South Dakota hunting and African Safaris
African safaris were made famous by Hemingway and the tradition continues to this day with African safari tours and even a lion safari can be had.
In one way or another, we have all had contact with the work or read about the life of the famous American writer Ernest Hemingway. We certainly don’t associate Hemingway with Africa safaris and hunting expeditions or wilderness.
Those who know a bit about the man have read of swashbuckling tales of drinking, bull fighting and hard living. We knew him as an avid sportsman who even penned one of his great books, The Sun Also Rises, around the annual running of the bulls in Spain.
There are abundant pheasants in the area and the Lake Preston DeSmet area is on of the major duck and geese flyways in the area. Pro guides bring their clients to this area to hunt and pheasant, ducks and goose success is phenomenal most of the time. Toni at the Lake Preston motel or Bo from the Bait Box in Lake Preston can tell you where it’s best.
If you come to the area to hunt you might want to bring your fishing rods as the fishing is also very good and combining a pheasant hunting trip with some great walleye fishing is as good as it gets. You can get to the hunting board by clicking the following link South Dakota Hunting Forum
If you would rather fish than hunt you can check out what the Bait Box of Lake Preston has to offer. They also have ammo and other hunting needs. Even a drop off for one of the best taxidermists in the state.
