Hunting: Pheasant and Waterfowl

STARTING IN SEPTEMBER you will enjoy the outdoors as never before, with beautiful countryside and the best of upland and waterfowl hunting without the pressure of other hunters at South Dakota's #1 waterfowl camp. The birds are numerous. We are seeing more pheasant and sharptail grouse every year, and the atmosphere at the ranch is the best! Waterfowl hunting in the prairie pothole region of South Dakota is outstanding. The number of ducks and geese have increased annually. 2007 was another banner year for us harvesting more than 1,000 ducks and never hunting more than five hunters per hunt. Large numbers of ducks and geese were taken every day.

REMEMBER, WE CAN GUARANTEE YOU A WATERFOWL TAG, either a South Dakota non-resident license or a Tribal Waterfowl Tag. You can design your own hunt: waterfowl in the morning and pheasants/grouse in the afternoon. Or take the morning off and lounge on the deck of your own cabin with a good book and your dog alongside.This is your trip and it can be just the way you want it.

"We have had a fantastic time here. The cabin is beautiful, the food fabulous, the service exceptional. Terry had excellent hunts everyday and experiences he’ll never have at home. Thank you for your hospitality and warming smiles. I have to admit I was worried about being bored, however, I wasn’t for a second. Great guides, food and service. Couldn’t be a better trip." --Terry & Melissa, Hixon TN

Hunting packages include lodging at Prairie Sky Ranch, daily maid service, all meals, field snacks, bird processing (including freezing & packaging), guides, dogs, decoys for waterfowl where necessary.

This prairie pothole region of South Dakota produces large numbers of ducks with more than 66,000 acres dedicated to waterfowl production. Wigeon, Teal, Gadwall, Canvasback, Pintail and Mallards nest in this region. Our experienced guides scout these potholes daily to find the best morning hunt possible. When the migration does start, waves of different species come from the north filling the potholes. Mallards will fill the fields feeding on corn and soybeans in the late season, and bluebills sit on the bigger water. The duck hunting could not be better and the pressure on these ducks is minimal. REMEMBER, PRAIRIE SKY WILL GUARANTEE YOU A WATERFOWL LICENSE.
