South Dakota Pheasants

Situated in the heart of the Central Flyway, the Cheyenne Ridge North Platte Outpost is quickly becoming recognized as one of the country’s most predictable waterfowl destinations.

Occupying three miles of river bottom and over 5,000 acres of Cheyenne Ridge Outfitters-owned land, the North Platte Outpost invites you to enjoy some of the best waterfowl shooting there is.  With both river frontage and flooded fields, we have open water throughout the season, regardless of the weather.  In addition to an abundance of ducks, large numbers of Canada geese use this as area as staging grounds before heading further south.  Enjoy your passion for duck hunting from the comfort of our heated blinds in the morning, followed in the afternoon by some of the best pheasant and chukar hunting in the Midwest.

Awaken to the sun shining brightly on iridescent cock pheasants feeding in the groomed food plots in front of the Lodge. Grab a cup of freshly made coffee and enjoy a country breakfast fit for king before meeting your guides and hunt manager for your daily safety meeting.

Walk outside to await your guides, dogs and field transportation. Take in the open skies, the endless horizon, and the beauty of the seemingly infinite rolling prairies and you’ll quickly understand what makes people come here from all over the world to pheasant hunt.

Your pheasant hunting experience starts the moment you gather your guns and gear from your private locker and head out on that first morning hunt. Our attentive staff will happily share their knowledge that comes with vast years of experience in this rich land. Accompanied by equally experienced and enthusiastic canines, they ensure that each guest will have the tools to bring back a limit. Unlimited ammunition, Beretta shotguns – in case you forgot yours – and a sky filled with pheasants make Cheyenne Ridge a hunt of a lifetime.
