To the avid upland wingshooter, nothing compares to the flush of a wild ringneck pheasant. The simultaneous explosion of color and sound followed by the explosive report of a fine shot gun, and hopefully, if all goes as it should, the retrieve and delivery of another bird for your game bag. Since the key to any successful wild pheasant hunt is birds, at Grand Ciel Lodge, we select our habitat based on the survival needs of wild pheasants. Grand Ciel Lodge specializes in wild pheasant hunting on some of the finest habitat you will find anywhere in South Dakota. We strive to find and maintain the balance between the harsh realities facing both agribusiness and wildlife, and we believe we have found that balance.

As you drive down the one mile driveway to Grand Ciel Lodge, you'll be struck by the encompassing beauty of the open prairie.

If you would rather hunt upland birds across the Saskatchewan prairies in the morning and spend the afternoon shooting ducks over water we can provide that hunt as well.

Some of our hunters have elected to take the first two days of their guided hunts and shoot snow geese in the morning, ducks in the afternoon and then take the last day or two of their trip and strictly hunt upland birds. That can be arranged. .
