Elk Hunt in New Mexico
One of the nicest gifts from my clients in 31 years of guiding. I was invited to go on a late season private ranch tag elk hunt with them in New Mexico. Everyone shot nice decent bulls. We saw tons of elk. It was a hunt of a lifetime and lots of fun!
South Dakota Deer Hunts
Sara got a decent buck opening weekend, not as big as the one she got last year but she only had two days to hunt and she was able to fill her tag. Michaela and Kyle hunted all three weekends and Michaela shot this beauty just south of the farm and Kyle got a doe the last weekend. Congrats to both.

20 Years of Friendship
This photo represents my last group and over 20 years of friendship between us. We need to get the younger generations interested in hunting. 12 years old is the minimum age to hunt in South Dakota for non-residents. This year I had two. One was younger than that and couldn’t buy a license
Great Day for a South Dakota Pheasant Hunt
Today’s Limits
Alaska Group
Our Alaska group enjoyed a blast and cast trip last week. The weather was a little cold and windy at times. Everyone shot lots of birds and at least caught one or two walleye. The river current in Pierre has gotten up to 92000 CFS and we are done fishing this year until it goes back down.
Early Thanksgiving South Dakota Duck Hunt
My relatives came to Pierre this weekend. We are having an early Thanksgiving. They are hunting on private land northeast of Pierre. They got their limits both days so far. Today is their last day.
Group from Kansas enjoyed a three day South Dakota pheasant hunt
This group of 11 from Atchison, Kansas area enjoyed a three day pheasant hunt at our farm last week. Some of them went duck hunting one morning. We had quite a few ducks around before Monday’s wind and rain.
Guided for the Outpost Lodge
I guided for the Outpost Lodge Thursday down on Lake Sharpe. We caught this nice mess of walleye. Two overs and some nice 17-19 inchers. All very healthy and growing.

Great fall fishing in Pierre, South Dakota
The bite is on from the bridges in Pierre down to Farm Islands flats. The fish are healthy and larger than last year. There are a lot of small ones to release, especially up by the bridges. We have openings from September 29 through October 17th.
Nice walleyes caught in Lake Sharpe near Pierre
The walleye bite in Lake Sharpe is picking up. I was guiding the Wilbur Ellis group out of Nebraska for the Outpost Lodge. Yesterday we won the five fish weigh-in with a 26-incher caught. Today we had our limits by noon. Get a hold of me there are some openings for the next couple weekend.
