UGUIDE and South Dakota - A winning combination. Iowa Pheasant Hunting and North Dakota Pheasant Hunting do not compare. Prior to 2000 I hunted Iowa wild birds for 20 years and had never hunted South Dakota. I used to think the 2 states compared but there is no comparison. No state beats South Dakota for wilds bird numbers and nobody beats UGUIDE for hunting pheasant self-guided.

UGUIDE Pheasant Camp Testimonials

Chris- I wanted to thank you again for the great hunt. I have been hunting upland birds for 25 years, from Quail Hunts in West Texas to chasing Huns in Canada and everything in between. The hunt you provided is right near the top. There was plenty of cover and plenty of birds. Rest assured that we will be back. It was so refreshing to find a place that caters to true bird hunters. I was looking for a place to hunt wild birds. I didn't want someone to dress my birds, someone to cook my supper, or wait on me like I was at the Hyatt. I wanted a good place to hunt, No More No Less. That is what you provided with U-Guide. Thanks again for everything. Jeff – Kansas

Chris - We had a really good weekend. Hunting wild birds is very exciting. The first field we walked on had close to 40 birds jump out on us. I will give you copies of a couple pictures we took along with a reference sometime soon. I am also trying to put together a group again for next year. Thanks again for your help and I look forward to working with you again. Rich - Minnesota

Chris - Wanted to let you know that we had a great time on our hunt. It was everything that we expected and more. I am not a meat hunter and we enjoyed our experience there very much. We saw many deer, both Muleys and Whitetail and enjoyed watching two bucks fighting in a field. Saw two badgers (a first for me). My son-in-law shot his first pheasant. My son got several sharptails - saw quite a few. My prize was a fully mature, male prarie chicken (another first for me) which is now at the taxidermist - could not find a single mark where it was hit - maybe a heart attack. The hosts were very cordial and provided us with a nice map so we knew exactly where we could hunt. The house was super clean and had everything we could want. Jim - Illinois

Chris - Wanted to give you a report on our trip. Still lots of birds. Limited out on Roosters all 3 days, but we had to work for them. 5 Sharpies the last day and 1 Hun. We had a great time. Jason showed us the property and left us alone. Perfect setup for 3 people. Lodging is outstanding. Weather was perfect. Randy – Kansas

We had a great time in SD at the J Bar Lazy 7 - our group is going to re-book for next year for the same weekend! We definitely saw more birds than last year, and the milo plots Jason added were productive. It'd be nice to see him put in some CRP or at least some more uncut alfalfa fields - the birds liked the alfalfa field near the house but it doesn't take much to overhunt that one. No limits...but then again limits are not what the J Bar property is really about anyway. Greg - Minneapolis


Chris - The guys from last year all agree that Pheasant Camp is our place to hunt from now on. As Milo told you before, we have been looking for a place to do a pheasant hunt every year and we have found that place at Pheasant Camp. Thanks for the good hunt and feel free to use me as a reference anytime. Milo and I plan to do this hunt until we cant walk anymore and then we hope our sons will take us. I had my oldest son with me this year and plan to take both sons next year. Milo plans to do the same with his two boys. I can tell you that the second week at pheasant camp will be booked by us for a long, long time. The accommodations were perfect, nothing needs to be added. The hunt was good also. All in all, it was a huge improvement over last year. Thanks again, Tom – Alabama

Chris, I wanted to take a minute and thank you for the fabulous hunt we experienced this past November at your Choteau Creek location. As you already know we have rebooked for the same week in 2008. I’ve hunted pheasants for over 35 years in several different states but I had never been to South Dakota before. Our expectations were high but we never expected to see this many birds. I understand that 2007 was a record year for SD pheasant populations and based on what we saw this had to be the case. It took us about half a day to decide how to best hunt the large fields and flush the birds in gun range with only 6 hunters but after some trial and error we got it figured out. I had my 2 young Brittany’s with me and they had more solid bird work in 3 days than they will get in a whole season in PA. This was the perfect place to work young dogs since there were so many birds. If they made a mistake, they were going to get another chance in just a few minutes. By the end of the first day both dogs were just rock solid. The lessons learned out there have stuck with them and I have had several chances to show them off since returning home. The food plots and CRP mixed in with the normal crops make for great covers and provided several different types on hunting opportunities on the same property. Staying in the old homestead farmhouse was the next best part of the trip. It was set up perfect for a hunting group and added a real homey feel to our trip. Our host Vern could not have been more accommodating and he even let us win at cards each evening after dinner. For a group of experienced hunters with their own dogs this is the perfect hunting situation and we preferred it over any fancy lodge or shooting preserve we have hunted in the past. I look forward to future hunts. Thanks again - Jim - Pennsylvania
