FLY-IN PHEASANT HUNTING

Our hunting headquarters, Dakota River Ranch, is conveniently served by the nearby Aberdeen Regional Airport for both commercial and private aircraft. A Northwest Airlines partner, Mesaba, has four flights daily into Aberdeen, even more during the early part of the pheasant season. Great Lakes Airlines, a partner of Frontier and United, has daily direct flights from Denver.

Our contact for private aircraft services is the Aberdeen Flying Service operated by the Caven family, 605-225-1384. They have everything from fuel to repair and maintenance to hanger and tie down. They can meet you in your city and bring you to and from Aberdeen at 350+ mph.

We have an airport van and will meet your shuttle needs promptly.
