re: Recommendations for a pheasant hunt

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.
