YOUR STAY AT THE LODGE

The evening of your arrival will be a time to unpack and unwind. If time permits we can tour the property to get a feel for where we will be hunting and to turn up the anticipation. A wonderful supper and time around the fire getting to know each other will conclude our first evening as we retire to dream of pheasant hunting greatness.
One of the beauties of South Dakota pheasant season is the opportunity to sleep in a bit without missing any of the action. During the first two weeks of the season shooting time is 12:00 noon, moving up to 10:00am for the rest of the year. So, no required pre -dawn rising. After a leisurely big country breakfast it’s off to the multi station sporting clays range for a little warm up. We have designed the course to imitate many of the shots you will face in the field. If you’re a golfer think of it as a practice range. Once we have eliminated all our excuses for missed birds and had a brief safety review, we will spend the morning chasing roosters. Whether you are a seasoned upland hunter or a first timer we will all work together to make it a great day. At some point we will return to the lodge for a casual lunch of homemade soups and sandwiches and its back out for the afternoon hunt. More walking, laughing and shooting in some of Gods’ best country. Finally, we return to the lodge to relax, clean up and embellish stories of legendary hits and misses. Later in the evening it’s another great meal together and a night filled with our namesake; great Fellowship. If all that sounds good, well, you get two more full days of the same thing. When our hunts conclude a little early we will travel the forty minuets to Cabelas outdoor store and visit a true hunter’s paradise. Its 280,000 square feet of stuff you could really use! Another day we will visit our good friend and taxidermist Kenny Kliensasser. We’re a little bias because he’s part of the family, but we think you will agree he’s a true artist. You will have an opportunity to see his showroom and order a mount if your interested. On our fourth and final morning together there will be a continental breakfast available as we bid farewell and make respective airport runs. Fun, fellowship, great food, amazing sunsets and unforgettable hunting in a very special place await you at Dakota Fellowship Lodge. We look forward to our time together.
