Winter Hunting at Mystic Prairie A Delight

The winter of 2010 was a wild experience for guests from California’s Grimmway farms. They were surprised to find the stories of South Dakota weather are as true as the stories of the huge number of native pheasants.

Despite snow cover of over 3 feet across the vast amount of land at Mystic Prairie these hunting where still able to harvest their limit of pheasants with the aid of snow shoes. While not a typical situation you encounter during a classic pheasant hunt. The staff at Mystic Prairie did not let a little thing like night time temperature at 10 below zero and snow drifts over 10 feet tall stop this warm weather team from having a great time. With the help of snow machines and a ton of good old fashion cooking and flocks of pheasants at every turn these guest had the hunt of a life time.

Note: The guys from Greenway are returning again this hunting season to Mystic but have traded in their March hunting date for one in October. If you would like to experience hunting huge pheasant population with the added challenge of doing it from snow shoes give us call. Discounted snow hunting rates are available.

You can see a few more photos from their hunt in the Mystic Prairie 2010 Winter Hunt Photo Album.
