Premier South Dakota Pheasant Hunting
Established in 2023, Sportsman's Outpost is quickly becoming a premier pheasant hunting lodge in eastern South Dakota. We may be a newer business, but we have a wealth of knowledge and experience in the trade. We have a sister lodge in the business with over 20 years in South Dakota pheasant hunting and they are booked full, this is how Sportsman’s Outpost came about. We control over 10,000 acres of prime pheasant hunting habitat that is managed for your hunt and the hunts to follow to be world class. Revamped since purchase, our lodge boasts over 7500 square feet of comfort and amenities. After your pheasant hunt, enjoy story time around the fire pit, have a toast at our onsite bar or walk over to the local watering hole (conveniently located 57 steps from our back door). Play a game of pool, catch the big game on TV, or challenge one your comrades to a game of Big Buck Hunter. Each of our 10 individually climate-controlled units have high quality mattresses, bedding, and boast their own private bathroom. Pheasant hunting with us is a truly unique experience and we hope you can see it for yourself.

What is a Typical Day of Pheasant Hunting with Sportsman's Outpost?
Our pheasant hunts start as early as 10am. We hunt until we limit, we’re tired, or it’s 4pm.
We have our own chef, Todd, who is loved by the hunters. You will be talking about his meals weeks after your hunt is over.
Breakfast is served around 8am. Usually Eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, Eggs Benedict, or Biscuits and Gravy. Have a preference? Todd can probably make it.
After breakfast, we will load the bus and head to our spot. Some days up to 60 miles away from Ramona. Most days, we pack a hot lunch to go. If we hunt close to the lodge, we will come back to eat.
After the pheasant hunt, we can stop at some local establishments for a cold beverage, if preferred. Our bus is always packed with a cooler of water, pop, and beer. Beer is only consumed after the hunt 😊.
Appetizers will be ready by 6pm and supper around 7. Appetizers include – Smoked walleye dip, pheasant egg rolls, pheasant poppers, coconut shrimp, and lamb chislic.
After supper, hunters can do whatever they please. We have multiple TV’s, pool table, big buck hunter – safari, and a stocked bar. Also, the Ramona bar is 57 steps from our back door(We’ve counted, and double checked).
What to Bring on Our SD Pheasant Hunting Trips?
This is a very common question in the pheasant hunting outfitter's world. While we list the "must-have's" below, we also want you to pack as you feel comfortable (and knowing the weather forecast).
From our experience, we suggest you bring the following to enjoy our SD pheasant hunts:
- Lightweight waterproof boots
- Brush pants, upland pants, or chaps
- Layers are KEY - Shell vest/Orange vest
- Multiple layers of clothing
- Comfortable clothes and slippers for lounging
- Gloves thick enough to keep you warm
- Baseball cap / Stocking cap (we have hats for purchase)
- At least a box of premium shotshells for each day of the hunt. (4, 5, or 6 shot)
What Do Our Hunter's Have to Say?
I had the pleasure of joining a guided pheasant hunt with Sportsman’s Outpost in Ramona, SD, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Brandon and his crew run a top-notch operation, ensuring everything is well-organized and seamless. Our guides, Brandon and Tyler, along with their highly skilled dogs, delivered three unforgettable days of hunting, consistently putting us on birds.
The experience was elevated by Todd, who prepared three outstanding hot meals each day—his cooking alone is worth the trip! The accommodations at the lodge were perfect—comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully arranged.
This was an exceptional experience from start to finish, and I’m already looking forward to my next trip. Highly recommend Sportsman’s Outpost.

One of the best experiences of my life. From the food, to the hunting, to the fellowship. Experienced guides who put you on the birds and will educate you as much as you request. Highly highly recommend

If you’re thinking about a guided hunt in this area, use this crew. Brandon and Tyler were great guides with stellar labs. We shot our limit of birds in only a few hours every day. Accommodations were nice, and the chef, Todd, makes some of the best meals we’ve ever had.
