What our Guests are Saying

I couldn't have been more pleased and surprised by how great my entire pheasant hunting experience was with South Dakota Outfitters! Joel & Amanda run a fantastic operation, and they pay attention to all details, to ensure I had a fantastic time. The staff, guides, meals, and accommodations were all top notch. I can't wait to go back, and my wife is looking forward to joining me next time. Mike Follett Brazoria, TX

I cannot wait to go back. The lodge is beautiful, the staff makes you feel at home, the rooms have everything you need and more. The hunts were very well put together, it was an absolute blast. A trip everyone will remember for sure.
