Why Buffalo Butte Ranch?
With literally tens of thousands of choices out there for pheasant hunting you have to be asking yourself; what is so different about Buffalo Butte Ranch than the rest? We, along with our past guest, think we have something very special here. There are cheaper hunts out there and there are more expensive hunts available. Considering all the amenities we offer and by taking advantage of our discounts we are a very reasonable priced hunt. We have one simple price for our packages that is all inclusive.
Pheasant Numbers
South Central South Dakota has been labeled "The Pheasant Capitol of the World" and for good reason. The Buffalo Butte Ranch is located in the heart of this area known as the "Golden Triangle" for South Dakota pheasant hunting... A prime pheasant hunting area between Gregory, Winner and Chamberlain. No other region compares to the wild pheasant numbers found in this part of South Dakota. This is South Dakota pheasant hunting and why hunters flock to South Dakota!
Family Owned
Buffalo Butte Ranch is a 6,000 acre privately owned and operated farm which has been in our family for five generations. This is something we take great pride in considering today's climate of mergers, corporate farming and 2nd party investors. This has been a family owned and operated farming operation since 1910 and has guided pheasant hunters for the past 50 years.
The Lodges
We have three separate buildings on our property and have a capacity of up to 30 guests. Make no mistake; we enjoy both small and large groups. We can accommodate most anyone; just let us know your needs.
The Hunting
Our Buffalo Butte Ranch pheasant hunts are in a variety of cover including milo, corn, sudan grass, cattails, tree belts and winding natural waterways and draws. Much of the land west of the Missouri River is marginal farmland and is not planted fence line to fence line. Because of the natural terrain and conservation practices such as CRP and shelter belts, the native pheasants flourish. With over 6,000 acres to hunt you will have many lasting memories.
