2022 season recap (picture heavy)

Still had my phone set with western weather alerts.  Just notified that light snow is falling now in Hulett.  Sorry I missed it.  Almost a lol for 5/21 at 9am CST.

Crazy weather out west!! We had light hail and snow flurries one afternoon out there!! Then the clouds rolled back, gave us a rainbow, then blue skies.

Now I know why we couldn't find any birds in the southern Black Hills....they all moved to the north. We just got home from there and I think I heard or saw one gobbler for every 50 miles traveled and I am not kidding. Turkeys were as rare as hen's teeth

Wow. That's crazy. They were thick as flies on stink where we were.

I was basically in the same area as RnS.  Maybe a few days earlier.  No shortage of birds.  Remember when hunting that north end you're 90 minutes or less from MT, SD, and WY.  All have huntable populations and plenty of public land.  The one and only tip I'll give in this "everything's a secret" environment is don't ignore the hundreds of small tracts of BLM lands.  Many are landlocked by private land but many are not.  It took me three years of research to finally make this trip.  Worth it for me. I won't do it solo again but already have a hunting buddy rethinking his decision to "wait till next year". Good luck in the future.

Man I wish I'd seen your post a few days ago while I was out there. We were staying just SE of deadwood and could of easily drove up there. It's weird that less then an hr away birds went from sparse to thick. Oh well, maybe next time. Since my daughter lives out there we go out every year, so I put that info in my memory banks. I just hope not too many others get wind of it.

Congratulations on getting it done.

Eggshell, you're not the only one who responded to this post like that. It is odd that such a short distance made such a big difference.

Congratulations on getting it done.

Thanks Sam!!!
