With the pheasant hunting on publicly-accessible habitat and land finishing on a strong note, the Rooster Road Trip crew looks back on a week in pheasant country’s epicenter. We also take listener questions on bird dog feeding and care, storing birds on the road and dealing with hunting buddies who burn the midnight oil.

We've put a lot of awesome gear through the pheasant paces on this Rooster Road Trip public habitat and public access tour. Taking Top Dog honors as a favorite for its technology and function is the new Garmin Fish & Hunt PRO 550 Plus Training and Tracking Bundle.

Aberdeen area walk-in hunting properties that are part of the James River Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program produce the type of South Dakota pheasant hunt you dream about. The corn just came out, there's a triple rooster flush and we close with advice for novice upland hunters to keep developing their upland skills.
