At Dakota Hot Spots, we take pride in offering some of the finest pheasant hunting South Dakota has to offer. Our reputation has been built on exceptional hunting, outstanding accommodations, delicious home-cooked meals, and a commitment to providing an unforgettable experience for every guest.
World-Class Pheasant Hunting. Exceptional Bird Numbers. Unforgettable Experiences.
Our success begins long before hunting season. We farm with pheasants in mind, carefully managing thousands of acres of prime upland habitat to promote strong, healthy bird populations. From strategically planted food plots to carefully maintained nesting and winter cover, every aspect of our habitat management is focused on providing the ideal conditions for pheasants to thrive.
This year-round dedication to farming and wildlife habitat is what makes Dakota Hot Spots special. The results speak for themselves—abundant pheasants, exceptional hunting opportunities, and memorable experiences that keep our guests coming back year after year.
What sets Dakota Hot Spots apart from nearly every other hunting operation is that all of our hunting property is located on one large, contiguous tract of land. Our guests have access to thousands of connected acres of dedicated pheasant habitat, including milo and corn strips, CRP grasslands, established shelterbelts, sloughs, and natural cover surrounding Lake Byre. This unique landscape provides exceptional pheasant habitat and an outstanding hunting experience, all without the need to travel between scattered properties.
Dakota Hot Spots is the perfect destination for entertaining business executives, rewarding employees, or hosting corporate clients and associates. Build relationships, discuss business, and enjoy exceptional pheasant hunting in the heart of South Dakota’s pheasant country. Corporate outings simply don’t get any better than this!
We can accommodate up to 34 overnight guests on-site, and groups of 23 or more hunters enjoy exclusive use of our lodging and facilities.

Early season pheasant hunts start September 1 and runs up till the 3rd weekend of October each year. (view our rates page). Early season pheasant hunts can be hot, so bring a short sleeve shirt under your vest just in case. Enjoy the weather outside with a cocktail or hit our shooting range after your hunt. Early season is a great time to entertain your corporation, distributors or say thank you to clients.
Late Season Pheasant Hunts
Late season pheasant hunts run from February 1st to March 31st each year. The hunting can be quite cold, but the birds are bunched up, move quick and the action can be fast. You will have a hoot hunting with your friends. For the Dakota Hot Spots staff and dogs... it's the most fun for us.
