We’re excited to announce the addition of hundreds of new acres for the 2026 hunting season!
We’re also adding dozens of new food plots that, combined with our existing plots, will provide excellent habitat and cover for pheasants—and even more great hunting opportunities for our guests!
Don’t let your 2026 pheasant hunting season be a bust! Come join us at Dakota Hot Spots for an outstanding pheasant hunting experience!
Dakota Hot Spots is a family-owned business with a farming background. Each year, we plant hundreds of acres of food plots designed to attract and hold large numbers of pheasants. These plots consist primarily of grain sorghum (milo) and corn and are planted in strips to provide easy walking and an enjoyable hunting experience.
The cat tails along the shores of lake Byre provide incredible cover. As birds flush out over the lake, it offers a beautiful backdrop to a scenic South Dakota pheasant hunt.
Our property features numerous tree belts (shelterbelts) that provide excellent cover and help hold large numbers of pheasants, especially during the late season when snow begins to fill in the food plots. These shelterbelts play a vital role in pheasant survival during the winter months, offering protection from harsh weather conditions and predators. We have planted dozens of shelterbelts throughout the property and continue to add more each year to improve wildlife habitat and enhance the hunting experience.
