EnglishWhat Is Included in a Thunderstik Lodge Pheasant Hunting Package?
Updated
Thunderstik Lodge describes its pheasant hunting offerings as all-inclusive packages that combine the hunt itself with luxury accommodations, meals, and round-trip transportation from the Sioux Falls airport. The lodge sits on over 7,000 acres of pheasant habitat in the South Dakota grasslands near Chamberlain, about 7 miles off Interstate 90, and has operated since 1988. If you are weighing a corporate retreat or a smaller-group hunt and want to know what the package covers before you commit, the four components below are what the lodge's own materials identify.
The four included components
| Component | What the lodge states |
|---|---|
| Pheasant hunting | Guided hunts on 7,000+ acres of pheasant habitat; positioned as suited to the "selective sportsman" |
| Accommodations | Luxury lodging at the lodge itself |
| Meals | Described as "superb meals" |
| Transportation | Round-trip transport provided from the Sioux Falls airport |
The lodge also notes that the property overlooks the Missouri River and that its staff have hosted hunters from around the globe, with many guests returning for 20+ years.
Who the packages are built for
The lodge explicitly names two use cases:
- Corporate hunts — framed as team-building or relationship-building with clients.
- Smaller groups — the same all-inclusive structure applies.
Because the package is described as all-inclusive, the practical planning question shifts from "what do I add on?" to "what do I need to arrange myself?" — and the answer, per the lodge, is essentially just getting to Sioux Falls.
What the materials do not specify
The source page does not list:
- Per-person or per-group pricing
- Season dates or booking windows
- Group-size minimums or maximums
- Whether ammunition, firearms, or licenses are included
- Cancellation or deposit terms
If any of these matter to your decision, they need to be confirmed directly rather than assumed from the "all-inclusive" label.
How to move forward
- Go to the lodge's Plan Your Hunt page (thunderstik.com/plan/) to start the booking process.
- Alternatively, call 763-595-5936 for details.
- Ask specifically about pricing, dates, group size, and what gear or licensing you must bring — these are the gaps the public materials leave open.
The all-inclusive framing is the main selling point: hunt, lodging, food, and airport transfers in one package, aimed at corporate groups and small parties who want the logistics handled. Confirm the specifics by phone or through the planning page before treating any detail as settled.
