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.
