South
Dakota hunting - these hunts are as close to a sure thing as
you can get!
South
Dakota hunting with Crooked Creek Outfitters offers
prime mule deer hunts, antelope hunts, and prairie
dog hunts in "almost" Montana. The hunting area
covers over 32,000 acres, some of which borders
Montana. The hunting area is located in Harding
County, South Dakota.
The
outstanding rugged terrain and range is loaded with
mule deer and antelope and has some big animals. The
outfitters are very experienced and know their South
Dakota hunting land, and in some cases, you will
fill early.
While
hunting with us you will be housed in comfortable
surroundings with all your meals provided.
We offer guided archery/firearm hunting for mule deer and
archery/firearm for antelope! Licenses are available
over the counter upon request for archery. You may
buy your license by applying directly to the
Game, Fish & Parks. Firearm deer & antelope, at
this time, remains on a draw basis. At the time that
you receive your license we will schedule your hunt.
When
you deal with archery, it is difficult to figure an
exact success rate. In 2009 our guided archery
antelope success rate was 50% with a 100%
opportunity. Our guided archery deer was 100%.
The Campbell Outdoor Antelope Challenge which were
not guided hunts, enjoyed a 100% opportunity with a
65% success rate.
We
have included archery due to the current draw
system in South Dakota for firearm tags. The archery tags are a
guaranteed application. We have an ample quantity of quality animals on our
property.
Most
hunts are spot and stock done along pre-scouted
trails, gullies, alfalfa fields, waterholes, fences,
and water tanks. We use both man-made and "Ameristep"
brand blinds due to the fact that we have prairie
and "Badland Breaks" landscape with numerous dry
creek bottoms, alfalfa fields, food plots, and hay
corrals.
Crooked Creek
Outfitters, LLC has the U.S. Forest Service Permit
for all of Custer National Forest located in our
area. On the Forest Service land we utilize tree
stands for archery. Crooked Creek Outfitters offers
prime South Dakota hunting in the northwest part of
the state in Harding County. |

John & Barbara Hight 
Carmen, Gracy & Matt Gilbert |
Owners John Hight and Matt Gilbert are native to the
area, having both been born into ranching families
in Harding County.
Over the years, John pursued a career in Law
Enforcement and learned the outfitting
business from the bottom up - by working for
others. In 1983, John came back to Pierre,
SD, and established "Cherokee Charters,"
which catered to fishermen and big
game hunters. In late 2001, John sold
that business and formed Crooked Creek
Outfitters along with Matt Gilbert. Matt, in
contrast, stayed in Harding County and now
runs the family ranching operation there,
along with his wife, Carmen, daughter Gracy,
his dad, and his brother. Besides golfing
and hunting, Matt has aspirations of one day
operating as a Big Game Outfitter.
With Matt's present knowledge and John's experience
that day will come, as John has aspirations of one
day again retiring! When that day comes, Crooked
Creek Outfitters, as it does now, will provide you -
the sportsman - the quality, integrity and value you
deserve in your deer and antelope hunts.
Crooked Creek Outfitters
also offers guided South Dakota pheasant hunting.
Based out of Pierre, South Dakota, the state's
capital and geographically located in the center of
the state, we are in prime pheasant hunting country!
Crooked Creek Outfitters, LLC is a recommended
Outdoor Channel Outfitter. We also have filmed the
Campbell Outdoor Challenge show on Versus for the
last two years.
