Sorry Del but the cheap land is gone and with it the hunting.
SD has a good public hunting ground program but the problem is the out of staters also hit that first and then go to their private land = really sucks for us locals but thats the way it is.

gee curt. i thought i was the only one that noticed that phenom. a few years ago went out to a public hunting area. pulled into the parking area and there was 17 trucks there, including mine. guess what, i was the only north dakotan. got to talking to one of the fellas there and found out they were on their way to hunt a leased property down by dickinson. and these people had already limited out on birds.

two summers ago a bunch (4) from minnesota were fishing devils lake and were caught by fish and game with over 300 crappie they caught. they also caught a nice fine.

for waterfowl now the f&g has set the season back one week for out of staters. at least we in state folks get a small window of opportunity. i wish they would do the same for all seasons.

i'm getting to the point where i don't even care to hunt. next year all i'm going to buy just a fishing permit. at least the gentrified havn't figured a way to screw that up. the waters are public, at least this year anyway. sooner or later they will plot those and have leased fishing areas. if ya ain't rich, your screwed.

didn't mean to mess up the thread, but i just had to rant.
