I have a nice house in SD that I use as a bird hunting B&B. I'm looking for four hunters shooting 16ga for wild pheasants next season. Hunting dates are Oct 29-Nov 2. We hunt public land mostly but I may have 2-3 days private land hunting available for a nominal fee. I stay at the house all November to hunt roosters with new guys coming every 5-10 days.
Cost is $650 for five nights lodging and 3 meals each day.
Bring your dogs as I have a nice dog barn set up for 10 dogs with outside runs.
Send me a PM if interested. We always have a great time. I have many guys who come each year so I can give references if you would like to talk to guys who have stayed with me.
Bring your purple shells
Thanks for looking, Bobby

You've aged remarkably well, dukxdog.
Visiting his memorial is on my bucket list. Nice pheasant shanty, btw.

Mighty fine setup, dukxdog. I'm always out there that first week of November and pretty much have my spots locked in for my partner and I. My semi-retirement starts the season after next and then I'll have more time for more options. |

You don't have to come with a partner. I have solo guys all the time. Guys make friends quickly. All enjoy time in the field together along with hanging out at the house. |

Purple shells are not a criteria. No discrimination against hull color. Purple, red, blue, green, black all 16's are welcome.
Three slots available as of Feb 16th since 3 just cancelled
I also have dates between 10/19-28 and December available.

Hey Bobby, we've communicated before on the UPH site. Seeing how I'm a 16 ga. guy how are you currently sitting for the 16 ga. hunt? |

Do you have any openings left for this year for one 16 gauge hunter? |
