South Dakota Pheasants

[CMDavies0671]

I have a need to go to Buffalo County in extreme northwest South Dakota. It is a haul from here, but might be worthwhile if there was some decent pheasant hunting to do in that part of the state. Can anyone direct me to sources of info on bird hunting in that region? I'm not finding much on Google.

Thanks

Been thru there on the way to SW ND. Cover in SW ND the last 5 years has gone from shoulder/waist high, to ankle high. Any corn has been left up well into November. So guess where the few birds are. I don’t hunt corn anyways. I like to keep track of my dogs and watch em work. Better off hunting sharpies IMHO. This last Oct in SW ND I saw 2 pheasant in 4 days. Dozens of sharpies. Saw more pheasant in NE montana around Glasgow this year while catching deerz. All on private.

SW ND corn/sunflowers still standing made the trip this year much harder than the last one to find roosters. We'd scrounge up a few each day, but not nearly as easy as before. Still a good time to follow the pooch around.
