Unfortunately in SD nowadays it is very hard to get permission to hunt private land for pheasants. If you do ask enough times you will get permission once ina while. Most of the land in the prime pheasant range is sewed up by so called guides and the big hunting estates. Many of these shooting places are required to stock birds and they come from Minnesota and Wisconsin game farms. If you are willing to work for your birds then come up. You can get maps and a Walk in Atlas from the GF &P and we do have a lot of public land listed in these publications that will give you all the land you would ever need to have a fun hunt.
