Just to add to Jent's post about Sandy Cedars these are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. I've hunted S. Dakota for 15 years now and I started with a group of 16-17 hunters in a typical pheasant drive where 14 or so walkers course the field, usually standing corn, sorghum or CRP and flush the birds to 3 or 4 blockers. Ok if you don't have a dog. But if you have a dog as I do you want to work your dog in a more controlled setting. That's when I found Sandy Cedars and Mike and Jim Puffer. These are all wild birds, no planted or released birds as there was in the prior operation I had hunted. You don't rely on sometime 100yds away flushing a bird and maybe you'll get a shot at it. It's you and your dog. If your dog does his job and you do yours you will end up with a bird. That's bird hunting in it's truest form whether it's pheasant, woodcock, grouse, etc. We hunt at our own pace on small parcels of cover. The lodge is very nice, food is great. Tell them Daryl sent you.
