There is not much action on the hunting board so I wanted to post my problem here.
I am scheduled to hunt in South Dakota mid-November for pheasants and white-tail deer. I have been looking forward to this great hunt on an indian reservation.
My problem.....
I just drew out in area 40-1 for deer. I would imagine the best time to hunt the unit is also mid-November. (same time I am scheduled to be in South Dakota.
Further probelm....
It will be hard to tell my wife that I am going to be hunting for two weeks in November in addition to fishing and weekend bird hunts.
Solution....
I may have to choose between the hunts.
Question for all of you.....
I have never hunting in unit 40-1, but I understand there are some nice deer in the area. Have any of you hunted 40-1??? What kind of animals am I likely to encounter assuming I hunt hard??? How likely would it be to find a buck with a spread exceeding 30"????
Thank you in advance for your responses! If any of you can think of a great solution, let me know.
