Rooster Man Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 This may sound dumb but i've wanted to hunt South Dakota for 50 years and never had the chance, this fall I'm going. My 32 year old son and i no longer have a dog. Could someone recommend a good mom and pop 2-3 hundred acre farm where they could provide a good 3 day experience? Nothing fancy, just a good flushing dog. I don't like "driven" pheasant hunts. Any names you can give me? thanks Rooster Man DJ Dan Flint MI (I'm in fairly good shape and like a mix of covers also should in hunt in October or wait till December for lower crowds?

Matt D Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 A good place to start would be ordering Blacks Wing, Clay and Waterfowl directory. They have a comprehensive list of hunting locations in most every state. Get a list and start calling around. http://www.blackswingandclay.com/ We hunt private ground, some is in the Southeast corner around Alcester, Central around Woonsocket and West of the river in Murdo. All areas are different and require different tactics. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Gauge Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 rooster, we hunted with the folks at OJBar a few years ago.......it might not be the "mom & pop" operation you had in mind but they make it feel "mom & pop" and only hunt a couple thousand acres. here's a link http://www.ojbar.net/794.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnieSelchow Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I grew up in SE SD...here are a couple suggestions for smaller operations: http://www.alsdream.com, and sioux river wildlife preserve Both of these are on the east side of the state. They are also pretty small operations. I know the owners of each. For a broader offering of what SD has to offer, look to http://www.pheasantcountry.com BTW, get a non-resident license, good for two 5-day periods (good for non-preserve space like private land, walk-in land, and public land). This non-resident license is also good all year round for any preserve in the state. The preserve season for non-residents is from Sep thru Jan (typically).
