Our Guests Talk About South Dakota Pheasant Hunting…
"I just wanted to send all of you a note of thanks for the outstanding experience at Signature Lodge. From a professional standpoint I could not have hoped for a better experience for my client Beretta and their invited guests. Everything was handled perfectly from the food and accommodations, to the great guides and their dogs. You were always one step ahead in anticipating our needs and we could not have found ourselves in a more perfect setting with such warm hospitality. Thank you for helping me to make this hunt and the launch of Beretta's Xplor a super success. And from a purely personal note – I had a great time!” — Kimberlee Eveland, Founder & President, Eveland & Partners
“I just wanted tell you how much I enjoyed my visit. Over the past few years I have hunted at several high-end wingshooting lodges, and without a doubt, I believe that Cheyenne Ridge Signature Lodge is ‘absolutely the best’. From the moment I was picked up at the airport on Thursday, to my departure on Sunday, I was made to feel welcome (especially given the fact that I came as a single guest/hunter). Your accommodations are outstanding; the scenery is relaxing and beautiful, and the food too delicious. This was my first hunt in South Dakota, and based on my experience, I assure you that I plan to return next season. I also enjoyed hunting with your top guide Jim, and appreciated his focus on gun safety, and all of the birds that he put me on. Best regards.” — Al Gaylor, Sugarland, Texas
“I wanted to say how great the entire hunting experience was. The accommodations were fantastic and the staff and guides were also excellent. My compliments for an outstanding menu and food presentation; truly first class! We are already talking about doing it again next year and Cheyenne Ridge is everyone's first choice.” — Robbie Bridges, Maidens, Virginia
“A quick note to thank you and your staff for such an enjoyable experience. The food and facilities were spectacular, but the friendliness and support from all members of your team really made it a special weekend. Best wishes for the upcoming season!” — Shane Belohrad, Omaha, Nebraska
“Thanks for hosting the Remington contingent in such admirable fashion, although I do have a stern complaint! I returned home six pounds heavier than when I left, and I'll have to battle the food gods for a month to shed the surplus! What wonderful cuisine we enjoyed, not to mention being treated royally in every way. As a small token of my appreciation I am sending along what I hope the two of you will deem a fitting gift. It is a signed and inscribed copy of "Field to Feast: The Remington Cookbook," which my wife and I wrote. Illustrated by paintings from the Remington art collection, it features a wide variety of game recipes, some suggestions on menus, and appropriate narrative content. I hope the two of you enjoy it. All the best, have a grand Thanksgiving, and again, thanks for your gracious hospitality.” — Jim Casada, Editor-At-Large, Sporting Classics Magazine, Rock Hill, South Carolina
“Thank you so much for your combined efforts to insure the success of our recent media hunt. The fine accommodations, gracious hospitality and the “beyond words” cuisine, courtesy of each of you and your exemplary staff, set this hunt apart. Add an abundance of pheasants, great dogs and perfect weather; the result was one of the best media events that I have hosted. Your accommodating-style and professionalism also made this a low stress trip for me as well, which is greatly appreciated! Jonathan, I also appreciate you joining our group and sharing the vision for Cheyenne Ridge. My best wishes to each of you for the upcoming holiday season and I look forward to visiting Cheyenne Ridge again in the future.” — Warmest regards, Linda Powell, Manager, Press Relations, Remington Arms Company, Inc.
“Thanks for the great hospitality during our recent Remington hunt at Cheyenne Ridge. You guys have got a great facility here! The food and accommodations were excellent. The staff was friendly and helpful. And you've got lots of birds!!!! Anyway, I know that having a first-class operation is not an accident. It takes lots of hard work, so please share my gratitude with everyone at Cheyenne Ridge. Yours is a hunting operation that I would love to come back to...nice people and good upland bird hunting— you can't beat that! All the best to you and Happy Holidays to everyone at Cheyenne Ridge!” — Jim Wilson, Senior Field Editor/NRA Publications
“Thanks very much for a great few days at your lodge. The hospitality and service were impeccable, the food extraordinary, and the SD pheasant hunting simply outstanding! In the three days we shot well over 250 pheasants! Amazing! As you know, I'll be back next year for an even longer stay. Please make sure Jim and his guides know how much I appreciate how hard they worked to make all three of my hunting days spectacular! See you next year! All the best!” — Doug Rawlinson, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
“I want to thank you for a wonderful time we had at your ranch. The whole staff was wonderful and it made it a very comfortable experience for my first time on a hunt of any type. I was the pilot of the aircraft that flew six hunters out on the 27th of October. Your staff was right there to pick us up and also at our side to make sure that everything went perfectly—and it did! We had wonderful weather and a very good experience hunting pheasants. Carl was an awesome chef and a wonderful host. For my first time on a hunt of this type, your lodge was A+. I am a pilot for a major airline based out of the Northeast and I get to see my share of hotels. Your lodge was outfitted beautifully and the surroundings were first-class. From your sporting clays range to your cigar-cognac bar, all were first-class. Again, thanks to your wonderful staff. I hope we will be flying out again next year, so I can come visit Cheyenne Ridge again. Thanks again for a wonderful time. Looking forward to seeing you guys again.” — Eric Sinn, Tabernacle, New Jersey
