South Dakota is known to produce quality whitetails, due to its vast farmlands, rugged creek bottoms and covered tree draws. Come see what South Dakota has to offer on our ARCHERY ONLY whitetail hunts. All deer hunts take place on private ground consisting of covered creek bottoms, pastures and CRP.
South Dakota Archery Deer Tags are "over the counter" but must be applied for by April 1 of the corresponding year for license to be valid on both public and private ground. If bought after April 1, license is only valid on Private Ground.
All hunts are 5 days, 6 nights, fully guided hunts including meals and lodging at our South Dakota Camp.
When hunting in South Dakota only the use of a Compound Bow is allowed to hunt whitetail in South Dakota. You can expect to be put in either a Ground Blind or a Tree stand. Our land is well managed to help keep the area very low-stress which gives an opportunity rate of 100% to harvest a trophy buck. The fields you will be hunting are exclusive to archery hunts only.
You can expect to arrive the night prior to your first day of hunting to get settled in and have dinner. Transportation is available to and from the airport The next morning your first hunt will begin, you will head out to the field with your guide and one other hunter an hour before daybreak. Expect to hunt for a few hours then head into the lodge mid-day where breakfast will be served and a light lunch just before heading back out for the evening sit. September Hunts will hunt both mornings and evenings whereas in our November hunts you can choose to sit all day.
