South Dakota prairie dog hunting is legendary. I have heard reports stating that South Dakota has more prairie dogs than the rest of the country combined. To “Prairie Dog Hunter’s”, that means an awful lot of long range target shooting! The prairie dog towns have been going through a rapid expansion.

Prairie dogs offer sportsmen countless hours of entertainment. This is a great opportunity to practice target shooting, relieve some stress, or just burn through a few hundred rounds of ammo in the off season.We can set up within 200 yards of prairie dog towns or set up out past 500 yards for a real long range challenge. You can expect shots of less than 100 yards to as far as you can see. Prairie dogs are small targets that will stand still; often times give you a few chances, and seem to replenish themselves as the day goes on. We approach the edge of a prairie dog town and set up and shoot for an hour or two or until the prairie dogs start getting scarce, then we pull up and drive over the hill and continue prairie dog hunting. In some places, we can shoot all day from the same hill top without moving.

We have numerous 40-50 acre prairie dog towns and also 750 acre plus prairie dog towns. The advantage of the smaller towns is that we can hunt from town to town so the prairie dog hunting remains diverse. Either way, prairie dog shooting is an excellent way to sharpen all of your shooting skills that you will need when you go after that big buck this fall. The best prairie dog hunting in South Dakota practice a person can do for your dream hunts is taking shots at game at varying distances.

Portable shooting benches, sandbags, and guide are provided--along with daily refreshments in the cooler.
