The Way Pheasant Hunting Should Be
Forget about high-fenced preserves and pen-raised birds. At Farrell Farms, you'll hunt wild pheasants across native South Dakota prairie — the way it was meant to be.
Bob, his daughter Ryas, and her husband Aaron guide every hunt personally — this is a true family operation, and they've spent their lives walking these fields. They know where the birds hold, when they flush, and how to put you in position. Paired with trained bird dogs that live for the flush, every hunt is an adventure that tests your skill and rewards your patience.
Our hunting grounds span Aurora & Davison Counties, from the prairie fields surrounding our White Lake lodge to the legendary James River Oxbow near Mitchell. We load up each morning and follow the birds — some days that means walking the native grasslands and CRP fields close to home, other days it means the run into Davison County to work the Oxbow bottoms. Either way, it's some of the finest pheasant hunting in the state.
