According to Game, Fish & Parks' 2019 Pheasant Brood Count, the ring-neck population in South Dakota is still plentiful, even though a harsh winter and wet spring combined to have an impact on numbers this year.

We’ve updated our Pheasant Hunting Infographic for 2019 to reflect what hunters can expect in the coming year as well as the best talking points for members of the visitor industry. The ring-neck population, public hunting access, and the number of birds harvested annually in South Dakota make our state’s pheasant hunting the best in the nation.
