100% South Dakota Wild Pheasant Hunting

 

Trip ID H-005

  

Come out and see if you can shoot one of the wild ones!

Our mission is to give the hunter what we feel is a TRUE 100% South Dakota wild pheasant hunt. In saying this, 90% or better of the lodges that are claiming a wild pheasant hunt are actually releasing birds and are still calling their hunts "South Dakota wild pheasant hunting!"

We do not, have not, and will not ever release pen raised birds. Now in saying this, we harvested nearly 2,500 wild roosters in 2003 and more the year before. We attribute this to the great habitat, knowing how to hunt the great habitat, good communication skills between the hunters, guides and great dogs.

We will expect your hunting party to arrive sometime late afternoon or early evening the day before the hunt.  We will spend your first night getting acquainted with one another and discuss the next few days of hunting over appetizers & cocktails followed by dinner. 

Shooting hours change after the first two weeks from 12:00 pm to 10:00 am. The hunt begins when we board the Cain creek limo, our 1982 4-wd Ford camouflaged bus and start beating the bush for roosters. Field transportation is always included with our hunts.  The only other break we shall take is for lunch and we do leave this one up to you as well.  Some of your options for lunch: Some prefer just snacking between one hunting field to the next, great for the hunter that can't get in enough hunting- or we can head back to the lodge for a warm meal.

 

Babe's Comments:

This is a great hunt in famous big deer country. Illinois has been producing monster bucks for years and this outfitter has been there for most of them. Buddy has spent 60 plus years exploring this river bottom. Last year hunters at this location shot 20 bucks over 130" Pope and Young.

Seasons:

Archery hunts are 5 day hunts running from October to November.
Shotgun hunts are 3 days in November and a 4 day hunt in December.
Muzzloader hunts are in December.
