There’s something special about a pheasant hunt in South Dakota, the crisp morning air, the sound of wings bursting from the grass, and the shared excitement between friends and family. At Pheasant Cove Outfitters, that tradition runs deep. Nestled in the heart of the “Pheasant Hunting Capital of the World,” this woman-owned, family-run operation has been welcoming hunters for over three decades. Every season brings the same promise — exceptional hunting, unmatched hospitality, and memories that last a lifetime.
Founded by Marv and Carol and now led by their daughter Robin, with the next generation, Teddy and Hayley, carrying on the family tradition, Pheasant Cove Outfitters embodies everything that makes Midwestern hunting so meaningful. You won’t find a corporate hunting lodge here. Instead, you’ll experience genuine warmth, personal attention, and a commitment to making every guest feel like part of the family. From the moment you arrive, the team’s passion for pheasant hunting and the outdoors shines through in every detail.
After an action-packed day in the field, there’s no better place to unwind than back at “The Cove.” Hunters are treated to comfortable accommodations that strikes the perfect balance between rustic charm and modern convenience. And when it’s time to eat, the home-cooked meals are just as much a part of the experience as the hunt itself. From hearty breakfasts to satisfying dinners, every dish is made from scratch and served with a side of that unmistakable South Dakota hospitality. It’s the kind of place where you’ll swap stories around the table long after the day’s hunts are done.
Whether you’re a seasoned upland hunter or joining for your first trip, Pheasant Cove Outfitters delivers an experience unlike any other, rich with tradition, camaraderie, and first-class hunting. With limited bookings available each season, now is the time to reserve your spot and see why generations of hunters return year after year. Exceptional birds, welcoming hosts, and the comforts of home, that’s the Pheasant Cove difference.
