Just got back from there last Sunday. I am happy to report there are turkeys, interesting terrain and an abundance of hunters who seem to just like to drive up and down the road without getting out to take in the sights. Makes those of us who study google earth, hike 10 miles to scout and get up at 3AM for the 4 mile hike in to set up more successful.

Awesome pics! I love it up there. On top of turkeys and interesting terrain, there is also a herd of bighorns up that way. I ran into them 4-5 years ago. Was one of the more surreal turkey hunting experiences I've had seeing sheep, sharptails and turkeys in the same hike:

Good looking bird, but I'm not sure how you hike 4 miles in the Pine Ridge without walking across another road or two.

Good looking bird, but I'm not sure how you hike 4 miles in the Pine Ridge without walking across another road or two.

Because of elevation walking further can be faster if you stay on the spines of the ridges, trails in a heavily burned area and fallen area are faster than bushwacking and in certain areas roads that could otherwise access ground more quickly are private.

Nice job!
