Late Season Hunting Fantastic
November 21st, 2011
Our late season pheasant is shaping up to be fantastic. The birds have grouped up so, when they flush, it is by the 100s. Golden Pond with its incredible cattail slough continues to be the magnate and contains over a 1,000 birds. Lots of roosters still abound.
Don't miss out on the late season. It can be some of the best hunting of the year. Dress warm and enjoy the robust weather. A nice hot tub and lounge awaits you at the hotel at the end of the hunt.

Birds, Birds, Birds --- Best in the State
October 29th, 2011
Our county, Lyman, has the highest pheasant count in the state. Hunters from other parts of the state are flocking to our area because we have the birds. All of our groups have limited out on pheasants each day. While numbers are down across the state, our area is hot and we have plenty of wild birds.
Just goes to show what dedicated habitat enhancement will do. Fortunately, we have not lost much crp in Lyman county and the property surrounding our farm has lots of crp and row crop.
Don't miss this opportunity for great pheasant hunting.
2011 SEASON OUTLOOK GREAT
August 9th, 2011
The food plots are planted and coming along nicely and we are seeing lots of young pheasants. Stock damns are full and lots of moisture have created wonderful cover for the birds. All of this bodes well for the hatch and solid pheasant production.
We had no winter kill due to storms this year so the stage was set for an excellent nesting season. While conditions around the state may be a bit spotty, our area has had great weather for pheasant production and habitat enhancement.
This year we planted over 3,500 trees and shrubs in a new shelter belt that should hold tons of birds. Over 65 acres of food plots on our property have been planted. So far, the season is shaping up to be an outstanding one.
2011 OUTLOOK GREAT

Many, many Roosters still in the Field
December 9th, 2010
Just finished up with a group of 9 after Thanksgiving and we had limits of birds in 2 hours and we saw over a thousand pheasants! The late season is an awesome time to hunt wily ringnecks. They are smart and fast and offer very sporting shooting opportunities.
The colder weather has grouped up the Roosters and we have lots of them. All bodes well for end of season hunts and great brood stock for the spring.
Come join us.
BEST SEASON EVER
November 17th, 2010
As the weather gets colder the roosters are grouping up to provide great sport and lots of shooting. Bring plenty of heavy 12 guage loads. These birds are quick and get up and get out fast. Modified and full chokes with number 4 shot, preferably magnum or 3 inch loads are most efficient to bring down these tough and smart ringnecks.
All groups are getting limits of birds and seeing hundreds of pheasants, sometimes in one field! This has been a great season. Don't let it pass you buy without joining in the fun.
Hauss and Annie still want to hunt for you.
BEST SEASON EVER
November 2nd, 2010
Our 2010 bird hunting season is shaping up to be the best ever. The bird numbers are staggering and the habitat and cover is outstanding. All of our groups have limited out each day and there are plenty more wild roosters left on our farm. As the neighboring crops are harvested more birds keep pooring in to our property as the season progresses.
Late season hunts should be superb, so don't let the colder weather deter you. The roosters group up and hold better in the colder weather and the shooting is superb.
Hope to see you at Dakota Wild.
2010 Bird Season Predicted to be best in 47 years
August 31st, 2010
The recently completed 2010 SD Pheasant Survey shows a 22% increase in pheasants per square mile in our area over 2009. Statewide this is the highest count in 47 years and a 3% increase statewide over last year, which was a pheonominal year. Once again the south central area where we are located will be the best in the state.
All of this means one thing. Come to South Dakota now. Book a hunt with us and experience one of the best pheasant seasons ever. With expiring CRP contracts, no one knows how long this will last. Jeff
Lots of young pheasants
July 15th, 2010
The stock damns are brimming full and the nights have been cool so the young ones have plenty of water.
Golden Pond has a good new growth of cattails around it and the Refuge will have great new food plots that will hold lots of birds.
The season is looking good!
Book a hunt now.

We had a real winter this past year. Fortunately, in our area we had very little bird kill. This is a testament to the incredible bird habitat we have. Tules, shelter belts and CRP really helped.
Spring conditions look good. Getting plenty of good moisture. Bodes well for the hatch.
Gearing up for the new season
July 15th, 2009
The food plots are planted and the hatch is well under way. We are seeing lots of young chicks. So far, we have had enough rain to "green" things up and fill up the stock dams. Last year was a record year. This upcoming season is shaping up to be even better than last year. Book now. This is the year to come pheasant hunting in South Dakota.
