I haven't been in a couple of years but I still say it was the best hunting experence I have ever had!! And I have been hunting for my entire life!!
It's not like a bird on a string hunt like other's I've been to, soon as I have the time and money I'll be back!!

I have been hunting in SD for about 14 years. in Platte
We stay at my dad's cousin Harold's lodge. a private deal there but we know many in the town of Platte. just east of the missouri river.
Harold ownes tool and die here in michigan. the land in SD is a side investment for him( like 28,000 acres of it!!) for hunting, crops, and a cattle ranch. His lodge is unbelievable!!! sleeps 12, and the other building sleeps 16!!!! we are spoiled.....i have a pic of 11 of us with 33 birds on the ground by 2:30pm - time to hit the bar.......
anyway. I don't know of another fancy turn key lodge. but nice newer motel in town, three bars to hang out. and great prime rib at the old 1800's motel and bar. great breakfast at the cattle auction every morning. It's like going back in time. don't forget to raise a hand at the guy going the opposite way on the road.....
and you can hunt on private land for $100 per gun per day with Chad, and his dog, or bring your dogs. Chads family farms 20,000+ acres too. well known and respected family in the area. Chad is a riot too. he'll mosie to the bar with you.
pm me if this fits your interest.
some day I hope to answer this postl with: " yea stay at our lodge" as my son and my cousin's(hunting buddy) son are 5 now...... we hope to hunt in Platte till we're 80.
