Surf 'n Turf 2024

Our annual trip to Pierre for South Dakotas resident only pheasant opener and walleye fishing on the Missouri River is in the books. Another fantastic trip with a lot of birds and hungry walleyes. Time spent in the outdoors with good friends and dogs is always to be cherished. The SDGFP does a great job managing and maintaining tons of public hunting areas. The food crops and shelter belts are looking superb. The walleye fishing as always was excellent. I loaded up some 1-1/8oz Duplex loads of TSS and Bismuth for use in my 28 gauges this year. They performed very well and killed roosters reliably. I also loaded some 7/8oz loads of straight TSS for the 12 gauge. Absolutely incredible performance for such a small load. Here are some pics from the weekend.

Congratulation's! Thank you for sharing Beautiful country

What lovely photos! Thanks.

Anyone who has not registered to vote, do it today, please. Time is running out. And then vote. I have read that hunters are underrepresented as voters. We'll lose the experiences like this if we don't vote in hunter-friendly politicians.

Awesome, thanks you for sharing!

That looks like a great trip. Thank you for sharing with us.

Great spot. My brother and I are headed to the Pierre/Onida area next week for pheasants. Might have to fish as well if it's nice!

That's some beautiful country and memories that'll last forever. Thanks for taking the time to share.

WOW that would be Awesome.
Love Pheasant Hunting.
Thanks.

Looks like a great trip! Congratulations.
