Media Recognition, Quotes and Comments

"For the past 30+ years, several of my family, friends, and business associates have made our annual trip to Dakota Expeditions for pheasant and chukar hunting. Our group averages 18 and many in our group have grown to know the Smith’s and the people of Miller as extended family. The hunting has been superb, the hospitality and friendliness of the staff is wonderful, and the continued improvements at the lodge and homestead ensure we always look forward to October and the fall trek to South Dakota."  

--  Gus Vratsinas, VCC, Little Rock, AR

 

 

 "This was my sixth year at Dakota Expeditions; next year will be my seventh!  The hunting is always great, and the hospitality is always special!  You guys, your guides and your dogs always do a great job!"  --  Dave House

 

 

"We chose Dakota Expeditions from among the hundreds of outfitters because it alone offered an opportunity to hunt not only pheasant, but also partridge and even the occasional grouse.  And the relatively low price the comfortable accommodations, excellent food, good guides and dogs, and overall friendly family atmosphere."  --  Andy Krotinger

 

 

"Hunting pheasant on Clint's farm is like being transported in time back into the soil bank days -- Great cover and incredible numbers of birds.  It's a class act all the way" -- Tony Dean

 

"On a 520 acre farm in the heart of South Dakota, Clint Smith has created the best wild pheasant hunting opportunity I know of.  The entire Smith farm is made up of an ideal combination of food and cover.  Every square inch is prime pheasant habitat.  In fact, you can spot the farm from miles away, because it's so birdy-looking.  Hunting on his land for birds is no different than the best wild bird hunt you'll ever go on." -- Jerome B. Robinson, Sports Afield.
