Hunting

This welcoming, family-owned lodge offers one of the most complete guided pheasant hunting experiences in South Dakota, blending comfort with adventure. Whether you’re introducing a child or spouse to upland hunting, reconnecting with lifelong friends, or planning a multi-generational trip, this is the perfect setting for memory-making.

You’ll hunt with experienced guides and well-trained dogs across stunning terrain that includes rolling hills, tree-lined draws, and wide-open fields. Choose from:

• Preserve Hunts – 2,500 acres with a generous 15-bird daily limit

• Wild Bird Hunts – Hunt the rest of the ranch for up to 3 wild roosters a day

No group is too small or too large—whether you’re hunting one-on-one with a guide or traveling with a group of 20, your time in the field is private and never combined with other guests. And with the lodge just steps from the fields, there’s no need for long drives—you can start your hunt right out the back door.

All birds are professionally cleaned, packaged, and frozen for you—either for pickup at the end of your stay or shipped directly to your home.

A Typical Hunting Day

Trips are flexible based on your group’s preferences and the length of your stay, but most days follow a relaxed and enjoyable rhythm:

• 6:30 AM – Fresh coffee is ready

• 8:00 AM – A hearty, home-cooked breakfast fuels the morning

• 9:00 AM – Safety talk and warm-up at the shooting range

• 10:00 AM – Head into the field for your pheasant hunt

• 1:00 PM – Break for lunch (often a picnic in the field)

• 3:30 PM – Return to the lodge and relax

• 3:45 PM – Hors d’oeuvres and cocktails begin

• 6:30 PM – Dinner is served with drinks and conversation

Whether you’re walking alongside your child for their first pheasant flush or reliving past hunts with old friends, this lodge offers the kind of meaningful, high-quality experiences that bring people closer together.

Activities

After the day’s hunt is complete and the birds are packed away, the fun doesn’t stop. This lodge is designed for connection, relaxation, and shared memories—with activities the whole family or group will enjoy.

• Try your hand at trap shooting or long-range rifle and pistol targets

• Unwind in the game room with a olf simulator, corn hole, poker tables, pool, shuffleboard, air hockey, and big screens

• Enjoy social hour with cocktails, cigars (for those who wish), and stories around the firepit

Whether you’re celebrating a child’s first pheasant or simply enjoying time away from busy routines, this is the kind of downtime that brings everyone closer together.
