others were able to pic a couple sharpies up.

One gulley we hunted had so many birds of all three species that it was overwhelming for both dog and man! We hunted a couple new places on the ranch that were also productive. I’ll post better and more pics over the next couple of days.

Beautiful pictures Brett, and when it comes to birds, you’ve gotta love South Dakota. I’ll bet Rosey is having fun. I hope you have a Fox out there.

Brett, I tried to send you a PM but it keeps showing in my outbox and I'm not sure if it Went through.

South Dakota is just a very special place for me. Great bird hunting and great friends. Doesn't get much better than that although I have hunted there with the snow and cold temps I could do without it. Thanks for the great pics Brett.

Daryl, SD is a special place for sure!! We choose to hunt late season due to everyone’s schedule so we know the odds for wind and snow increase for late November, part of the deal for sure!

Brett,

Sounds like a great trip minus the temps. Curious what Rosey and the rest of the dogs are? I imagine you are not running pointers if birds are busting out of range?
