Oak Wood Lakes Lodge (OWLL) operates a self service pheasant & game hunting operation just outside Brookings, South Dakota. We have dedicated over 700 acres of the finest habitat you will find for our express purpose... a playground for pheasants and those who choose to pursue them. Oak Wood Lakes Lodge offers the premier self guided South Dakota Pheasant & wing hunting experience. The OWLL provides the hunter's dream pheasant hunt, lodge and amenities, with over 700 acres of dedicated pheasant habitat for only OWLL hunters and over 3,000 acres of public pheasant walk-in areas within 10 miles of the OWLL.

Phenomenal pheasant hunting attracts hunters to South Dakota from around the world, but it's the people that bring them back time and time again. Oak Wood Lakes Lodge realizes that having our hunters return year after year and bringing more friends is the key to our long-term success. It is the commitment of our staff to treat everyone to a relaxing, pheasant-filled hunting experience. 

Goodfellow’s owned and farmed the ground of the present Oak Wood Lakes Lodge since the 1910. Vance grew up on the working family farm until 1983 when the passing of his father Marc and some hard times forced the family to have a farm sale and rent the land out. Vance decided to fulfill a life long dream to own and operate a first rate hunting lodge in “God’s Country” aka his home state of South Dakota. As Vance works toward a military retirement the decision has been made to turn the farmland into a hunting Mecca. With the abundant pheasant/wildlife present, it only seemed natural that a pheasant hunting operation would be better use of the ground than traditional farming... so Oak Wood Lakes Lodge was born. Every year brings more friends and thus more changes. It has been a busy, but satisfying journey that we hope puts many smiles on our clients faces for years to come. 

Our commitment to excellence would not be possible without the help of our staff of family members and friends.
