Where you will hunt
Territory
There are 9 Lakota Reservations in South Dakota offering millions of acres of prime muley, whitetail and pronghorn hunting. Each reservation offers its own tag lottery. We can help hunters navigate the admin of all tag opportunities with high draw success hovering around 75% if we put you in on multiple reservations. Hunters only pay for the tags they choose to hunt. Landscapes vary from rugged badlands, rolling hills, native prairies, ag fields, wooded river bottoms, and massive river breaks along the Missouri River. Within the reservation boundaries there are deeded private ranches that can only be hunted with a State of South Dakota tag so we can help groups of hunters draw and fill a mix of tags out of the same camp.

Excellent outfitter and guide!
Excellent communication. Guide was excellent, knowledgeable and new how to hunt mule deer for sure! They will work very hard for you to get your game.
Fair accommodations. Due to the remoteness, it was a little tricky to get to processing and taxidermy, but alls well that ends well. I was on 13,000 acres of private land, so not hard to understand.
