Antler Ridge Lodge

Antler Ridge Lodge sits in the heart of West River South Dakota—specifically the Golden Triangle region between Chamberlain, Gregory, and Winner. This area holds the highest concentration of pheasants in the entire state, making it the place to be during fall and winter hunting season.

The property spans 3,000 acres of private land with diversified habitat: CRP fields, shelter belts, food plots (milo, cane, millet), creeks, and rolling terrain. Over the past several years, the lodge has planted several thousand trees as part of their conservation program, ensuring sustainable populations and excellent hunting year after year.

Pheasant hunting here is a fair-chase experience mixing wild birds with released birds in their designated preserve. The lodge accommodates small groups (father-son, couples, friends) up to corporate parties with 20+ hunters.

South Dakota holds over 7 million pheasants and remains the #1 pheasant hunting state in the country.

Since 1919, South Dakota has been synonymous with pheasant hunting. Antler Ridge Lodge doesn't just book hunts—they actively manage their 3,000 acres with habitat improvement, food plots, and tree planting to ensure consistent bird populations. The Golden Triangle location, combined with their all-inclusive model (no surprise costs, no separate arrangements needed), makes this a turnkey operation for out-of-state hunters.
