Guided Duck & Goose Hunts
According to the South Dakota Game Fish and Park website, eastern South Dakota is located within the important waterfowl breeding grounds known as the "Prairie Pothole" region. The area was scarred by glaciers at the end of the last ice age resulting in landscape dotted with lakes, wetlands and streams where ducks abound.
Fortunately, we have access to 10,000 acres of land (and water) along the Missouri River Valley. This major US flyway will chart the path for millions of migratory birds.
What to Expect
We are suited for all habitats and all of the weather conditions that allow for prime waterfowl hunting. We utilize mobile A-frame blinds in cornfields for our field hunts.
No matter the weather or habitat condition, we have the vehicle to position you in water, mud, field, or the heated comfort of a sunken pit. Our fully-enclosed, heated amphibious unit is perfect for getting through the muddy spots to hunt flooded corn and puddle ponds in cattail sloughs.
Our 25' mobile pontoon blind provides as much coverage and camouflage as our sunken 6-person Kohler pit blinds, but gets further into the action by actually being on the water.
Duck & Goose Licenses in South Dakota
South Dakota provides a rare opportunity for an early season limit of 8 ducks, before changing to 6 like nearby states. South Dakota nonresident waterfowl licenses during the fall are limited in number and distributed by a lottery drawing. Hunters must submit an application and fee, see GFP.SD.gov for specific dates.

What our Guests are Saying
Joel and Amanda provide a top-tier lodge and outfitting operation in southeast South Dakota. The pheasant hunting and walleye fishing are excellent! We have hunted with them 3 separate years and have always had a super time. Excellent transport to and from the field for hunters and dogs, bird cleaning, packaging and freezing are all included. You will be hard-pressed to find a better lodge anywhere, and I say that from firsthand experience after hunting with a number of outfitters across the country. Comfortable rooms, a lodge full of amenities (see the lodge tour- too many for me to name!) and excellent food- especially the pheasant chili which always seems to be available in addition to whatever is for dinner. If you want a super pheasant hunting experience that will totally spoil you, check them out!
What a amazing place to stay, Joel and Amanda with Missouri River Lodge run a very nice gem in the heart of Geddes. We came up for a weekend fishing trip two weekends in a row and bunked here. Amazing all the way through. Great rooms, comfy beds, pool table, bar, tv room, boat parking with plug ins, fridge for your cold goods and access to a nice big fryer and grill. When I’m in the area this is the spot. They also run several guide services and do very well for the clients. Check em out!
