    Wood-fired pizza oven

    A friend has one, he has it figured out to make good pizza. It took awhile to get it figured out. A few notes- Use fruit flavored pellets as the stronger pellets can make your pizza taste iffy. As other have said, there is a recovery time between pizzas. You can usually get two out of them...

    Walleye cheeks could be OFF the menu.....

    This is how SD has been for as long as I can remember. No block freezing and two fillets = 1 fish. I don't even think about cheeks or otherwise because of it. If I screw up a fish while cleaning I am careful to only end up with two pieces for that fish. Surely some ends up in the grinder...

    South Dakota giant poached

    Only thing I can't figure out is why would you publicize this if you were the guy? You are 100% going to get caught? Or think otherwise I guess? Either way it makes no logical sense.

    South Dakota giant poached

    Within the confines of the reservation yes. But neither the state park or the deeded ground the deer was on is tribal. Now, how that whole mess of it all will work out who knows, but bottom line is when/where the trigger was pulled, and where the deer was when shot, are not within tribal...

    Do soybeans kill birds?

    https://www.pfwebsites.org/chapter/browncountypforg/files/Pheasant%20Ecology.pdf This is an interesting read. Though pheasants can survive on them, it doesn't appear that they are a great food source for them for reasons others have discussed above. They can adapt and eat them....we all know...

    Sportsmen and women- be mindful out there. ESPECIALLY this year

    One thing a lot don't understand is a fully loaded tandem or semi full of grain cannot move to the side of the road when it is wet and soft. The shoulders are soft and it turns into a disaster. When meeting trucks, get all the way off the road. Let them have the center crown. There is a...

    Snow Geese

    Had piles of Canada's heading south this morning in W SD. And saw a decent group of snows sitting on water.....second time in the last 15 years I have seen snows on the ground here. Cold front is moving some. But I would guess the largest pile is still in southern Canada.

    You shoot like.....

    Tight full chokes and heavy lead 4's like Golden Pheasant will kill birds at ranges most have no business shooting. I have never seen the need to shoot 3" lead. 3" steel 2's do the same.

    Purchasing ONLY hunting rights to land?

    Thanks for the honest responses. There is a total of 480 acres, so 240/240 split. The $35 is right at the county average ($38 last time I checked). I feel the land value, based on production, is probably around the $1,100 range. Average based on SDSU Extension service in 2018 put the average...

    Purchasing ONLY hunting rights to land?

    That is how it is now. However, when the land changes hands to their kids, who knows if they will keep it. Then I have no guarentee of being able to hunt it. Worst thing is I have a corner with the land that I use to cross onto our's, if that portion goes away I drive around the section to...

    Purchasing ONLY hunting rights to land?

    This is in SD FYI. I have not looked into the laws at all here, but interesting in ND. A few miles and it could be ND though. Would love for cash rent to be able to cover the sale price but the numbers do not pencil. Land value is driven more by who wants what, how it ties into their place...

    Purchasing ONLY hunting rights to land?

    So looking for some reasonable input here. We have family land, not a lot, that was split between two siblings (each has their own kids, I am one of them) with equal acreage. The half of land is essentially flat cropland offering no cover but has some opportunity depending on crop type and...

    MWA Dispanding after 52 years

    I would argue waterfowl numbers have NOTHING to do with the decline in hunting. There are plenty of birds. However, a smaller migration window compared to years of old, along with significantly more difficult access, cause hunters to lose interest. In my area alone, you have to be very...

    Best conservation organizations to be a part of?

    So instead of hijacking the MWA thread, I thought I 'd start a new one. Simply put, what conservation organizations out there do you feel are worth supporting and why? Or maybe what organizations do you not support and why? I feel there are so many out there it is hard to really figure out...

    MWA Dispanding after 52 years

    The world has changed. Getting kids interest in hunting is only going to continue to get harder. We're competing with electronic devices and out of control youth sports that take hold of them at just past infancy. There are so many other things to do after school than cruise around looking...

    Fall bite on Sakakawea?

    Anywhere from Tobacco Gardens to Beulah. Really no preference. Have spent the most time in Van Hook and the Beulah areas. Open to wherever in between though.

    Fall bite on Sakakawea?

    Never had a chance to get to Sak this summer but am contemplating a trip in October. It seems the fishing this year was much more spotty than past years. Or should I say not "easy" like it was the previous couple. Any guesses on how the fall bite will be? From reading on past years it looks...

    Mini-truck vs UTV

    I know guys who groom nordic ski trails with 4WD Kei mini trucks on tracks. There is a turbo version that is said to be plenty powerful. They love them. But, I have heard horror stories about the 2wd's. FYI they paid 12k for the turbo 4wd version.

    Did Oahe Winterkill??

    Oahe was the same when it was really good in the 2006 to 2014 ish era. The Mobridge ramps were filled with plates of all states, including a ton of ND ones. Ever been parked at the top of the hill at Bush's Landing north of Pierre, about 150th in line to the ramp? Point being quality...
