Good Pheasant Hunts
Justin Baumann- Rieger Creek Lodge Guide
Justin Baumann was born and raised in North Central South Dakota and has been hunting pheasants for as long as he can remember. Some of Justin's earliest hunting memories include going out with his Dad. Justin was too young to carry a gun but he helped his Dad by flushing out the pheasants and retrieving the birds his Dad shot. The time Justin spent with his Dad earned him the family nickname of "Bird Dog".
The tradition continues for Justin as he is now teaching his children how to hunt for pheasants. Although his own son is still too young to carry a gun, he spends many hours in the field with Justin learning the tricks and techniques.
Justin has been a guide for Rieger Creek Lodge for three years and enjoys being able to take hunters out into the field. For Justin, the challenge of helping hunters of all skill levels have a good time and a successful hunt is what he enjoys the most about guiding for the Rieger Creek pheasant hunting Lodge.
