Pheasants in S Dakota 1990

Ohh man you’re making me homesick! Then the three bad winters in late 90s came along… and it got tough…
I see a ford Aerostar I believe…
 
Bring back memories of a great hunt in Kansas in the 80s. There were about 12-15 of us hunting. Most of the guys used it as an excuse for lots of day drinking. Me and my buddies Pat and Mike Rooney (twins) decided that the beer could wait until we were done. We shot most of the full limits for everybody in the group, and didn't crack a beer until we were back home cleaning birds. Good memories.

Mitsubishi Montero. We got there one year after a large early snow had melted. Never saw such sticky goo. Had to scrape our boots often because of the huge build up. We had a lot of pheasants in W Michigan when I was hunting in my teens. But I never experienced so many pheasants as we did out there. Beautiful country.

I was meaning the front on the left side of photo on the right.

The bad ones were hard on the pheasant population. And the flooding resulting from snow melt as well. Seems to me the worst one was 96-97… I was just a kid. Blizzard on Halloween, and never saw the ground late March/april. City snow dump still had snow in it on July 4.
