Tumbleweed Lodge

Trek Safaris is proud to be associated with Tumbleweed Lodge in South Dakota. As in any fine hunting lodge, success starts at the top and the Bollweg’s have done a masterful job. Reports are for another record pheasant hatch rate for the 2010 season. Dates limited so call soon.This 2010 season Trek will again be sending all of our South Dakota Pheasant clients to Tumbleweed Lodge exclusively. Don, Michael and the rest of the  Bollweg family own and personally oversee all aspects of their operations so from the welcome safety speech on, you’ll see why we consider Tumbleweed Lodge one the very best shooting experiences available in the United States. As you know all great Pheasant hunting begins with great habitat and Tumbleweed lodge is proud to offer 12,000 plus acres of such land.

 The Trip:  When it comes to hunting, one thing they pride themselves on is keeping their hunting groups private so no matter how big or small your group is they will not mix with others. They have some of the best guides available and with plenty of land and transportation available,    don’t worry about being crowded in the fields.  Tumbleweed’s biggest draw is that they offer Sharp Tail Grouse and Prairie Chicken hunting and sporting clay shooting at their 50 target range at no additional charge! Most of the pheasant shooting will be using the typical “walker blocker” method complete with well trained flushing dogs.

The Accommodations:  Tumbleweed lodge is a beautiful lodge accepting individual groups from 1 to 24 clients. Last year they added a spa building to include a sauna, steamroom and jacuzzi, so be ready to relax your muscles after a long day in the field.  Again, from the moment you are met in the Pierre airport you will see why Tumbleweed Lodge has quickly became one of our favorite destinations.  

The Hunting: The first day is spent getting settled in and maybe a little sporting clay shooting to get the edge off. The following three days will be full days of shooting with a daily 5 bird per person bag limit of Pheasants included in the package.

Depending on the weather and dates you are there, you can possibly shoot Ducks, Geese or the other upland birds before and /orafter the Pheasant shooting. The last day you will fly home and usually there is no hunting that day.
