Any info on public land South Dakota pheasant hunts?
Nmarth88:
Hunted there near the Woonsocket area before. We were mostly road hunting and had a blast. All of us would limit out every day. The sides of the road usually have much wider(like 15-30’) on both sides. As said before as long as the bird originates on public land you can retrieve on private land. I will say make sure you know how to do pythagorean theory though as you must be 220yds from a persons abode to legal shoot and if a warden thinks it close he will check!! Have fun and if you hunt that style you don’t necessarily need a dog.

Ok thanks for the info. I am heading to the Dakotas on monday to look around the country. I will check it out.

I will say if you get permission to hunt someones property get it in writing. We had an issue with that when we were there. Squabbling neighbors using us to mess with each other as it were.

I know a couple guys who do it this way.
Seems like a good way to go.

Most every time my buddy would make a store run, he'd come back with a bird. We'd kill birds en route to the planned destination property. Helps to be the passenger (riding shotgun). A different kind of sport.
Another buddy (the one who hunts Chamberlain) used to primarily hunt the train tracks, but says the track owners have curtailed that practice.
Your license is good for 2 ea. 5 day periods which can be concurrent or not. A mix of club birds and chasing wild roosters may be a good mix depending on dog, buddy, etc.
