12/15 - 2009 South Dakota Pheasant Hunting Field Crops Conditions Report

Dec. 15, 2009 - Hunting conditions continue to improve amid the slow harvest progress. Bird harvest reports have improved from most areas in the state as wet areas are now frozen allowing both farmers and hunters to get into areas previously inaccessible. Corn harvest is continueing to progress but pace is slow by weather and storage shortage and dryer capacity at the elevators. Corn harvest looks like it will take right up until end of year to complete.

12/7 - 2009 South Dakota Pheasant Hunting Field Crops Conditions Report

Dec. 07, 2009 - Most all of the crop in the state of South Dakota is out of the fields now except for 28% of remaining corn crop which is coming down fast. Winter storm is blowing across state today and that may slow things out but within 2 weeks the rest of the corn crop will be out making the last 2-3 weeks of the pheasant hunting season spectacular.

11/30 - 2009 South Dakota Pheasant Hunting Field Crops Conditions Report

Nov. 30, 2009 - Summary: Corn moves from 40% harvested to 58% this last week. Beans, Sorghum and Sunflowers are all in the 90% range which effectly brings those to closure (done). The 10 day forecast looks dry and sunny which won't help drying much but will allow farmers to continue working on harvest. At this pace corn harvest could finish in 2-3 weeks. SD Game and Fish has a vote on the table Dec. 3rd to increase pheasant daily limit from 3 to 5 birds per day increasing game bag total from 15 to 25 in possession.

11/16 - 2009 South Dakota Pheasant Hunting Field Crops Conditions Report

Nov. 16, 2009 - Soybeans are all but done and corn made its biggest harvest leap this year last week. With a favorable 10 day weather forecast the farmers should begin hitting the corn hard and getting it out of the fields. I can speak first hand about how this will improve the hunting conditions as my operator stripped out all the corn on my farm abd we went from seeing no birds to harvesting 19 in one day.

11/8 - 2009 South Dakota Pheasant Hunting Field Crops Conditions Report

Nov. 11, 2009 - Major gains have been made in soybeans and now corn ans well as sorghum across the state. However, corn and beans are still behind but catching up quick. Hunting will pickup but a lot more corn has to come out to really improve hunting conditions dramatically. The report also does not refelct the great gains made this week on crop harvest due to excellent harvest and drying weather.
