Without a doubt, South Dakota is the pheasant hunting capitol of the world.
Pheasants and pheasant hunting are solidly engrained in South Dakota culture for good reason.
Successfully introduced in 1908, this game bird native to China thrives in South Dakota’s diverse landscape of grasslands, croplands, wetlands and shelterbelts.
Since 1919, the tradition of pheasant hunting has brought friends and families together in holiday-like fashion. Every year opening weekend brings unprecedented enthusiasm, excitement, and activity to cities and rural communities across the state.
