OUTDOORSMAN.COM OUTFITTER OF THE MONTH - JULY 2007

Welcome to Cheyenne Ridge Outfitters & Lodge. We offer outstanding big game hunts at our three outposts that encompass 70,000 total acres which are owned and operated by the owners of Cheyenne Ridge. Numerous turkey, mule deer, whitetail deer and antelope await you in our unique and picturesque natural habitats.

The Hat Creek Outpost is a sprawling company owned property located between the towns of Hot Springs and Ardmore, South Dakota. This 35,000 acre working cattle ranch has over 15 contiguous miles of creek bottom habitat along the famous Hat Creek. Hat Creek flows from the Nebraska border north through southwestern South Dakota into the Cheyenne River and has earned a reputation over the years as one of the foremost locales for trophy mule deer, whitetail deer and turkeys.

The Hat Creek Outpost offers single specie and combination archery hunts for mule deer, whitetail deer, pronghorn antelope and turkey. Through extensive wildlife management and selective harvest this property has become extremely productive.

Lodging accommodations are provided in a modern ranch house near the heart of the hunting territory. Transportation is provided including to and from the Rapid City, South Dakota airport. Hearty meals are provided.

Early season archery deer hunts may be combined with Pronghorn Antelope hunting during the archery antelope season. The West River archery deer season opens the third weekend in September. Archery antelope is already open at that time, running through the end of October, allowing a bonus combination hunt.

Cheyenne Ridge Outfitters & Lodge offer our guests a multitude of opportunity and you can be sure you will leave with terrific memories and a longing to be back next season.

Welcome to Sportsman's Acres. South Dakota Whitetail Deer Archery Hunts

Looking for the best archery whitetail deer hunting destination in South Dakota? A place where you can return year after year and have not only a great time, but a successful archery hunt? Whether you are looking for a trophy whitetail hunt or a relaxing family hunt vacation, we're the whitetail hunting destination that you want! Sportsman's Acres specializes in Whitetail Deer Archery Hunts & Wild Pheasant Hunts but we also offer Dove, Waterfowl, or combination hunts to fit your needs.

If you are looking for an archery whitetail hunt that has great trophy potential, you've found your hunt. The deer here have not been hunted with rifle for 3 years. We run a 5 mile stretch of the James River using strategically-placed tree stands and ground blinds for your convenience. This area has rolling hills and wooded draws that make ideal traffic corridors for some BIG whitetail. It offers ideal food plots to support large deer, including corn, alfalfa, prairie grass and soybeans. The typical buck here will score a 140 BC on up and weigh between 225-300+ lbs. We take only a limited number of hunters to ensure trophy potential for each and every one of our clients. Check out the pictures of the mounts in the lodge. The pictures speak for themselves!

If you'd like, you can make a great combination guided hunt for whitetails AND pheasants in the same trip, with the "bonus birds" of grouse, Hungarian partridge, and ring neck pheasant hunting and waterfowl.

Book your hunts early! We only take a limited number of hunters, to ensure the best shots at your trophy. Don't forget to ask South Dakota spring and fall turkey hunts.
