South Dakota Pheasant Suggestions

[B-KayCh]

So starting to put together a SD Pheasant hunt for group been hunting with for years. Looking late Oct/Nov of 2025. Been doing some looking online at various outfitters. None of us have bird dogs so self guided is out.
There will be 8-12 depending on some work schedules. Anyone have experience good or bad with outfits around Aberdeen, SD. Some will fly in or out due to work why looking Aberdeen.
Prefer a place that does lodging, meals, dogs, guides, etc. Any input appreciated, figure some here have done trips like this.
Thanks in advance.

Damn I must have been doing it all wrong solo without a dog and full pouch. You don't need a dog to shoot roosters, 8-12 man mob will flush them.

Been out there 6 or 7 times. Never had dogs and always hunted public land. We did knock on a couple of doors and got permission pretty easy. We hunted about an hour south of Aberdeen, but did venture up that way some. Shoot me a PM and I’d be glad to share some more information
