Q: Do we hunt on private land?
A: No, the OWLL provides you the lodging that is located within 30 miles of over 20,000 acres of South Dakota state game production and public walk-in locations. It is actually illegal in South Dakota to guide hunters on public land which some outfits occasionally do. We are only providing the lodging and amenities for the hunters.

Q: Is blaze orange required?
A: It is not required by law, but we highly encourage wearing either a blaze cap or vest. We can provide these garments for you.

Q: Can I bring a dog for my pheasant hunt?
A: We encourage people to bring dogs. There is more joy hunting with your own dog. We have kennels available during your stay. The OWLL does not provide any hunting dogs.

Q: How do we get the birds home?
A: Many of our hunters will take a cooler of birds on the airplane on departure, others choose to donate some of the their pheasants and take a smaller amount with them. We are prepared to help you get your birds home from South Dakota, in whichever method you choose.

Q: How is the late season pheasant hunting in South Dakota?
A: The South Dakota Pheasant season usually ends the first weekend in January. If your heart races at the sound of 100+ birds flushing, then come hunting in December. The pheasants are bunched up and very flighty which makes for a challenging hunt. If cold weather isn't a problem, late season hunting is a truly memorable experience.

Q: Do we have long drives between hunts?
A: No, all of our pheasant hunting ground is within 30 miles of the OWLL facilities. Forty acres of pheasant hunting is literally "out-the-front-door". 1,000+ acres is within 5 miles of the OWLL.

Q: Do you have clay pigeons to shoot?
A: Yes, we have a skeet area dedicated to hone your skills. The use is unlimited to our package hunters. Clay pigeons and shells will not be provided.

Q: Are the pheasants wild or pen-raised?
A: COMPLETELY WILD Pheasants. South Dakota is home to millions and millions of pheasants.  Pheasants in their natural surroundings of public land in the Country's #1 State for pheasant hunting is our focus at OWLL.
