Birds on a Budget: Pinching Pennies While Chasing Roosters in South Dakota
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 янв 2025
- There is a common misconception that hunters must break the bank in order to be successful during an out-of-state hunting trip. While you can certainly throw cash at the most lavish pursuit of upland birds, the inspiration for this film is to prove that you can chase coveted roosters on a budget that won’t require taking out a loan.
To prove it, Andy Fondrick, digital marketing coordinator for Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever teamed up with onX Hunt’s own Ben Brettingen and headed to South Dakota, the pheasant capital of the world, for a penny-pinching pheasant hunting road trip.
One of the most important aspects to successfully navigating a financially responsible nonresident upland hunt is the availability of publicly accessible acres of high-quality upland habitat and knowing where to find them. Luckily, onX Hunt can help you find these places while Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever are working hard every day making sure these opportunities exist.
Remember to join, renew, or extend your Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever memberships before you hit the road this fall - that’s something the birds and your budget can support.

Andy had a guide from pheasants forever, and they still didn't find anything to write home about. Entertaining video, thank you.
Nice video. Having grown up in SD and having family still there, we get there pretty much every year. People from other states frequently ask about what is the best way to hunt SD. Your video basically reflects what I have been telling people for years. The onX is a great tool now..in the past I have pointed people to the GFP maps that have been available for many years - earlier as booklets and now online. Find an area you would like to hunt. Find a motel/hotel in the area. Map out a plan to cover the public areas within an hour of your motel. You could spend days trying to cover all of those areas. Life member for over 20 years. Planning the move back to SD in the next few years. Ain't nothin' like the prairie.
HELLO FROM OKLAHOMA! GOOD VIDEO! GOOD EXAMPLE AT 7:36 WHY I HUNT WITH A PUMPGUN. IT SUCKS WHEN A GUN MALFUNCTIONS. MY SON SWEARS BY HIS OVERUNDER 20.
Thanks for putting this together!!!!
Nice video Andy! Look forward to more.
Pinching pennies in a 70k rig and $2400 shotgun.
No kidding! 😂
yep that’s how it’s easier to afford a 70k rig and a nice gun. poverty is a mind set clearly
Love this. After living in the Midwest, I also understand that this is the most Midwest thing ever.
Thanks for the video I some day wish to make that trip being a life member I would enjoy seeing what they have done for the habitat.
I love this BUDGET THEME!
For 2022 grocery, gas, and ammo prices you might as well double the cost of everything.
Umm no. Exaggerate much?
@@libertyor556 Again another false idiotic comment. Why should I put up with whining boy-men who exaggerate like school girls? And do you have a clue what exponential growth is? Do you know what an exponent is? 2 to the 3rd power is what? Hint: 8. How about 2 to the 16th power? 65,536. 2 to the 32 power? 4,294,967,296. THATS exponential growth son. What we are experiencing is the most minor of linear growth. How do I pull these numbers from memory? I’m an X computer jockey. The world is run by 1’s and 0’s. The binary number system. So back to the real world - exponential growth would mean houses, gas, ammo 3 years from now will cost 8 times as much. Do you really expect to buy a box of pheasant loads for $200 in 2025?
@@libertyor556 See that’s the problem. I have peace. I hunt 5 days a week behind my pointers in the uplands and my CBR in the wetlands. Other seasons I’m similarly occupied in the great outdoors with other activities and sports. It seems it’s only fellow hunters who don’t live in the moment and are endlessly complaining about crap and bringing politics into the field. And they are just so incredibly uninformed and misinformed. They literally can’t apply or understand 7th grade math. They can’t apply high school economics. Inane crazy politicians along with their vacuous campaign mailings and TV ads manipulate them like bugs on a skillet. Like you and your absurd “Liberty or 556”. Unfortunately I assume that references sentiment for the losers and riff raff on 1/6 instead of where it belongs - supporting the nation of Ukraine and crushing Putin’s invasion.
@@libertyor556 Ha Ha Ha Ha. You just can’t let it go. Dude a little less Call of Duty and a little more learning real facts of how math works, how to diagnose and fix vehicle engines, what kind of government and leader Russia has will go a long way in improving your life. Stop being such an emotional easily offended woman. Take off the dress and become useful. And oh yeah - you’re not Dr. Phil either 😂. And just for the record could you summarize how your prayer goes for me? Do you kneel at your bed nightly, say your prayers and then include me? Pray tell what words do you use? And you really expect an invisible guy who lives in the clouds to hear you? A guy who lets endless tragedies like Sandy Hook unfold?

On a budget, worried about food expenses...Rocks Sitka. I get it...
yep showing for all you that can’t afford it
On a budget but gets a motel.
Dakota Inn! Great hotel choice...

Thank you so much for copying and pasting a wiki article….
Great video. I lower that cost a bit at the sacrifice of my own comfort. Hunt from a car to get lower fuel costs and try and camp at a KOA for a cheaper night stay. Not comfy but if it's what it takes to get on birds it's worth it. Love the video.
classic benelli click!
Hahahaha
I have the same gun and never had this happen. Probably never cleans it
SD has gotten real proud of their non-resident hunting licenses lately.
$
Right
Well I will say one thing South Dakota has done one smart thing that is CRP with they now have plenty of birds come to California you pay through the nose the so called refuges have no pheasants and you purchase the birds to be released and hope you might get one.
Hello, Did you get your hunting license in South Dakota state ( if required by out of state resident) ? Thx for any info.
Great tip -
Buy groceries. I would never have thought about that.
And gas too. Wow. Never would have thought about that.
Thanks
$3.27/ gal would be amazing. I'm paying $6.05/gal in California right now 😢
I just came back from a SD hunt. Gas was between $3.49 and $3.79/gallon.
Exactly..
what time of year was that?
Where were u staying?
Wish there was pheasant hunting in California. The department of fish& game here decided years ago since pheasants were not native to California that they would do nothing to try to protect or increase pheasant populations in the state. So they just pretty much turned their back on pheasants in California. I can’t remember the last time I saw a wild pheasant in California. It’s pretty sad. I remember doing a lot of pheasant hunting here when I was a kid with my dad.
Robert I'm with you there have you looked up pheasants forever in California. They and every one else need to hammer fish and game and get rid of all the people who work there for the money only and don't give a shit about resources for the hunters. Check it out.
Yeah there’s been so many anti-hunters that have infiltrated the fish and game in the past decades it’s not even funny. They don’t care about anything that has to do with hunting in the state or how to manage it
@Robertmackiney8 Gray Lodge and LDC were epic in the 90’s in CA terms to bad they the state ruined , now I’m shooting them in The Praries ❤
Are used to hunt Gray Lodge when I was a kid back in the 70s and 80s and used to smash the pheasants out there but now it’s garbage.
@@robertmakiney8708 I still hunt the Williams -Colusa area when we get out there for ducks and geese tho 👍
Did you even stop in a small town?
în Italy it costs us more than 400€ license to hunt only 5 months a year from October to January
Not so much in France. National permit is around 300
@@antoine0195 combien de mois chassez-vous en France ? Et si vous changez de région dans la même province, devez-vous payer un nouveau permis? Avec nous, pour chaque zone, vous payez un permis d’environ 60-70 €
I was so disappointed hunting in South Dakota last year. The habitat on public land was horrible. I saw very few birds. I find way more birds where I am in Kansas.
You’re correct. I’ve hunted SD for years. The public is over hunted by local hunters. But don’t give up. There could be 0 birds in one section and 100 birds in the next section. Has been like that for 40 years.
Why would you leave Kansas to bird hunt?
I think for a true penny pinching episode camping out would have be fun!
certainly not like the early 2000's out in SD anymore!
That shorthair found the birds and retrieved em
The lab wasn’t doing much
Fun....!
Be better just come to Michigan.. our grouse and woodcock second to none.. 11.4 million acers of public.. we have pretty good pheasant but they are very spotty.. we normally flush 30 birds but we know where they are..
WHERE is your gas 3.27!!! I was paying 4.20 all over montana opening weekend.
This was filmed in December 2021.
I’d be the first person to say ask around but honestly how are we supposed to believe you didn’t use your channel/name as leverage to get Jake the regional rep to hook you up with birds. Just saying, you and I both know EVERYBODY is gonna ask around so what made Jake decide to go out of his way to help y’all out?!
Great video but if y’all are actually “pinching Pennies” then maybe don’t include something like that So us ‘normal’ folk/non locals know what to expect cause I doubt we’ll meet a member of pheasants forever willing to give up their best spots for some average Joes
Ah yea, Jake is a buddy of mine (I was the videographer on this project - but we decided not to break the 4th wall.)
