south dakota pheasants
Some buddies and i are headed to Webster, South Dakota for a pheasant hunt. we are going to try are luck at some public ground. (Anyone know some good places in that area.) But if that does not work i am looking for some private land owners who would give us a reasonable price. ( Does anyone know any)

try walking the road ditches from 12:00-2:00. We have lots of luck doing this.

Gethuntin is right, road hunting is not hunting.
My last trip their several locals ask me how the hunting was. Birds were really wild and I told them things were tough. Everyone said well have tried road hunting, I politely said no thanks I prefer to use my dog not my truck.

The problem with roadhunters is 90% of the time they are drinking while doing it. Last nite I was out doing some coyote calling and I had some guys get onto my land, when I got up to their suburban I noticed a bunch of open containers. I politely asked them to get off my property and if they wanted to drink go to the bar. I did take down their license plate and told them that if I find any empty beer bottles that I will be turning them in.

RE: south dakota pheasants
Normally I do turn the guys in. I just didn't feel like the hassle. The problem we have here is pay hunters. We have alot of pay hunting operations around here, once they limit out pay hunting, they get bored and go road hunting and shoot another limit. It is starting to be a real problem here, mainly with one outfitter. He has been approached by a few others here, and the problem is being resolved. These were also his hunters I caught on my land.
