Hunting PackagesPrairie Chicken Hunting
Guided Prairie Chicken Hunts
Prairie Chickens are considered one of the only true trophy upland birds left in the world, and SD's population is the highest.This is a once in a lifetime bucket list hunt, that most upland hunters have never had the opportunity to see done correctly.
We have exclusively secured 15,000 acres of prime midwest prairie land. As a company, our main focus is to limit out on prairie chickens. You even have the opportunity to hunt a small mix of sharptail grouse.
What to Expect
Timing is key to hunting the "king of the prairie". The birds group into packs of 50-150 which enables them to scout for predators on the vast prairie. Using their defense to our advantage, our experienced team works extensively watching and scouting the birds to ensure that your hunt is successful. We will get you close enough for shots of 45-75 yard range.
The hunt is walking style, over pointing dogs, kept in close range to not bump the birds. Because they are so fast, this makes them the most challenging bird to hunt.

What our Guests are Saying
Excellent pheasant hunt and stay at the Missouri River lodge. Made our limit on birds every day, hunting in beautiful corn and milo fields. Big shout out to the super friendly lodge staff and guides, especially Todd and his crew of bird dogs. Lodge was clean, comfortable, and a great place to relax at the end of the day. Enjoyed every moment!
Above and beyond what I expected. I've hunted and fished with numerous outfitters and this was beyond the most impressive. The accommodations are top notch. Comfortable rooms, outstanding food, and lodge is something everyone needs to see. The guides and properties that SDOU have are some of the finest in South Dakota. We hunted ducks and pheasants for 3 days. We experienced some of the finest hunting to date. I can't say enough about Joel's enthusiasm and passion for the sport. It also comes through from his guides as well. We booked through the Great Outdoor Show in Harrisburg. From the time we booked in February Joel was always available to answer all questions. This is a family owned business with Joel's and Amanda's presence daily at the lodge. The staff that prepared the food and does the housekeeping were pleasant and professional. If anyone is looking for an outfitter for South Dakota hunting and fishing look no further than South Dakota Outfitters Unlimited. We are already planning our spring fishing trip
