Wish I was going but will not make the Iowa opener. Used to go but the farmer that let us hunt passed on and we do not have access anymore. Should be a great year from what I have seen from western mn the birds are up and you should have a good shoot. Good luck, have fun and shoot straight.
October 27, 2015 at 9:33 am #1573537I am going to beat them up in the Spirit Lake area!

According to the count map there’s a **** pile of birds between you and me this weekend. Lets find em!!!
October 27, 2015 at 12:17 pm #1573579I’ll be down this weekend. Sounds like it could be a good year. I hope the 1.5 yr old pup has it figured out!

Good luck. We may try that area on the way back Sun and subsequent trips. We go where the birds are.

November 2, 2015 at 8:18 am #1574653We did pretty well. Luckily we hunted mostly private spots. Didnt bring our limit home but then again we weren’t hunting South Dakota pen birds. My buddy, his young son and I brought 15 birds home after 1.5 days of hunting. A couple of friends also helped us with that number. Birds seemed a little more plentiful than last year but not unusually so. You still have to find them. More corn out than I have ever seen before on opening weekend. Hitting it again this weekend and hunting nothing but public. We’ll see how it goes.
November 9, 2015 at 8:54 am #1576032This weekend was good too. Buddy and I limited on Fri and Sat. Only got 2 Sun morning. The birds are not thick. You have to find them. Sometimes you run into a cluster and that’s all it is, a cluster. Otherwise I think they are pretty thin but better than last year. My dog has kicked it up another notch this year. Cant wait to get back and run her some more.
