InkyHorseLady graduated! Busy time of the year for us. We got our archery paddlefish tags in the mail yesterday. Need to load ammo to shoot USPS. Our schedule is already so packed for the summer. Need to set some dates in stone to shoot. |

Outstanding! Please give her my congratulations.
Are you saying you guys are busier than summers past ? That hardly seems possible. |

View Quote I took ten credits this spring, we have a kid graduating along with the wife, bought a new boat, and decided that archery turkey hunting is for us. In addition to all of our other endeavors. So ya, pretty busy. |

No time to be bored. Ten credits again this semester. Application in for nursing school which starts in January.Two weeks away from archery deer spot and stalk adventure. Dumb job. Woman in final stages of interview for professor position. Kids run 50/50, good/shithead. (By quantity, not time.) Is the grass ever going to stop growing?
That said, we slept in until 9 today. |

Slowest forum on the board.
I'm thinking of turning it into the "Hunting Rifles Forum". |

Some personal stuff came up so I'm probably not going to make a Vermillion trip this year.

Anyone get any birds this weekend ? View Quote Just trying to up the traffic on your thread. |

This thread needs all the help it can get.
Where will you be located? |

[#30]
Sully County, just over the county line from Hughes. We already have the lot, just off of hwy 1804. Just a few miles north of a nice looking rifle and pistol range. Complete coincidence...
We're hoping to get a pad for a steel outbuilding poured before the ground freezes and we can ship the building up there and get it assembled. What part of the state are you in? What about most of the members on this forum? Any general thoughts on South Dakota in general for a couple newcomers? Thanks! |

SD is a conservative, Republican, farming, ranching, hunting, shooting state. If that describes you, you’ll be just fine.

Personal responsibility is of utmost importance in this state.
We live outside of Sioux Falls, but travel all over. In general it is a friendly, if a bit standoffish. Small towns can be exclusive to new people. Mind your own business and enjoy a slower pace of life would be my advice. Do you hunt and fish? |

View Quote We are good friends with our neighbors and if a strange car goes down the road someone is keeping an eye on it. If someone needs a hand we help each other than that we pretty much mind our own business. All the things you mentioned are the reasons we want to move there. Most of our time off we're up to Pierre to go kayaking and messing around. It helps that I love hunting. We're literally across the street from public hunting grounds. I like to fish but if it takes more than drowning a worm for bluegills I don't really know what I'm doing. My wife was laughing because when she had to tell the bank and the contractor I was out of town for a week hunting and unavailable no one blinked an eye. That's the kind of environment we're looking for. |

Lots of opportunities around there. You should get a boat and start learning a little more about fishing.
Absolutely fantastic fishing around there. We camp at those campgrounds north of Pierre in the summer, and enjoy it very much. |

[#35]
I was leaning that way already with the boat. Wife wants a little runabout too so I'll start looking around at boats. Thanks for the suggestions.

Salmon, bass, panfish, great catfishing. Unreal waterfowl hunting. Awesome deer hunting.
I am no boat expert. All I can say is bigger is better. If it we're me I would wait until I was there and work with a dealer that someone you trust refers you to. |

Spent this week up in Pierre with the general contractor doing our house. I wonder how many divorces have been caused by older couples trying to buy a house together?
I see the pheasant hunters have left and the goose hunters have arrived. Drove to Madison tonight and saw a flock of a couple hundred geese on a lake that is split by hwy 81. Looks like we'll be permanent residents in march. How is everybody else doing? |
|
[#42]
LOL. I do a lot of remodel work. I often wonder how many of them divorce after we leave.
Things are good here. Deer season is pretty much over for us, nursing school starts in January for me. Might try to kill some coyotes once rifle deer is over. |

.300WM @ 240 yards. Wife got one too. Hunting west of Hot Springs. My first deer. Without a truck. |

Nice buck! I tried big game hunting when I lived in Utah and was terrible at it. I have a .308 with less than 50 rounds through it. Going to try again once we move there. Saw a lot of deer when we were there.
No coyotes but I have an invite to hunt a private ranch for prairie dogs so I'm looking forward to breaking out my .22-250 for prairie dog shooting and coyotes. From what I read the coyotes are coming back from a bad mange epidemic and numbers are up so you should have a good year. Anybody know what a day with a goose outfitter runs costwise? |
