Overview of South Dakota Preserve & Wild Pheasant Lodge
The Ultimate Pheasant Hunting Experience in the Pheasant Hunting Capitol of the World: Southern South Dakota.
Looking for the best pheasant hunt in South Dakota? You’ve found it. This family-owned ranch—dating back to 1912—delivers South Dakota preserve and wild pheasant hunts across 17,000+ acres of prime upland habitat. With 90% of the land in one continuous block and prime fields right by the lodge, you won’t waste time driving between fields. From creek bottoms and CRP fields to crop fields and tree lines, this is South Dakota pheasant hunting at its finest.
What sets this destination apart from other South Dakota pheasant lodges? It’s personal. The same family that built it is still running it. They guide the hunts, prep the meals, and swap stories with you by the fire. That’s how you know it’s the real deal. This is ultimate pheasant hunting at a truly elite level.
This is not just another upland hunt. It’s a fully guided, high-action, hospitality-driven pheasant hunting experience. With no group size requirements, it is perfect for father/son trips, corporate groups, or serious wingshooters chasing the thrill of hard-flying roosters.
