Full description and what we offer
Dakota Safaris has been running hunts in western South Dakota since 1965. They control approximately 150,000 acres of privately owned land north and south of Wall, along the Cheyenne River drainage—rough country with cedar-covered hills that hold good numbers of trophy bucks.
You get 4-5 days of exclusive hunting with experienced rancher guides who know every draw and hideout in the terrain. Dakota Safaris guarantees you'll have opportunities at 4-point bucks (western count) or better, with a 95-100% success rate. The hunting style is flexible: walk and stalk if you want the challenge, or let your guide position you and drive you to strategic spots in four-wheel drive vehicles.
One of their hunters made the Boone & Crockett record book in 2010.
