RE: SD or Iowa Pheasant
We hunted south and west of town. All walk-in, they call it plots program. Go to HD fish & game home page, go to general info, go to maps, go to plots guide and pull up map #5&11. South of Dickinson about 13 miles on 22, then head west. There is a good cluster of properties in that area. I had a real good time in there. Also we came in on 85, 5 miles up from the start of Stark county[south end] is the first plots land, west side of road, don't over look it. When you hit the north end of that property turn east and look for the church. Make sure you hunt the souh side of that quarter section. It doesn't look like much from the road, but I killed a limit of pheasants in that field in about an hour. And two Sharptails also. Good luck if you get up that way. Let me know how you do.
Gselkhunter P.S. it was a12 hour drive from Colorado Springs, CO and it was worth it.
