Doc,
I was in SD for the openner on the east side. Very wet and thought waders would be handy. Birds everwhere. Nice take. 'that a little Lab on the left? Looks a bit like mine.

I'm not much for the classic SD 'walk-n-block' cornfield either. This year, I was pleasantly surprised that we only hunted one or two cornfields and most were in grass, reed, weed, or cattail fields/slews. Much more satisfying, even if they were hunted in the walk-n-block fashion. Still, it felt more like real hunting rather than harvesting.
