Just looked up a 5 day motel stay in the Hills for turkey hunting, one place was $166 and a better place was $225. I have stayed at both before the one is pretty basic but I will just sleep there so fancy won’t matter to me much. Will see if they will even be open then.

Do you hunt on National Forest land ? When I went out there that is what we did and had an excellent hunt. That’s been a few years ago, I’d love to go back.
We also visited Mount Rushmore and Custer Park.

The last week of April is when I’m going, we have a season long tag and May 1st the late season tag kicks in so I can get 2 birds that week. If I fill my season tag before May 1st I can go to WY and buy a tag over the counter. Plus I have 2 prairie tags for around the house.

If I had a little pop up 14 days for turkey would work for me but I get my birds pretty fast if the weather cooperates.

Not this year but maybe next. I met a young couple from SD in Fairbanks that don't hunt but invited me down to turkey hunt. Said they see them all the time. I've always wanted to kill something besides Easterns.

A buddy and I hunted both the SD and WY sides on one trip a few years ago. Stayed at the Buckhorn bar on the state line in a trailer. Good trip. Incredible amount of game out there then. Killed our gobblers. Pretty country. I stayed at Dampier Lodge not that far from there until they shut it down. We could get a huge cabin for $100 a night split 6 ways it was a good deal, the new lodge that opened wanted $200 a night and $50 per person over 4 people I don’t stay there. LOL
