Full description and what we offer
Rolling Bones Outfitters specializes in rifle and archery hunts for pronghorn antelope across sprawling South Dakota private land near Buffalo and Hermosa. Every hunt is fully guided on a 1:1 basis with experienced outfitters who know the terrain and the game.
You'll spend significant time behind quality optics glassing vast landscapes to locate trophy bucks. Once you spot your target, the stalk begins. A major portion of the hunt also uses strategically placed ground blinds positioned near water sources—a proven approach that capitalizes on where antelope concentrate.
Average buck classification: 65-75 inches. Most hunters take bucks around 70 inches.
