Horstmeyer Hunt - Opening Day 2005

Colorful trees, snappy crisp mornings, pleasant mid-day temps that fade into cool afternoons, and evenings that sweatshirts were made for mark the changing of seasons in South Dakota. We live in a land of traditions. One of the strongest traditions is hunting. The Pheasant Opener, a time when man, woman, child and dog come together and work as a team all in search of the wiley ringneck.

A well trained hunting dog, $2,000, a good shotgun, $600, SUV $35,000, gallon of gasoline $2.80, box of shells $7.00, cost per bird - don't even ask - memories, PRICELESS!

Many thanks to all of the Horstmeyer brothers for sharing their land with all of us and for the memories.
