Pheasant Hunting in Eastern South Dakota

South Dakota is considered the ringneck pheasant capital of the world. The Chinese ringnecked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) was introduced into South Dakota about a hundred years ago.

Prime pheasant habitat occurs in areas with a mixture of grain fields, grasslands, and woodlands or thickets. In these areas, they can attain the four basic needs of wildlife; food, water, shelter, and space.

Adult pheasants feed on a variety of seeds, insects, and berries. The majority of their diet consists of grains, such as corn, wheat, oats, barley, and buckwheat, that have fallen to the ground. Large numbers of pheasants can be found in areas where greater than 50 percent of the land is under cultivation. Pheasants get the water they need from seeds, berries, dew, and rainwater pools. The reason pheasants are so often seen along roadsides is that they, like many other seed-eating birds, eat gravel. These small stones accumulate in the bird's gizzard and serve as an aid in breaking up hard foods, such as seeds.

The Hunting

The pheasant is actually the state bird of South Dakota. Depending on the number of hunters in a group, our style of hunting will be to utilize walkers and blockers to effectively work the fields in a safe and ethical manner while our dogs work the cover closely in front of you. You'll quickly see that the pheasant hunting and the amount of birds in our area is spectacular!

Your hunting experience will take you through a variety of food plots, grasses, waterways, and natural rustic habitat that the birds thrive in. The Bird Dog Lounge and the Wagon Wheel Ranch are located in the heart of pheasant country, and you will see large numbers of birds in many fields. Before you head out to hunt the ringneck, be sure to take in our sporting clays course to sharpen your wing shooting skills. After the hunt, enjoy more sporting clays, 2-man flurry shoot, sitting around the fire pit relaxing, swap stories on the deck, or just enjoy the peace and tranquilty of South Dakota!
