RE: Wyoming Black Hills area
I'll be up there april 18-20, staying at the Mt. View Campground in Sundance, WY. Its my first year hunting the WY side of the hills also.
Tips I've learned from the SD Balck Hills:
1. Drink Water. Bring enough water with you on the hunt and then bring some more.
2. Hunt all day. The birds will gobble and move all day unless the weather is really extreme.
3. Be in shape. The merriams are very mobile and cover ground all day. You'll will want to keep up with them.
4. Equipment needed- GPS, topo maps, Binos, Loud box call, rain gear, camelback, and a pack to put everything in including your lunch. Forget your decoys you wont need them.
PM me if you have anymore questions.
