About The Event
Join us for the 7th annual Prairie Dog Hunting event at Bad River Bucks and Birds, nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of South Dakota. Building on the success and excitement of previous years, this is an opportunity you won't want to miss. Prepare for high-volume shooting, unforgettable experiences, and a truly relaxing rifle hunt.
This year, we have exclusive access to hundreds of acres of prime prairie dog hunting land, with shooting distances from 50 yards to over 800 yards. Last year's longest shot reached an impressive 860 yards, and this year's event promises even more excitement. We'll be hunting in at least three of the 40 different prairie dog towns available, ranging from 20 to 400 acres, ensuring plenty of thrilling shots and endless fun. Participants can shoot up to 200 rounds per day!
Besides prairie dog hunting, enjoy fishing at the private pond located just 600 yards from the lodge. The pond is stocked with bass, offering high-action fishing in a beautiful, serene setting.
This hunt is ideal for those looking to test their skills with various firearms, calibers, and bullets in diverse conditions, especially wind and distance. With no early mornings, no long walks, and numerous targets, it’s the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
