South Dakota Pheasant Hunts

South Dakota Wild Pheasant Hunts at Falling Feathers Lodge

Season: Pheasant Season (Fall/Winter)


Experience True South Dakota Wild Bird Hunting

If you’re looking for an authentic South Dakota pheasant hunt—the kind with wild flushing roosters, hard-flying birds, and classic prairie cover—Falling Feathers Lodge delivers the real deal.


Our hunts focus on strictly wild birds across roughly 9,000 acres of prime pheasant habitat. From dried-up sloughs and thick cattails, to shelterbelts, ditches, old railroad beds, and food plots, you’ll hunt the type of cover that holds birds and creates action all day long. We also plant sorghum and corn food plots specifically to keep birds in the area and improve the quality of each hunt.

South Dakota Waterfowl Hunts

South Dakota Waterfowl Hunts at Falling Feathers Lodge

Location: North Central South Dakota

Season: Fall & Winter Waterfowl Season


Premier South Dakota Dry Field Waterfowl Hunting

At Falling Feathers Lodge, our waterfowl program is built around what South Dakota does best—dry field hunting. We primarily target ducks (and geese when they move in) in corn, soybean, and wheat fields, setting up where birds are feeding naturally and working traffic into the decoys.


Most hunts are conducted in dry fields using layout blinds and field setups, giving hunters a true South Dakota experience with fast finishes and high-action decoying.


When conditions call for it—weather shifts, migration patterns change, or birds relocate—our team will adapt and move to sloughs, potholes, and water options to stay on the birds and keep hunts productive.


Hunting Style & Setups

  • Our focus is scout-first field hunting with flexible options:
  • Dry agricultural fields (primary hunt style)
  • Layout blinds / field setups
  • Water hunts in sloughs or potholes only when necessary based on bird movement


Target Species

  • Depending on the week and migration timing, you may hunt:
  • Mallards
  • Pintails
  • Widgeon
  • Other puddle ducks
  • Geese (as opportunities come together)


What’s Included


All-Inclusive Waterfowl Package

  • Guided waterfowl hunts (dry fields primarily)
