Looking for recommendations/tips/advice etc.:
We are looking into planning a trip to SD for Pheasant Hunting in fall 2026. We have never been and thus would love some guidance. I am sure there are areas that are people's favorites etc.
What I personally am looking for in this trip is lodging that will allow the dogs to stay in the lodge not in kennels. Ideally self guided so we can run our own dogs, that being said would love it to be private land though as to know we won't be crowding with other parties.
We don't really need things like meals included in our trip etc. as especially with myself being on a very specific diet/needs that tends to be a waste for me as I simply can't eat things that are prepared for a "group".
Are there options like this that allow small parties like even just Jeff and I or maybe Jeff, Jayden, me and another person or something that allows under 6 hunters as the party amount? This is something I am finding hard to come across. It would also be cool if there was access to waterfowl hunting while there, but not a requirement.
Give me all the details, links, recommendations etc. that you are willing to share. I am finding this to be much more in depth than just planning a long distance vacation! 🙂
