South Dakota is going to have great Wild Pheasant numbers again this season. 

The Chuckar Partridge and Hungarian Partridge are also looking great this year. We are seeing a lot of nests out in the fields. It has been a long time since we had descent numbers of Hungarian Partridge anywhere in the state.  We transplanted a few thousand Hungarian Partridge and Chuckar Partridge last year and it is definitely paying off.

You are able to harvest three (3) Pheasants, five (5) Partridge, in any combination of Hungarian and Chuckar Partridge and three (3) Sharptail Grouse.
We don’t have a large population of grouse on our land but if we limit early enough in the day I often take people up to the Prairie Pothole Region specifically to hunt for grouse. They have a pretty descent population of Sharptail Grouse in that area.

We also have transplanted some Black Pheasants and Buff colored Pheasants. These are beautiful birds. We have already released them this year at only five (5) weeks of age.  We only have about 10-20% of these birds survive but when we do it this way they fly just as hard and are as elusive as pheasants born in the wild. Some of these five week old birds we release do get lucky enough to mix in with a wild hens brood of chicks.
You will absolutely love these different strains of birds we have in the field. Don’t worry, there are still 25,000 Wild Ringneck’s on our land just waiting to make fools out of us all. If you have any doubt at all how these Black and Buff colored Pheasants fly, take a look at some of our videos and you will see how quick they bust out of the cover and are out of range in a heartbeat.  Most people that are lucky enough to harvest one of these colored birds have them mounted. They are absolutely beautiful. If you don’t want the bird we will be more then happy to keep it and have it mounted. In turn we wil let you harvest an extra bird in it’s place. We can do this because we all have licenses but don’t carry guns while guiding our customers.

WE LITERALLY HAVE THOUSANDS OF HEN PHEASANTS ON NESTS RIGHT NOW. I have lived in South Dakota my entire life and haven’t ever seen Wild Pheasant numbers like they were last season.

This year is going to HAVE HIGHER NUMBERS OF BIRDS Yet. 

Our South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks is even considering raising the limit from three ringneck pheasants per day to four ringneck pheasants per person per day.

All Inclusive Hunt including-meals, lodging, pickup to and from the airport, transportation to town for any reason, FREE trap range with shells provided, guides, dogs and chef!!

We can handle almost any disability a hunter may have whether bird hunting or deer hunting If you have any questions or concerns give us a call!

Don't forget about our fantastic whitetail deer hunts. We have several Boone and Crocket class whitetails shot here every year. You need to call immediately for details. We can only accept a very limited number of hunters for whitetails. We have heated blinds set up or you can sit in a tree stand on the river bottom or any number of very thick tree claims. These are totally wild hunts. We will pattern the deer for you the best we can. 

We sincerely hope to see you this fall! If you don't have time to hunt, we would enjoy it if you just stopped in for a cup of coffee. We highly value each of our customers and view them as friends. We do appreciate the time you spend with us and thoroughly enjoy the company of each and every one of you. We do hope we made your stay comfortable and as enjoyable as possible.

South Dakota Pheasant Hunting should be great this year, not just for our customers, but for pheasant hunters throughout the major pheasant populated areas of the state.

If you would like more information on harvest limits, season dates, licensing requirements or any other information you may require you can check out the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks home page CLICK HERE

Please contact us as there are special needs for some of these hunts. Some of the Waterfowl Hunts and Whitetail Deer Hunts are time sensitive for peak periods. We want to be able to give you the best hunt we possibly can, and we will!

There are a number of Boone & Crocket Whitetail's taken from this area each year. As far as big racks go, it doesn't get any better than this. These bruisers can tip the scales at 250 and even over 300 pounds.

We have a very nice lodge with 20 beds and the comforts of home. If you have a larger group we will make the necessary arrangements to make sure all our customers are as comfortable as at home. 

You are more then welcome to bring your own dogs. We have doggie lodging as well. 

If you don't have a dog, you will be hunting behind some of the finest German Shorthairs and Labs around. 

We do have pups and started dogs available at certain times of the year but they generally go fast. Often they are sold before we can get them posted on the site. 

If you are interested in one of our started dogs or pups, it would be a good idea to call and talk with us. Often we do have a waiting list.
