About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedClark County sits at the heart of South Dakota's coteau des prairies, a glaciated plateau studded with lakes, sloughs, and prairie pothole wetlands that makes it a legitimate destination for both pheasants and waterfowl. The upland and wetland habitat combination here is as good as anywhere in the state, and pheasant populations consistently rank Clark among the top producing counties in annual roadside count surveys. White-tailed deer occupy the shelterbelts and creek corridors between fields.
Flat to gently rolling glaciated coteau plain with abundant natural lakes, wetland basins, and stock dams; heavy corn, soybean, and small grain production with native grass waterways and shelterbelts
Moderate to high for pheasants; county reputation draws hunters but Walk-In Area access distributes pressure reasonably well
OTC any-deer license; standard South Dakota structure
Waterfowl hunting ranks among the best in the state in good water years with ducks and Canada geese using coteau wetlands during fall migration
Among South Dakota top-ranked pheasant counties in roadside surveys; coteau wetland system provides exceptional waterfowl hunting alongside upland action
