South Dakota Pheasant Hunting at Thunderstik Lodge

Thunderstik Lodge A typical day at Thunderstik Lodge begins with a hot prepared breakfast. After the morning hunt, lunch is served in the field. At the end of the afternoon hunt — when limits are caught or when the sun begins to set — guests return to the lodge for cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, a round of clays or a soak in the hot tub. A gourmet dinner is served at 7:00pm. In the evening, guests enjoy after dinner drinks, a sit by the stone fireplace and games in our great room.

Travel Information
Thunderstik Lodge is located on the Missouri River, just outside Chamberlain, South Dakota and two hours west of Sioux Falls. Air service from all major cities to Sioux Falls is available through United and Northwest airlines. Private charters can fly into either Mitchell or Chamberlain airports. Thunderstik provides round trip ground transportation from any of these airports. Rental cars are also available at Sioux Falls.

Food
Like everything else at Thunderstik, our food is first class. A typical breakfast includes eggs; bacon, sausage or ham; French toast; fruits; cereals and breads. Lunches are served in the field picnic style and include sandwiches, stews, chili, chips, cookies and more. Our five-course gourmet dinners include entrees such as steak, pheasant, ribs or buffalo.

Weather
September is usually warm and sunny with average temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s. October and November hunts are cooler, especially in the morning, with temperatures in the 50s and 60s. We encourage guests to come prepared for any type of weather and to check the local weather prior to their departure.
