gary’s guide service

We are located in the Fairfax and Bonesteel area of South Dakota. This part of the state does not have a lot of big cities, just many small, friendly communities.

 

HUNTING LOCATIONS AND TRANSPORTATION

 

Our pheasant, grouse, prairie chicken and varmint hunts are located in the Fairfax and Bonesteel area.  Sioux Falls is the closest commercial airport, it is about 2 1/2 hours from our operation.  Sioux City, Iowa is 3 hours away and also handles commercial flights.  Private and smaller commuter aircraft can be accommodated at Wagner (27 miles), Mitchell (90 miles) and Yankton (90 miles) airports. 

 

Waterfowl Licenses

 

Waterfowl licenses for the Lake Andes area are allocated by lottery. Hunters have to apply for waterfowl licenses by August. Applications are usually available by June and usually run out by September. If you are prompt in getting your application in you should get a license. We are the only unit in South Dakota (100A-33) in which the waterfowl license is good for the whole year. We also have some licenses available over the counter which have restrictions on areas that can be hunted.

 

Walleye Fishing

 

We will be guiding the fishing trips this year with a new AlumaCraft boat in the Pickstown area of the Missouri river. The limit this year is 4 Walleye per person per day.  I have 30 years experience guiding Walleye fishermen on the Missouri River. I have seen all the ups and downs of the fishery. This will be a great fishing season. The numbers and size of Fish are up.
