On October 30th, 1919, the first pheasant hunt took place in Spink County and within fifteen years, pheasant hunts were held in every county across the state. It all got started with the first release of birds in 1908, and if you’d like to hunt right on and near the very land where it all started, we can make it happen for you. Take part of a rich South Dakotan tradition that is alive and continues to thrive today. If you want the absolute best authentic pheasant hunt, come on out and see us here in the heart of South Dakota to start your own tradition, it will be a hunting trip you will never forget. We pride ourselves in making memories!

At Dakota Pheasant Guide we strive to provide our guests exactly the kind of hunting atmosphere that we would want for ourselves.  Our hunts are conducted just the way we learned being raised in Spink County SD, where the first successful release of Chinese Ringneck Pheasants took place and our County Seat, Redfield being the undisputed Pheasant Capital of the World.  From prime hunting land to well trained dogs and premium shotgun shells by Fiocchi, we make sure you have the best-while hunting with the best. After all, we are not just doing this for a living…it is truly our lifestyle. We simply will not compromise that, ever. With us you are an integral part of the hunt.  Not just some shooter in a line-up that rode to the field in a converted school bus.  The old Suburban’s we hunt out of perfectly depict our style.  Come on out and join us this season and make yourself some memories while experiencing the hospitality and fine hunting we are now famous for.  These are truly “Bucket List” hunts that create memories to last a lifetime.
