*** Bird Dog Bunkhouse 2022 ***


Here is your opportunity to be afield hunting wild roosters with your hunting buddies and dogs. You are also invited to come solo and make new friends while staying here.


Last fall was a bit tougher hunting due to drought conditions leading to farmers being allowed to cut hay on much of the public hunting areas. That doesn't mean that there weren't plenty of pheasants or that we didn't take our share.  This winter was relatively easy on the birds. My friends who came back to hunt in December and January 2022 found lots of birds and no hunters! The fall 2022 season will again be very good.


This is my eighth season making my house available to hunters coming to South Dakota. Many of the guys have returned each year to hunt wild roosters. Some hunt five days where as several stay to hunt 10 and 15 days!


For 2020, South Dakota changed opening week from a noon opening hunt time to 10am start for every day of the season. They also extended the season to end January 31 giving hunters another full month to hunt! This speaks volumes as to how they feel the pheasant population has been.


My offer is for lodging with hunting on your own with your personal dogs. This is NOT a guided hunt. Hunting is excellent so no need to pay for private land access. If you would like to supplement the available public hunting with a day or two on private land I can share contacts I have made to hunt good farms for $100-150/gun/day depending on availability.


I can furnish references on request. Guys come from all over the country to stay at my house. Several guys who frequent this site have stayed here to hunt and many still do.


My house is set up for groups up to eight people. Six or more people will have the house to themselves.


For this coming South Dakota pheasant hunting season I have the following dates available:


October 14-18 ----  available -- $450 per person


October 19-23 ---- 4 available -- $450 per person


November 25-29 ---- 4 available -- $450 per person


Nov 30-Dec 4 ---- 4 available -- $450 per person


December 5-9 ---- 4 available -- $450 per person


December 10- 14 ---- 4 available -- $450 per person


December 15-19 ---- available -- $450 per person


PM me here for my phone number to answer questions, provide specific details and make reservations.


Don't miss out on another year of fun.   Here are photos from 2021


*** If you guys want to put together a 16ga group of hunters for one of the slots please let me know so we can put it together ***

Thanks for looking!

What part of the state is your house in?

What if my dad(66)and I(37)wanted to stay for deer hunting? And possibly do some bird hunting on our own, Is that ok?

Waiting on our draw results.

Carl one of the photos is with my Francotte 16ga!

It's not my intention to torment you. Haha!

I like to use my guns when I'm there.

Yes I still do all the meals for the guys when I'm there hunting. I enjoy doing that and guys know they will eat really well.

Emtymag you can message me. We don't hunt in big groups. Generally just who you come out with. Small groups have higher success.

November 25-29 ---- 4 available -- $450 per person

Other dates listed are still available.

If you want to put together a 16ga week let me know. I alway put that invitation out there but don't get much interest from this group.
I've had a few of you out individually. Seems like you guys would have a fun time instead of just meeting on the site.

I've booked a few spots for this coming season but still have plenty of good dates available.

South Dakota has been getting rains this spring so that's good for the birds coming on.

Send me a message if you would like to get in for 2022. It's always a good time.

Thanks

**Summer Update**

There was a good number of pheasants which held over from 2021 season.

The hatch was excellent due to favorable weather and nesting conditions.

We had good precipitation which helped produce grasshoppers and insects that the little birds feed on.

Large numbers of young birds are being seen this summer by my friends who live there. First hatch chicks are doing well. There are also smaller chicks telling us that hens which lost their nest or broods re-nested for a second hatch.

This fall will be an excellent hunting season. I'm very excited and optimistic.

Here are the available dates with open spots to stay at my house.

October 14-18 --- 8 available ---$450 per person

October 19-23 --- 5 available --- $450 per person

Oct 29- Nov 2 --- 2 available --- $700 per person (includes 3 meals per day)

November 25-29 --- 4 available --- $450 per person

December 10-14 --- SOLD OUT

December 15-17 --- 6 available --- $250 per person

Send me a PM so I can give you my phone number to answer questions and book the dates you want to hunt.
