The following link to a local news story on last weekends opener for resident hunters is posted for those planning to hunt early season SD pheasants. You may want to consider postponing your trip, if possible, until later in the season or at least contact your hosts for local conditions. I am going back to the eastern part of the state for this weekends opener, but don't expect much success until weather conditions allow the farmers to get some of these crops harvested.
Best,
