South Dakota pheasant hunting is an upland bird hunter's dream. The South Dakota pheasant thrives on our 5000 acres of beautiful South Dakota habitat, including 2500 prime pheasant hunting acres, Ringneck Retreat offers hunters and guests a truly wild bird hunting experience. Our natural surroundings teem with wild pheasants, and they also provide excellent habitat for geese, ducks, deer, coyote, fox, and yes your occasional jack rabbit. When you join us for a pheasant hunt, you’ll benefit from owner Darik Tschetter’s 30–plus years of bird hunting experience, as well as his warm hospitality and incredible passion for nature. Darik and his team of expert guides and top gun dogs offer challenging hunts customized to fit your group or individual needs.
When you finish pheasant hunting, relax in the comfortable, yet rustic, atmosphere of our hunting lodge. Flushing from the open SD feilds like a rooster pheasant in fall 2006, our six–bedroom, four–bathroom lodge can accommodate up to 18 bird hunters. With log walls, imposing log staircases lined with wild pheasant mounts, and a breathtaking South Dakota views from our 2.5–story wall of windows, you’ll feel close to South Dakota's wild nature even when you’re relaxing indoors. Yet our staff brings a bit of elegance to your get–away as well, with delicious home–cooked meals and all of the amenities you’ll need to feel at home.
Pheasant Hunting in South Dakota has long been a family tradition. Ringneck Retreat is inviting you to join in on our South Dakota pheasant hunting tradition.
“I woke up early to the sounds of cackling rooster pheasant the sun rising over the South Dakota corn fields and the smell of hot coffee. The excitement of my first South Dakota Pheasant was brewing hotter than the coffee. The experience is more than I could dream.”

“The only disappointment was in my shotgun shooting! Until, Darik told me something I’ll never forget – you can only shoot one pheasant at a time – there was so many pheasants I wasn’t concentrating on the bird I was shooting but the 100’s of flushing pheasants. Thanks Darik”
