Guided Pheasant Hunts in South Dakota
The hunting land of Rieger Creek Lodge is the best-kept secret in South Dakota pheasant hunting. High bird counts, easy terrain, and strategically placed food plots help to draw the pheasants onto the land controlled by Rieger Creek Lodge. All of these factors along with our luxury lodge combine to make hunting at Rieger Creek an exceptional experience.
Private Pheasant Hunting LandExclusive to Your Group
The pheasant hunting land at Rieger Creek Lodge is all private and relatively easy terrain. With flat fields and only slight inclines, most hunters are more than capable to handle the walking that is required when hunting pheasants. Well-spaced trees cover a portion of the pheasant hunting ground to provide shelter for the pheasants but are still easily walked through by hunters and dogs.
Hunting Groups
At Rieger Creek Lodge hunting groups are never mixed and you will have a professional guide exclusively for your group. The hunting land and food plots are manicured to fit groups of any size. All groups will have the use of our amazing hunting dogs but you are welcome to bring your own.

Well Maintained Food Plots
Pheasants typically stay near their food supply, which is why Rieger Creek Lodge plants food plots in strategic locations. These food plots provide food for the many pheasants that call the Rieger Creek land home and help them to remain. Hunters are allowed to walk through the food plots and the adjoining fields and dogs will frequently flush several pheasants at a time out of the food plots.
Wild Pheasant Hunting
South Dakota Bird Count
Walworth and Campbell counties are predicted by the South Dakota Games Fish and Park to have 125 to 225 birds per square mile of hunting land. The Rieger Creek pheasant hunting land is located in the heart of these counties.
Best of Both Worlds – Wild Birds AND Preserve Land
Hunting both non-preserve wild birds and birds on preserve land offers the best of both worlds for hunters looking for a unique and challenging experience. At Rieger Creek Lodge, we are excited to offer you the chance to hunt not only on our preserve land but also be able to hunt wild birds on unmanaged land.
Hunting wild birds in their natural habitats provides a sense of adventure and the thrill of the hunt, as hunters must understand the behavior and habitat of the species they are pursuing. On the other hand, hunting birds on preserve lands offers a more controlled environment, with well-stocked populations and the convenience of a managed habitat and more consistent hunts.
Combining these two types of hunting allows hunters to experience the excitement of pursuing wild game in the great outdoors and the controlled environment of preserve lands. This offers a variety of hunting opportunities, making for a well-rounded hunting experience.
