RecreationThe diverse landscape of The Rooster Roost Ranch is characterized by an assortment of habitats and an abundant array of natural resources. For many outdoor enthusiasts, no other wildlife species in the state is as recognized or valued as the ring-necked pheasant. Though pheasants are not a native species to North America, they have become naturalized to this mosaic of grassland and agricultural land habitat found in much of South Dakota. From the first successful releases of pheasants in 1908 to the current estimated population of around 10 million birds, South Dakotans and our visitors have built a rich and deeply rooted tradition around pheasants and pheasant hunting. The opening weekend in October is an event anticipated not only by pheasant hunters, but also family and friends who are reunited during this social gathering.

South Dakota is one of the top pheasant harvest states and claims the top number of birds per hunter per season. Located in the top ringneck range, Mitchell and The Rooster Roost Ranch is regarded as one of the best pheasant hunting spots in the nation, a position it has maintained for decades. You will also find an abundance of white-tailed deer and turkey as well as ducks and geese.

If you enjoy fishing, Lake Mitchell offers exceptional pan fishing like crappie and bluegill. It also offers bass fishing opportunities with small mouth bass coming on strong. Walleye fishing can be challenging but rewarding. Bigger fish can be taken in the spring and fall of the year. In the winter try ice fishing for walleye or pan fish. Mitchell is convenient to the Missouri River system that presents some of the finest walleye

LocationThe Rooster Roost Ranch is located just 2.5 miles south and 1 mile west of I-90 Exit 330 which is just 65 miles west of Sioux Falls.
