Recommendations for a pheasant hunt

Public land in South Dakota buy a lic get a map go hunt you will get your limits, for a dog lab will do fine keep on heal walk birds flush you shoot send dog to retrieve. Take pecans give to land owners if they let you trespass but plenty of public land, go in November not in October you get 2 hrs more hunting time

If you've got the cash I highly recommend The Flying B Ranch. Awesome hunt, awesome food, awesome dogs, awesome guides.

Y'all interested more in a fun time, or killing a lot of stuff? These are two different types of trips in my opinion.

If you are wanting to hunt Pheasants South Dakota is the only place to go - especially for wild, public land birds.

I grew up hunting them in Iowa and it used to be neck and neck with SoDak. Now it is not even close, Iowa totally sucks for Pheasants. SoDak is king. If you are wanting a guide there are tons of them, I would try around the Chamberlain area, they are in that Golden triangle where you will get limits, almost every day.

Thunderstick lodge and rooster ridge are pretty good places.

I would also recommend if you can to try to combine some fall walleye fishing with the bird hunting. For table fare, walleye is one of the best freshwater fish and something not found in the south.
