SD has pheasants like the prairies have gophers! I have hit more pheasants with my truck and boat trailer in the Dakota's than I have ever seen in total up here in in North Central Alberta. You will see a flock of them in the ditch, and 6 will fly off away from the road in the other direction, and one will just run full bore right into the path of the truck. I guess that's why it's called survival of the fittest!
