UGUIDE Unguided South Dakota Pheasant Hunting Report Week 6

November 23, 2013 by UGUIDE South Dakota Pheasant Hunting

UGUIDE Pheasant Camps has begun to collect harvest data from each of its camps for each week and will post these results here on a weekly basis.  We will do this in an effort to distinguish itself from speculative and non comprehensive reports to give the pheasant hunting a better idea of what is going on around the state and at UGUIDE pheasant camps.

Keep in mind that non-release pheasant hunting has a host of variables that can affect harvest success.  Assume all data is for self-guided unguided pheasant hunts and where guided will be noted in the results.  Unguided pheasant hunitng success can be affected dramatically by just a few of these variables:  Crop harvest progress, dog skills, dog quantity, hunter skills, hunter quantity, shooting skills, daily weather, etc.

Weekly Crop Harvested Data from USDA Nov. 24, 2013 - Corn - 95%, Sorghum - 93%, Sunflowers - 80%

Weekly Crop Harvested Data from USDA Nov. 17, 2013 - Soybeans - 100%, Corn - 88%, Sorghum - 88%, Sunflowers - 62%
