Pheasant Hunting South Dakota | Solo Public Land Roosters!

On my last day in South Dakota I headed out for a morning of pheasant hunting on some public land that had perfect habitat for the dogs to work. We saw some deer and ducks, got to explore a new area, and kicked up quite a few pheasants while doing it! I had to make the most of the opportunities I got but with the help of Rue and Leroy I was able to knock down a limit of roosters in just under an hour! Hope you enjoy!

Excellent hunt Thomas! Rue is amazing for such a young pup love seeing her work. Let's see more Pheasant hunts!!

[@HokeOutdoors]

Thanks Rick! Got a couple more upland hunts coming real soon!

[@ronblackburn3683]

I hope Leroy can step up in Rues’ shoes. She’s quite the dog.

[@HokeOutdoors]

I hope so too! She is most definitely a special one!

Great work!! Labs have that upland instinct.

[@HokeOutdoors]

Much appreciated! It's been really fun to watch Leroy pick it up more every time we go!

[@JonHoan]

Man! What are your export specs? I can’t seem to get this clarity on my uploads. Love the lab family, brother!

[@JonHoan]

I’m working my very new lab on quail as a first time bird dog owner. Would love tips

[@HokeOutdoors]

Thanks Jon! I upload in 4K 30 FPS out of Final Cut Pro. The 4K takes up more space but it definitely seems to help with the render quality in KZbin

I'm really not the person to be giving tips about dogs. I'm in the same situation as you since Leroy is my first dog and I'm just trying to learn as I go

Love the solo / small group hunt content. Keep it up.

[@HokeOutdoors]

Thanks Brian! Got more coming soon!

Leroy!!! Nice pup. Great hunt.

[@HokeOutdoors]

I appreciate it! He's still got a lot to learn but it's been special to get to watch him figure out what we're doing out there

Nice morning hunt with the dog.

[@HokeOutdoors]

Thanks Nasser! Couldn't ask for a better way to start a day!

[@mnbednar8071]

Good to see you enjoying all that the Midwest has to offer.

[@HokeOutdoors]

It's a magical place! Had an absolute blast exploring some new areas up here this fall!

[@HokeOutdoors]

What kind of shotgun do you use?

Franchi Affinity 3

How do u know if they are rosters

[@dakotamcgee4577]

The colorful ones are roosters and make a cackling sound as they fly. Hens are brown colored

[@HokeOutdoors]

The bright colors and long tail are the main giveaways visually. Like Dakota said they often make a cackle when they jump too
