Hunted one of the local lakes this morning after scouting yesterday. We are starting to see some birds come into the area. I am sure they moved in on Monday and Tuesday with the north wind and the full moon. Mixed bag on the lake. Birds didn’t work well and were very content to raft and feed. They never left to feed and only flew when one of the dumb ones came to my decoys and I shot it. Then the lake would explode. Looks like the local geese are bunching up. Was able to harvest a limit of big Canadas. Just the front end right now, but we finally have huntable numbers.

Went out last friday in the afternoon with a friend. Decoyed a lil pond I have hunted the last 3 years, and it seems like this year there are fewer ducks in the area compared to the 2 previous years. Ended up with only one blue wing teal and a green wing. Went out Saturday morning, and saw a little more birds. Still only ended up wit only 2 birds. 2 blue wings. Heard shots all morning so I’m sure someone was gettin birds. Hope to go out this weekend again. I’ll let yall know how it goes. Happy hunting

HHMMM….. Is South Dakota a bad place to hunt waterfowl??????? It kind of seems like it when we don’t have any “State Volunteer Field Editors”. I thought last year, and the year before we had 3 or 4. I heard word last year that a big rig that rents alot of land from a farmer ran into a “Field Editor”, and there was a big conflict with him posting where the birds were and such. I thought this was America. Anyone else hear anything like this. message me…..

Does anyone know of some good public land around the Sioux Falls area. I am new to the area and would appreciate any help I could get. I also have field equipment so any places to field hunt would be of help as well. Thanks in advance and good luck to all this season.
