Dakota Pheasant Hunt

Your hunt will take place on a privately owned, fifth-generation farmstead with over 10,000 acres of land that has been intensely managed for all types of wildlife with CRP, food plots, wetlands and standing crops. Besides pheasants you will see lots of waterfowl, jackrabbits, an occasional coyote, and whitetail deer. The ranch offers a package on early fall archery hunting for deer.

Whether you are a seasoned outdoorsman who is used to the rigors of walking cattail sloughs or an occasional hunter who prefers less challenging terrain, we can accommodate your preference.

Hunt over our professionally trained dogs and, if you prefer, bring your own hunting companion. Well-behaved, close hunting dogs are always welcome. Kennels are available for your use.

The hunting service is operated by PINE SHADOWS and their ORVIS Endorsed springer spaniels. For nearly 30 years the Haglins have been guiding groups of hunters in pursuit of Minnesota ruffed grouse, North Dakota waterfowl, and South Dakota pheasants. These huntsmen select the hunting area each day based on their knowledge of local habitat, weather conditions and surrounding hunting pressure, to insure plenty of opportunities for a successful hunt.

Four wheel drive buses safely transport hunters, gear, guides, and dogs to all areas of the ranch. Creature comforts are not forgotten. Your guides bring along a field lunch and plenty of snacks, soda, bottled water and hot coffee as needed.

You will hunt in the traditional upland manner, slowly moving through the coverts of corn, grass, shelter belts and marsh hay. The Pine Shadows ORVIS Endorsed springers will find, flush, and retrieve ringnecks for you. Blockers will keep the running birds in the cover until the drive is nearly complete.

The end-of-the-field final flush excites all!

As the day comes to an end, you will return to the lodge for pictures to preserve the day's experience. Your birds will be cleaned, packaged and frozen while you retire to the spacious lounge for complimentary cocktails from the fully stocked bar before dinner.
