Bad River Bucks and Birds in Draper S.D. Used them for several years. Good people, good food. Health issues stopped my going.

I’ve left two phone messages and an email, yet to hear back from them.

Bad River Bucks and Birds

Sounds like they're super busy guiding the folks with current reservations.

Sometimes it takes awhile with bird season and working on deer & antelope hunters. But they will get back to you. If not try again in a few weeks.

That’s good to know, thought maybe I was too late to book a hunt

 

[dusterdave173]

Book PD early and you chance rain--equals mud--can't see where your shots land--book in July like we did --it was 111 degrees when we got there--but hey I could see the dirt fly real good
We hope to book somewhere in the middle of that for 2023
Two days on a scope our eyes were jelly! I would have had to take a day off to do a third day but had so much fun wish I could stay all summer

Consider Buffalo Bute in Gregory. On the high side. Lodging, meals, drinks, include. Nice people good food.

Stay away from Karla's if it is still in business. Research guides on the Indian reservations. The guy we tried a few years ago took us to different areas each day. Then we found out his dad and brother guided too and the fields were being shot almost daily. When we got there in the morning there seemed to be plenty of targets but they all disappeared after the 1st couple shots. Needless to say that trip sucked.

Can you tell us a bit more about this list? Is there a list of landowners looking for help reducing their PD population. I'd like to give that a go.

Also interesting is the COLONY ACREAGE AND DISTRIBUTION OF BLACKTAILED PD IN SD(2020) report.
Non tribal lands are about 72% of total acres. Meade cty has the most non tribal acres. Pennington cty has the most public lands acres. Todd and Oglala Lakota cty has had largest decline in acres. This observation confirmed study is repeated about every 3.5 years.
