South Dakota is famous for being the pheasant hunting capital of the world, and Thunderstik Lodge is the most luxurious pheasant hunting experience available. Situated in 7,000 acres of picturesque private grassland in South Dakota, the lodge overlooks the majestic Missouri River. Since 1988 our professional staff have been tending to hunter’s needs and creating the perfect pheasant hunting experience. That is why many guests have been coming to the lodge for over 20 years!
When it comes to the hunting, Thunderstik Lodge does not simply rely on the naturally fantastic pheasant hunting in South Dakota. They also practice impeccable land management. They plant and maintain a variety of different crops and grasses that provide great cover and food sources for the naturally plentiful South Dakota pheasants. In fact, Thunderstik Lodge was awarded the prestigious Brent Wilbur Habitat Award in recognition of their pheasant habitat creation and improvement. All this means that ending the day early with limits is a common experience! Additionally, being on the Missouri River affords hunters the opportunity to make the trip a blast and cast by spending the afternoon walleye fishing! If that is something you’re looking for, contact Thunderstik Lodge directly to discuss the dates when fishing can be added to the trip.
