I've hunted sharptail grouse, prairie chicken and hungarian partrage(sp?) in/near pierre and nearly limited out on the grouse and praire chicken every day I hunted so there are a lot there. It's also a pheasant mecca as well so, you have that going for you. I also was nearly run over by antelope while hunting the aforementioned birds and I saw several herds while hiking through the fields so you could probably hunt those as well as mule deer (my uncle has some awesome pics of mulies while hunting those birds). All in all, its an awesome place to live if you love hunting!.
