My Pheasant Hunt……..

I’ve just returned from a 3 day pheasant hunting trip to Colome, South Dakota. Here’s a new friend I met down there……..I call her number 318.

My brother-in-law John hanging out on the main drag in Colome. The Frontier Bar makes good burgers and has an abundance of cold beer.

Here is the typical scenery in that neck of the woods (not much woods)…….rolling hills, crop land and many black cattle. What you can’t see are the thousands of pheasants warily watching us from the weeds.

Perhaps a catchy phrase like this might work for the lodge? Or not……

John and I with some South Dakota pheasants. You have to be darn smart to outwit these very wild birds. All in all a fun trip. It was nice to be the tourist for a change!
