Thanks everyone.  I will definately make contact with some folks when I get into ND.  Hunting in the badlands will be a different and exciting experience for me and I look forward to listening to the advice and suggestions of those who have hunted there before.  And as for the pheasants...yes, my bird dogs are pretty excited!

Pheasants we got, especially down around Dickinson.

I have two labs and when we go hunting south of I-94, it's not unsual for them to make upwards of 200 flushes in a weekend...

Pinecone I used to live in Dickinson 20+ years ago. There was fairly large archery club in town back then. I always regret that I hadn't taken up bow hunting yet when I was out there.
