Located on 5000 acres in beautiful South Dakota, including 2500 prime hunting acres, Ringneck Retreat offers 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 hunt, you’ll benefit from owner Darik Tschetter’s 30–plus years of hunting experience, as well as his warm hospitality and incredible passion for nature. Darik and his team of expert guides offer challenging hunts customized to fit your group or individual needs.

When you finish hunting, relax in the comfortable, yet rustic, atmosphere of our lodge. Built in fall 2006, our six–bedroom, four–bathroom lodge can accommodate up to 18 people. With log walls, imposing log staircases, and a breathtaking 2.5–story wall of windows, you’ll feel close to 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.
