As the air turns crisp and the leaves begin to change, South Dakota's rolling prairies beckon hunters from near and far. This year, the 2024 pheasant hunting season promises to be one of the best yet, offering hunters ample opportunities to explore the state's diverse landscapes and abundant wildlife. Whether you're a seasoned hunter or introducing the next generation to the sport, Yankton Lakehouse is your perfect base for an unforgettable hunting experience.
2024 Pheasant Hunting Seasons
South Dakota's pheasant hunting season is divided into three distinct periods, each catering to different hunters' needs and preferences. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect:
1. Youth Only Season: September 28 - October 6, 2024
Kick off the hunting season by creating lasting memories with the young hunters in your life. The Youth Only Season allows resident and nonresident youth to hunt before the opening weekend, accompanied by an unarmed adult. This is a fantastic opportunity to teach kids the ins and outs of hunting in a safe, supportive environment. The season is open on both private and public lands, giving you plenty of options to find the perfect spot.
2. Resident-Only Season: October 12 - October 14, 2024
For South Dakota residents, this exclusive three-day season is your chance to hunt on public lands without the usual crowd. Whether you're a local looking for a quick weekend trip or want to get a head start before the traditional season opens, this period offers a quieter, more relaxed hunting experience.
3. Traditional Season: October 19, 2024 - January 31, 2025
The traditional pheasant season is where the action truly heats up. Starting on the third Saturday of October, this season is open to both residents and nonresidents, inviting hunters from across the country to participate in this beloved South Dakota tradition. With a daily limit of three rooster pheasants and a possession limit of 15, you'll have plenty of opportunities to bag your limit.
