Things are looking promising for our trip to turkey hunt Miriams out in South Dakota this spring, Anyone evr hunt out there and have any suggestions!
And then next year you'll be ready to guide me on a trip up there. :thumb:Thanks for the info Spur- I am really looking forward to it! It will be my 1st out of state Turkey hunt and we hope to bring home 1 of them blonde tipped Fans!:biggrin:
Arkie You got it! I am trying to work out all the details this weekend and still trying to decide to take the 1st week or the second?? We will probably stay around the Custer area and the lenght of the trip will depend on the cash in my pockets:smack: We had planned on going last year and it didnt happen so I have to make it work this year! I sure am going to miss that week up in the Ouahita's though- I would rather turkey hunt in the mornings and jerk bass out of Ouahita in the afternoons more than anything but I am getting old and life is short! I think it will be a memorable trip even if we dont get a bird plus sure would be nice to stop in Kansas for a day or 2 on the way back but finances may eliminate that!With my job I have been fortunate to traveled almost everywhere in the last 17 years- seen Glacier Nat Park above Kalispel,Mt, Kodiak Island,Ak, Steamboat Springs,Co Cody Wy and I figure the Black hills will rank up there with the best of em!And then next year you'll be ready to guide me on a trip up there. :thumb:
When is your trip?
Yep sign me up! I told the wife we fixing to start heading up to Buck Knob mtn- do some scouting, some shed hunting and some EXERCISE! We turkey hunted this area last year a couple of times and I had this great plan- I identified a saddle that had some birds on it and we parked right above it- Started heading down to it before daylight and 2 hours later we still hadnt got to it:smack: It sure didnt look that far from above but bout killed this ole fat boy pulling my arse back up that dang mtn!:smack:The way I figure it, if you'll adhere to the Montgomery County Milo Distribution Workout Plan then you should be in great shape for the black hills. :thumb:
Thanks buddy- I will put that down yes that is on our list to visit some places -didnt know about the indian but I bet I get a picture:biggrin:Seeing as your going to be in the area you need to see the four presidents:thumb: and just a photo of the indian at the ticket gate ($10 a person you can see the same thing in 25 years cause it ain't gonna get done anytime soon):thumb:And you have to go to Lead / Deadwood

Yep thats it- in all my preseason scouting I did I found at least 1 gobbler every trip:thumb: You being a much younger man could probably handle it alil easier than me!Was that the place you had hunted the morning that I stopped by and talked to you last year?
I'm gonna have to try and decide before turkey season if I want to make a long opening morning run to the north side of muddy creek or just stay close to where we are staying.
I've never hunted in south Dakota, but have some good friends that have. Not sure if your going to the same area or not, but they hunted an Indian reservation. They said there is a huge ridge that runs for miles and miles that all the turkeys roost on. 4 hunters came back with 7 turkeys in 3 days. They also saw one field with easterns, rios, and mariams all strutting together.Things are looking promising for our trip to turkey hunt Miriams out in South Dakota this spring, Anyone evr hunt out there and have any suggestions!
OF Course I want to hear it:thumb:I hunted the Black hills for 15 years straight! (Wyoming side)
Great turkey hunting from the dead presidents to the dead indian.
I have a good turkey hunting story on M.R. james if you would like to hear it.
