South Dakota pheasant hunt

[fabsroman]

GSP,

No worries, I was just about to PM you and ask which of the two you didn't like, Skeet or Nulle. Thought you might have had something against one of them since I know I am a great guy. LOL But then you caught yourself. Actually, I never would have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out.

I shoot red foxes whenever the opportunity arises. They are a disaster out here and I see them quite often. I have never seen a wild quail and used to hunt wild pheasants about 20 years ago and got to kill a couple of them back then.

Let's see, things hurting quail and rabbits would probably also include development along with the predators and farming practices. My father has pointed out a couple of places to me in Prince George's County where he used to hunt quails. Of course, they were shopping centers at the time he was telling me. This is when I was young and naive and didn't understand how development can kill habitat. Now, I understand it all too clearly.

I truly wish we could get the birds back here, but I will be content with the resident geese as long as they are around and I have access to fields to hunt them in.
