Hunting connects us with our pioneer past

Archibald Rutledge once said, “It has always seemed to me that any man is a better man for being a hunter. This sport confers a certain constant alertness, and develops a certain ruggedness of character… Moreover, it allies us to the pioneer past. In a deep sense, this great land of ours was won for us by hunters.”  

Companies like Pheasant Fest in Cresbard help ensure South Dakota's rich hunting tradition survives and thrives into the next generation. It offers pheasant hunting in a natural setting on 30,000 acres between Northville and Lakota.

Guests have guided hunting options and lodging in furnished houses with all the amenities of home.

Pheasant Fest caters to hunters from all over the country, even offering transportation to and from the Aberdeen regional airport.
