South Dakota Pheasant Hunting


OPEN TO EVERYONE

 

It's the cackle of a rooster. The rush of the flush. The tailgate talks at the
end of the field and the stories at the end of the day. A hunt in the world's
greatest pheasant country is a thrill like no other.

See how easy it is to experience it for yourself.

HUNT IN SD

WHAT MAKES SOUTH DAKOTA THE GREATEST?

The habitat and hospitality. A healthy mix of cropland and prairie creates the
ideal pheasant habitat. The proof is in the results: more than 1 million
roosters have been harvested in 17 of the past 20 years. We have the most birds
in the country, but the fun goes beyond the field—no place caters to hunters
like South Dakota.

Visit South Dakota and you’ll be in the for most thrilling and unforgettable
bird hunts of your life. Get your ticket to outdoor adventures with a South
Dakota small game license. The 2022 pheasant season begins Saturday, October 15.

“The people here are really special. That’s what makes the hunt. I have repeat
hunters who say they’ve never met a rude person in South Dakota. Then, of
course, we have the habitat. So it’s the people and the birds that really make
our state special.”

Steve Halverson, owner of Halverson Hunts







 

“I love South Dakota pheasant hunting because it’s one of the most adrenaline
rushing hunts you can go on. There’s the excitement of birds getting up right to
you – and there’s the chance to make memories with your favorite people. I love
it.”

Grace Sargent, pheasant hunter





 

“I love spending time with my kids outdoors. And pheasant hunting is a great way
to do it. They can take a shot and miss, and that's okay, but the fun part is
putting them in a position where they can be successful.”

Doug Sargent, pheasant hunter







 

“For me it's really getting out into the field. It's the sun bathing over the
landscape and the way the adrenaline hits you when a bird flushes. It's all of
those experiences in the field for me, that really make me love it.”

Erica Yost, Pheasants Forever
