Whitetail Hunting - We Grow Em' Big in South Dakota!
Northern Plains Outfitters, Inc. offers Archery-Only Whitetail Deer Hunts to a limited number of discriminating clients looking for an opportunity to harvest a trophy class animal.
All of our Archery Deer Hunts are done under the rules of fair chase as there are no high fences. Our "All-Inclusive" Whitetail Hunts were created for the sole purpose of providing the hunter with a high quality hunting experience. All of the Guides are Archery Hunters and know the habits of the deer and know what it takes to get you close enough for that shot of a lifetime.
Archery Whitetail Season
Our Archery season typically runs from the end of September through the third weekend in November with the Rut starting around the end of October. The license is a Lottery Draw, but as a Non-Resident, you are guaranteed to receive the license if you apply. The cost of the license is $195 for the 2008 season. Licenses can be applied for at the South Dakota Game, Fish, and Parks website, www.sdgfp.info.
Typical Day of Hunting
A typical day consists of a morning hunt, a nap during the mid-day (depending upon the rut), and an evening hunt. Many of our deer hunters will add a day or two of Pheasant Hunting if time permits. It is a great way to spend the down time away from the deer stand. We can accommodate all types of hunters.
Whitetail Land Details
All hunting is done on 20,000 Private Acres from BIG DOG Tree Stands and Double Bull Ground Blinds with over 80 different specific locations on the edges of bedding areas, funnels between bedding and feeding, waterholes, and much more.
Deer Numbers
The deer herd numbers are up over the last few years and you can expect to see numerous deer each time you take a stand. Our deer management goal is to harvest only mature bucks that score a minimum of 125". The biggest buck harvested on our place in the last 3 years scored 183 6/8" and will rank as the 2nd All-Time Archery Buck harvested in South Dakota!
