South Dakota Pheasant Hunting at Thunderstik Lodge

Thunderstik Lodge You're happy and excited: to be punching through heavy cover with your gun, hunting buddies and the dogs, and you're thinking, "does it get any better than this?" Just then roosters burst from cover almost on command...You're not dreaming, you must be at Thunderstik Lodge.

Pheasant Hunting Experience
The key to any successful hunt is access to good habitat and prime game. Thunderstik Lodge hunts offer the best of both. You'll find expansive shelterbelts, native prairie grass and assorted row crop. The inclusion of thousands of acres of CRP has provided the perfect nesting habitat to make this the world's finest pheasant hunting experience.

Then, of course, there are the famous South Dakota pheasants. Chamberlain and Thunderstik are located in what South Dakotans refer to as "the golden triangle" —the area in the central region of the state where it is believed more birds are reared in the wild each year than any other place in North America.


You're Not Done Shooting?
Thunderstik Lodge offers hunters more than just pheasants. Hungarian partridge add a unique flavor to a South Dakota hunt. For the waterfowlers, we offer prime duck and goose hunting along the Missouri River. Thousands of Canadian geese and North American ducks migrate through here every fall and while their arrival is never predictable, one thing certainly is: It's an unforgettable experience. And no trip to Thunderstik is complete without a round on our truly challenging sporting clays course.

Early season hunters can enjoy excellent Walleye fishing on the Missouri. Or guests may choose to visit the nearby Akta Lakota Museum and learn about local history and native Americans.

Gun Dogs Supreme
The highlight of a Thunderstik hunt is, without question, our wonderful working retrievers. They are our pride and joy. World-renowned trainers well versed in the tradition of upland bird hunting have professionally and individually trained each dog. Whether it's breaking through dense cover to put a rooster to wing, or making a spectacular retrieve, our dogs are guaranteed to provide you with an experience you will never forget.

For hunters who feel it just wouldn't be the same without their best companion by their side, we're happy to provide kennels on site.

"This is my 3rd trip to Thunderstik and I look forward to next year!"
