About this trip

South Dakota Prairie Dog Hunts | Private Ranches & Prairie Country

Location: South Dakota

Hosted By: South Dakota Access Guide Service

Target Species: Prairie Dogs


Experience High-Volume Shooting Across South Dakota's Prairie Landscapes

South Dakota Access Guide Service offers prairie dog hunting opportunities across private ranches and prairie country throughout South Dakota. These hunts provide an exciting and highly interactive shooting experience while allowing hunters to enjoy some of the state's most expansive and scenic landscapes.


Prairie dog hunting is ideal for shooters looking to improve long-range marksmanship, test new equipment, or simply enjoy a day of continuous action in the field.


South Dakota's expansive grasslands and ranch country support numerous prairie dog towns that can provide opportunities ranging from close-range shots to distances well beyond 500 yards.


Private Ranch Prairie Dog Hunts

Private ranch hunts take place on carefully selected properties where active prairie dog populations create exceptional shooting opportunities.


Hunters can spend the day moving between active towns, setting up on productive locations, and engaging targets at a variety of distances. The open nature of prairie dog country allows shooters to challenge themselves while enjoying nearly nonstop opportunities throughout the day.


These hunts are excellent for families, groups of friends, first-time shooters, and experienced long-range enthusiasts alike.
