Prime pheasant hunting is not about acres, it is about habitat

The smell of homemade breads, giant cinnamon rolls and fresh coffee are the beginning of your day at ScatterGun. By 7:30 it’s time for a breakfast you will never forget. By 9 AM your new super bus complete with guides and dogs will be rolling down the driveway for another incredible wing shooting adventure. With the most generous limits in the state, seven birds a day the action is about to get started. Gun preference is either 12 or 20 gauge and we offer guns for guest use free of charge. Each of our guides has three to four wonderful ScatterGun Retrievers and our guide to guest ratio is less than four to one. Our dogs are best described as unbelievable.

Our three thousand acre ranch is divided into more than twenty prime hunting areas. The diverse habitat provides virtually every kind of cover you could imagine from expansive food plots of sorghum, corn, millet and native grasses to over five miles of winding creek bottom. All of our hunting is less than ten minutes from the front door. Prime hunting is not about acres it is about habitat. Because we do no commercial farming and have no livestock the entire ranch has been devoted to the development of the finest hunting habitat to be found anywhere in the state. If your group is four or more hunters you will only hunt with the members of your own party.

Here are the words of internationally renowned wing shooting writer Stuart Williams, “The hunting as ScatterGun is as good as I have ever experienced. It is hard to believe but it truly is comparable to the high quality driven shoots in England costing thousands of dollars per day.”

The success of our habitat program has allowed us to offer the most generous limits in South Dakota. Twenty-one birds per gun means you get to spend more time hunting. Don’t be surprised to see twenty to a hundred birds in the air at the same time.

After a great lunch back at the lodge and a few minutes to relax you’re headed back to the field to fill out your daily limit. When your done enjoy a round of sporting clays or just sit and relax. You will have made lots great memories that you will never forget.
