Cowboys roundup the herd at Custer State Park. photo courtesy of www.travelsd.com
If you're looking for a way to enhance an already great South Dakota pheasant hunt, how about watching the roundup of 1500 wild bison. Every year the the roundup occurs at Custer State Park as a management practice to control the herd size. Nearly 1500 bison, or buffalo are gathered to be sorted, vaccinated, and a certain number auctioned off. It's another great opportunity in SD to view nature in an up-close and personal capacity.
This year the roundup will occur on Monday, September 27, 2010. The roundup caps a three day festival celebrating western and Native American culture. At the Snake Den we view this as a great way to either end or begin a pheasant hunt at the Lodge. For those interested, transportation can be provided for the event.
The hunt would be conducted on the preserve which consists of nearly 800 acres of land intensely managed for the best pheasant hunting found anywhere. With over 70 acres of food plots, 50 acres of trees, and over 200 acres of grassland and upland habitat, the ringneck pheasant reigns supreme. The property also boasts two ponds filled with bass, bluegill, and perch. Additional opportunities are available for sharp-tailed grouse and prairie chickens, as the grouse season opens September 18, 2010.
