Buffalo Butte Ranch Spring Chick Report
July 14, 2015 by Marshall Springer
Hello again from Buffalo Butte Ranch. What a difference a few months can make! We had a relatively dry fall last year followed by a very mild winter once again. With only 10 inches +/- of snow the entire winter, not much moisture was put back into the soil. I’m sure some of you in the East are saying “How could that be?” South Dakota is the land of ice & snow, frozen tundra. Well, we had another very mild winter; temps reached the 70’s in January.

Once again winter was fairly mild in this part of South Dakota. We had a few snow events of 5” + - but nothing news worthy. Of course we had cold temps and wind but if you have spent much time in SD you should expect that. All the pheasants and prairie dogs came through in great shape.

October 8, 2011 by Marshall Springer
Pheasant populations have been reported from the South Dakota Game Fish and Parks as a decline across the state with the harsh winter. However, driving around the ranch at Buffalo Butte Lodge pheasant numbers appear to be good as usual. We are excited for another year of pheasant hunting and look forward to meeting our new groups for 2011. We have a few slots available, so call for availability.
