About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedCharles Mix County lines the south-central Missouri River from the Nebraska border north to Lake Francis Case, creating a diverse hunting landscape that combines eastern cropland pheasants with timbered river break deer and turkey. The county is larger than it looks on a map and contains some of the most productive mixed-bag hunting in South Dakota. Lake Francis Case and the timbered breaks of the Missouri are the defining features, attracting hunters from across the region.
Eastern portions feature rolling glacial cropland with corn, soybeans, and hay; the Missouri River corridor offers steep breaks with dense cedar, cottonwood, and native shrubs; Lake Francis Case provides miles of shoreline and backwater sloughs
Moderate; combination of species diversity and public land access attracts hunters but the large county allows room to find solitude
OTC any-deer license; river break bucks are a legitimate trophy draw
Wild turkey populations strong in timbered Missouri breaks; waterfowl on Lake Francis Case and backwaters; pheasants in eastern agricultural portions
Lake Francis Case and timbered Missouri breaks for white-tails and turkey; one of the better mixed-species counties in south-central South Dakota
